There's a bug wandering round in my TFT!

They are normally small storn flies. I am actually having my 2005fpw monitor replaced under warranty as I argued it should be sealed/protected to stop this occuring. They agreed and im now recieving a 2007wfp in return :D

I had this with my old Hercules 920 Pro 17" monitor, this was out of warranty and I was able to open it up and wipe the little fly off the layer of glass.

You did very well to convince them of that, impressive :D
 
I am pleased with the 2005fpw to 2007wfp swap, that was a nice bonus. They had no problem at all replacing the 2005fpw under warranty due to the insect, he said they have a lot returned.

I watched my little insect friend walk around for about an hour before he died right in the middle of my screen :mad: Very annoying, if I hadn't bought the monitor 3 months ago I would have taken it apart and removed it myself.

Talking of free crts, one of the teachers at school found a 22" iiyama in the local tip while binning some stuff. Not only was it working, but it was only a few months old so he was smiling his ass off all week.

I always have my monitor covered up when not using it for this very reason ;)

At a guess they're attracted mainly to the light, possibly the heat, so having the monitor covered up when you're not using it is a pointless exercise ;).
 
:p Yes I believe it is mainly due to the light the bugs which fly the ones which get attracted to light a lot on my monitor, but not inside ;)

That's true but those thunder flies are everywhere in this hot weather and they were all over my cover, they would have got inside otherwise + I haven't got any in my monitor.

It's to much of a coinsidence that so may people are getting small bugs in thier monitors while the weathers hot ;)

I get the odd bug now and again in my room but during the hot days there are hundreds of those black thunder flies which most people are talking about.
