It's that time of year again folks!

I got one looking like an hyphen, so annoying! Couldn't give the Laptop back, the insurance said it's an act of god! So it is my problem :(

[Jman2704]

You have my Sympathies. I've learnt to live my my little dead thunderfly friend. It's been a constant companion for 2 years now ;)

HAhaha these things are annoying but funny.. i have one now... Why don't they seal these LCDs properly?

[Jman2704]

Presumably if thet sealed them up they'd overheat.

[Jman2704]

Yep, I learned my lesson and as soon as they appeared this year (one week period during harvesting) I boxed all my LCD screens up. I was still a little slow and got two in my screen again but fortunately they crawled out again. It's turning into a yearly battle!.

I pressed the screen, now I have a permanent died bug

That's because Steve Jobs said they aren't allowed in there.

Yea, I have 2 squished medium sized ROACHES inside my screen, and another smaller 1 walking around in it. -.-

[RocketeerRaccoon]

I hate these things, they like to get inside your picture frames and if that wasn't bad enough, they also get into your tv screens and I just happen to have a few stuck in my TV right now. :(

Same problem here....I 'm trying to train it to act like punctuation

I have a resolution to these little bugs, as I noticed I had one a few days ago...

Turn your laptop off and put it in a pitch black place in your house for a couple of days.. The bugs live on light and will leave the laptop if left un-used for a few days.. I covered mine with blankets on my dining room table for only 24 hours and I haven't seen him anymore.. Let's hope this works..

Just turn the laptop off and opened..

[DavidElfedThomas]

I have had this happen to Toshiba, Dell, Sony screens. I have an Apple MacBook Pro, my daughters have one each and I have an Apple desktop. Thunderflies have never got into these screens.

As far as I am concerned, another reason to buy Apple hardware.

I too have this bug in my Dell LCD display. Just one. It is as one user said. Harvesting time for the fields. So I did what a website said. Turn off the display and put a lamp near the edge. I'm trying that now to see if the bug will leave.
