There is one pixel toward the botom right part of my screen that always stays a bright orangish-red color, is there anyway to fix it?
You are dealing with a stuck pixel (as opposed to a dead pixel, which is black on a white screen). Here is a popular method for fixing them:

I think I've got the same problem with my DS' touch screen. I've tried it with a bunch of different colors but it's easiest to see on a darker color. When I'm on white I can't see a thing so I don't think it's dead.
Anyone know of any fixes for the DS like the one z6 posted for Wenis.

EDIT: I found a couple and am running them right now. For those who might need them later on, here are the links.

You're going to need some sort of homebrew booting tool to run the programs. (ie: M3, R4, FlashMe)
So did they work?
Thanks, I have a stuck blue pixel that's only visible in the darkest screens on my school laptop and I can't get it to go away when I'm watching a DVD, like I watched all The Matrix Trilogy without one blue pixel on somebody's face like the whole movie, annoying. xD
When or how does this usually happen. I know whem people buy LCD monitors or TV they're suppose to check for this type of issue.

There is a threshold of stuck/dead pixels that is acceptable for each screen from the manufacturer. The location and number make a difference if the panel is scrapped or not. There isn't really a standard but usually low end brands are more lenient.
