Thunderflys

[tntcoder]

Hi,

My two new (this year) 24" samsungs have each had black thunderfly bugs break into them in the past couple of days, and now seem to have died in the middle of the screen and I cant move them.

They look like a couple of dead black pixels.

Is there any kind of warranty protection against this? I've had it happen with numerous TFTs in the past, I don't know why they cant seal the edges better to stop them getting in, seriously annoying considering the expense

Anything I can do to get them out?

I have has this problem and ended up having to put up fine mesh on the windows and a bug zapper in the corner - there is nowt you can do once they are dead, best thing to do to stop them (sorry a bit late now) is to leave monitor off (not stby) when not in use and put up defence measures.

If they are still alive, which many of mine were, I put a black background on, with the white mouse pointer and encouraged them to the side/bottom where they died out of sight. I have heard of people claiming on the warranty as I thought Samsumg were meant to be sealed - happy to be corrected if this is not the case.

Its a pain, sorry couldnt be more help.

Sometimes they will follow the cursor, otherwise tap lightly around the bug (not on them) and it might help them drop to the bottom, or turn the screens upside down and do it, there may be a wider opening?
