ARGH!! Insects in my monitor!!?

I had a thunder fly inside my LCD screen. I kept the screen off for most of 2 days so I wouldn't fry the critter, but kept the screen pointing to the light - sideways on, so I hoped he would crawl that way.

After 2-3 days, I turned on the screen, and he had stopped crawling, so I GENTLY tapped the top of the screen and the dead fly dropped out of sight. I assume he's still in there somewhere, but I don't see him, and he is slowly turning to dust.

You do need to open it, but don't worry about "liquid inside". If you're confident enough, you can undo the casing until you get to the screen section. Usually, it's like a sandwich with a clear sheet on the top, the lcd in the middle and the back light at the back, all held together in a metal frame.

Be careful, there are lots of thin wires just waiting to be torn.

If you don't feel that confident, take it to a repair place. It shouldn't cost too much.

dude u gotta buy a new monitor

coz the only way to remove these insects is to open th LCD

and if u open it once u can never put it back on ur own

becoz there is a liquid inside........and it will get damaged

so BUY A NEW MONITOR

Do NOT take it apart yourself. You need special tools and specialised knowledge to do so.

Take it to a proper workshop and let them do it. It might cost a couple of bob but at least you wont damage it doing so.

Close the window, don't store dead bodies near you, your smelly, your screen is smelly, don't leave to window open at night while on the pc...... I could go on but no.

think about how you are going to prevent it from happening again

before buying a new moniter.

use a vaccum cleaner

use a deo.....
