[link to this post]

I have a problem with my monitor, it seems a very small bug (a live one) has gotten in the monitor and crawling around it it.

Any help guys.

Hoover it (after pulling the plug in the wall) is what I would do..

I guess you'll have to take the front off - the bug must be in between the screen, often glass, and the lcd itself.

Is this a thunderfly? I used to have a lot of problems with them in Northants/Cambs area around harvest. They would get everywhere.

Well I've got our hand-held hoover and hoovered the vents, and it seemed to worked. Thanks for that suggestion.

EDIT: I spoken to soon, it's back.

Have you tried pushing it off the screen with the cursor? tongue

Handheld is not powerful enough. If you want to stand any chance you need a powerful vacuum and an appropriate nozzle you can get right into where you need with maximum suction effect. You need to be quick because it will die soon and then there's even less chance of getting it to move.
