Unfortunately if it’s dead you’ll have to replace the LCD panel.
Attempting to dismantle the LCD panel will destroy it.
I’ve had 3 thrips in my LCD monitor and all have been encouraged to leave :)
The best method I have found is to remove the rear panel from the monitor, cover the whole LCD panel with a close fitting piece of cardboard and shine a very bright light directly onto the desk or wall behind.
Leave the monitor off for a few days.
The thrip should leave and head for the bright light.
Hi! I found today that I have an infestation of these horrible creatures in my laptop. They aren't on the inside of the screen, they are all crawling on the outside, out of the vents and on the surface of the screen. Is there a good way of getting rid of them? My laptop is in a bag right now, sealed up with some bug powder.
I wouldn't kill them with poison as they will die in situ. Put your laptop somewhere very dark with the screen open so they can easily crawl away. Similarly as I did, pop your laptop in a dark wardrobe for a few days. They will quickly start to leave the laptop and head for any points of light they see. Thrips are very poor fliers, so need time to leave your laptop on foot :)
@ZilinaSK Haha, it's alright, we found out that they were moth larvae, and they weren't coming from the laptop, they were coming from the lampshade above us :P
Hey one week ago I also found one in my laptop! It was already dead and I am pretty sure it is a bug, cause I can see its legs :( Annoying cause it stole my pixels for rest of my laptops life -_-
A few weeks ago one turned up wandering around inside my own LCD screen :(
As they are attracted to light I switched off my monitor and left it inside a pitch black wardrobe for 48 hours.
When I next used my screen he was gone and I haven’t seen the little bugger again.
My thinking was…. if there is no light to attract him (or her) to the screen they may wander to the outer edge and get stuck on the sealing tape or escape through a hole?
