Bug Stuck In Monitor!

Empire24453 · 16 Jul 2020 at 17:32

Screen turned on and seeing a weird little dote on the screen and it was moving, I used my brash to brush it off and it wouldn't move or go away then seen it's inside the monitor. The it never moved and stuck.

Turns out it's a bug and I can't even know what to do. It's giving me a pain HEADDDDDD. Also it's right in a bad spot. Using Asus PG279QE

Any ideas? and bad news I don't think I can even take the monitor apart as it's in the panel.

It's making me so mad that I feel like smashing this screen and getting another one. Does this cover under warranty for bugs getting stuck. And no idea if it's dead or alive

Type a message on the screen asking the bug to go...

Empire24453 · 16 Jul 2020 at 17:39

And that's a crazy answer. As I'm reading and typing I see the damn bug

Ask him to 'bugger' off!

I would run a vacuum cleaner over the vent in the monitor, hopefully it will pull the sucker to the edge at the very least.

I don't see how that would work if it's inside the panel, well seems to be and it's in the middle of the screen and even on high might not be powerful to suck it up ???

Had them in my rog swift before. They get between the panel and backlight, it is easy enough to open the screen and carefully separate to clean (one screw under the ASU’s logo then 4 on the back under the mount). Small amount of ipa to clean the panel if needed.

Maybe put it in a dark room with a lamp near to the air vent and let it find it's way out then.

A sharp tap on the top of the monitor can often dislodge them.

Have you got a marker pen?

If so, draw an exit route on the screen as the bug may be lost!

nevermind, Monitor is had it, removed the case One of the screws was stuck and BANG!

Toothy1911 · 16 Jul 2020 at 20:23

Wait. What happened? Did you pull the cover off with a screw still attached and break it?
Was going to suggest compressed air to blow it out.

Had it almost three years also, RIP

Turns out there were 4 of those little damn bugs, No idea HOW that got in but they got in. The dead bug got squashed when I was unscrewing it. Well, £600 monitor is now RIP and no longer working :mad:

Donations are welcome

You didn't undo it whilst it was on did you?
