Bug Stuck In Monitor!

[Deleted member 77746]

You will never get a bug out the screen, never mind the software code.

is this an actual bug or a feature?

it's a bug's life

It's a thunderbug. They crawl in through the front bezel and get between the filters. If it does there then the only way to get it out is to take the monitor apart.

Its happened to me a few times. They get in your TV too.

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

Donations are welcome

How... Wh.... egh, how did you break it?

It's a thunderbug.

More commonly known as thripps.
I have anti-thripp netting over my windows, for this very reason - We have farmers' fields out the back of our house and I've still got at least 20 of the ***** in my very expensive monitor. The worst is when you're playing something (in my case I was trying out PUBG) and you shoot at 'a figure on the horizon', only to find it's a ******* thripp!!

This thread suggests using a suction cup to just pull the front of the screen forward slightly and they should drop down.

They might, but no guarantees. Same for tapping, jiggling, cycling pixels and all the other tricks.
Disassembly seems to be the only option in many cases.

would loved to have heard the conversation you could have had with ASUS support

Nope, No need they are slow as flip and I posted instead.

I have a name at long last, thanks. Been googling trying to find out what bugs that they are. throughout the day I find even more of them around the room. Next time not to kill it and damn squished it. Just let it run around being free and maybe help it a little to get near the edge. But in my case, it's RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. Hate bugs right now.

Yet I do not know how they get to be up in my office! THe bugs loves to be around weeds and plants right? then why they are three-story high in the roof and coming from my window. They just walked from the ground to the top and then into my screen.

Does anyone know what products to kill those damn bugs?

Yep.. sad face.

They are very common this time of year. I tend to game less at this time for this very reason although I've found kids tend to do that all year round anyway

Good recommended Monitors for under £200 that will do until I get my gaming monitor replaced

I have one just below and to the left of the centre of my monitor and it does my head in. Been there about 6 months and nothing will shift it. At least now I can feel that leaving it there was the right call instead of risking breaking it
