Help! Bug stuck in my screen!

khare · 27 Oct 2011 at 17:42

Hi guys. Right, basically about a year ago I had two small bugs, sort of like two ants this size ~ crawling around the screen. One of them decided to die in view, about 3/4 down, to the right. I'ts bloody annoying! It's been there a year now but it's just started to really bug (wheyyyy) me.

Any suggestions? I've tried shaking and tapping, I think compressed air is next on the list but I doubt the air will reach right were the bug is, between the screen and the LCD panel.

Cheers guys, will try air and then if it fails I guess it's take apart jobby.

I'm trying to think of a pun but I'm out hahaha

If it's been cooked into the screen, you'll need more than compress air I'm afraid.

Yeah very cooked in I think!

Tried splitting the monitor but it wouldn't split. Left it as it was as I rather have the bug in there and not break the monitor!

The monitor was bought for my first build about 4 years ago, so warranty is well out. It does have a dead pixel though, had it since new, but I just ignored it and kept it.
