Hey I have 17" laptop which is also a Dell and I've currently got one the the little buggers in my screen at the moment...it won't go away!!

[tokolafane]

@Chazzy0x0 Ha :P Call it Fred

[Chazzy0x0]

@tokolafane

¬¬ I did, anyway Fred is no longer in my laptop =D took 5-7hours for him to come out and i tried turning off the laptop with alamp nearby and that didn't work =/

I'm so glad he's gone because I think dismantling a laptop screen is far harder than a moniter.

Rebuilt monitor in reverse to taking apart plugged back into my PC and now i have a clear picture again.

@avgasandy Same problem as of last week (axcept my fly is un-squashed), I'm not sure how to go about taking my screen apart, seeeing as it has no screws. How did you take your screen apart - Do you think there are screws behind the front panel? (My screen is the LG W2242S)

[avgasandy]

@Flyntendo Hi mine had a metal pressed frame around the screen assembly i lifted the little lugs all around untill it came away, i then gently lifted the outer screen up been carefull of the ribbon cables.

Hope that helps

Cheers

I have just had the same problem had about 20 harvest flies in my screen children then pushed the screen against them leaving little blobs all over.

Had to take casing off the monitor disconnet the electrical leads x 5 in total to remove lcd screen from PSB, then i took the metal surround off the screen and lifted the outer making sure i did not damage the ribbon cables. With a soft clean cloth clened the inside of the lifted portion and the white background.

KILL THE BASTARD!

[Szkazi]

@gevelegian yeah lure it to the centre of the screen and kill it so that you have a "black dot sight " in FPS games :D

[gevelegian]

@Szkazi LOL and get some in your mouse too for aimbot!

[natureisthelife]

Dont worry it wont disturb you after it dies

[figfewdisgewd]

Wow that would make me go insane. I hate killing them (I like insects) and can't afford to do computer surgery on my screen to remove it. I guess you should treat it like a virtual pet =P

[MrFisheh100]

i have 2 in mine it's so annoying GRRRR

[TheVideoGuy77]

why dont you guys try to use one of those keyboard blower things and put it between the holes then blow it out

[lionpulse]

dont crush the bug dude

[sammo1123]

Got exactly the same problem, I can't get the little buggers out, I went to the extremes and took my monitor to a local car garage and asked them to air line my screen with a powerful compressor through the vents, and its still here bugging me.. Anyone with another solution rather than banging the screen, let me know!

the ventilation is really important, the littlest overheating will mess up your back light connections, a friend of mine had the insect-attracted-to-light problem and taped over the holes... his monitor lasted 4 days after that. I'd try putting some bug repellent on a Q-tip (so it doesn't get inside your monitor) and trace over the holes on one side. then blow the air towards the other, the bugs should flee from it. after they are out, place some repellent on the other holes.

[bizarrefruit]

i hate the little gits, there are 3 in my monitor dead and now there are two more live in there today :(. anyone know if you could use a soft blower to blow through the vents?

[cscashby]

Gah, one like this got into my monitor this morning. It's now half way down from centre, dead, and can't be moved.

[sistoviejo]

WOW
