Hello, is it possible to send my laptop to the service center so they can clean my screen (I have 2 little bugs clearly visible on the screen, which is annoying). Then my father paid the "modest sum" of €200 for a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, and I've had it for a year and a half, so it would be a shame to lose the warranty by opening it...

Thank you for replying! ;)

what kind of "insect" is that???  -- Chouba, Assault Pochard ..

Jeff · Answer

I imagine he's dead? Not the pixel, huh... the insect :-) -- Jeff - Wm@Ccm -

Hi,
If you recently bought the screen from LDLC, you might want to reach out to their customer service... otherwise, you can always unscrew the covers and try to fix it yourself, but... then you'll void the warranty on your device!!!

Pidza · Answer

yeah he's dead, he's not very big, just a few mm, but it's annoying.

I don't think my screen is still under warranty, I'm going to try the vacuum first through the air vents, otherwise I'll try to unscrew and open my screen, we'll see, I'll keep you updated...

choubaka · Answer

Oh, so it's actually a real critter????  -- Chouba, Assault Pochard..

Pidza · Answer

Well, I was playing Call of Duty 2 and I saw something moving on the screen, I tried to swipe it away with my finger and after half a second of thinking, I said to myself... damn.

Jeff · Answer

Here, I have an idea. You can find small aerosol cans called "compressed air duster" everywhere, with that you can easily blow the pest away! -- Jeff - Wm@Ccm -

Pidza · Answer

But where do I blow? Because I've tried the vacuum cleaner and nothing.

Hello, I have the same problem but I have 3 stuck under the slab and mine are moving too, so I'm going to check the warranty, otherwise I think I will have to take apart my screen because if there's a nest inside!

Baltazar · Answer

The same: this morning I'm all happy, I get up and there it is: horror, a dirty little bug is covering 5 pixels for me.
But I wonder: isn't a screen supposed to be vacuum sealed to work properly? Because it's not if our insects managed to get in...

Help please!!

Baltazar · Answer

Oh yes, I forgot to mention: it's a portable computer screen, and there are no ventilation slots ^^'

zejordan · Answer

Hello, I have the problem that a bug has gotten into the screen of my FUJITSU-SIEMENS laptop. The bug (about the size of a computer mouse tail) moves gradually.

I’ve noticed this bug for 2 days and it has moved from the left side of the screen to the right side, plus it wiggles in all directions. It goes in all directions.

It’s annoying because when I’m playing on the computer or writing a report, this bug is always there! I’ve turned off the screen but I can still see it. Please, can someone help me? Thank you.

mister mag · Answer

Well, me too!!! A "storm" beast... a little thing that's wandering around in my HP! Are they messing with us with the LCDs or what!!! I hope a bomb will be enough to chase it away... or that it will just leave on its own!

Salocin56 · Answer

Same insect problem.....on my Acer screen (X192W), I have a dead insect in my field of vision! HELP!

Laurent81 · Answer

Thank you for being compassionate.
Unfortunately, mine will never come out on its own.
Sometimes I get tricked depending on where it lands on the open document, and it gives me a bar on the "c" that I then mistake for a "q" for example.
Otherwise, I almost manage to forget it.
Ciao

There is also an insect in my computer (well, my father's, mine is intact... for now). The little creature measures barely one or two millimeters and is wandering all over the screen. I was just wondering if it was a real insect and would eventually die, and since it's small, it's not too bothersome, or if it could be a virus... an insect that would be roaming around to destroy programs... I don't know much about it, so I'm asking!

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem with "storm bugs." I tried a lot of things including compressed air, the vacuum cleaner, etc... but nothing worked. I then removed the cover located at the back of the screen, put the smallest nozzle on the vacuum, and slid it along the panel to create a depression, and it worked. To avoid this type of problem in the future, I applied a long-lasting insecticide (they claim effectiveness for 6 months on the aerosol) before reattaching the cover. I hope that's enough to keep any intruders away.
PS: my screen was no longer under warranty, but I didn't see anything that might indicate it had been opened.

mistermag · Answer

I'm not sure the insecticide is effective... even worse.

These storm bugs are carried by air currents... so whether there’s insecticide or not, once the bug gets onto your LCD, it has time to enter and surely die if we use insecticide. My bug entered, disappeared, then came back (or another one, and finally it disappeared again (or dead on one side).

Anyway, if luck isn't on your side, you'll have to disassemble and use the vacuum technique... but the insecticide seems superfluous to me.

Hello, I have some dust under the screen of my monitor, but while flirting on MSN tonight ^^ I had the incredible surprise of seeing a creature about 1 cm long and 2 to 3 mm wide come out of my screen... anyway, quite a scary experience.

Good luck to you,

Fabricius

PS: The machine is a laptop, it's a MacBook Pro...

Hello everyone, so here's my problem: I have a dead insect inside my screen and it's red!! And the worst part is I don't know if it's actually in the screen or not; it's those black bastards that I squished when I closed my screen!!!! I'm on a 17.4" laptop
Well, it's okay as long as it's not in the middle of the screen, but I want to get rid of that red thing!!! So how do I do that?
I'm on a Dell Studio 17 laptop.

coray2 · Answer

I only have one piece of advice: if your insect is alive, I suggest using a white screen for 10 minutes. It makes them leave. If that doesn't work, annoy them with the mouse pointer to get them moving. If they're dead... I recommend calling a specialist.

It's still crazy that such tiny little creatures can be so irritating.

CapitainPrice · Answer

Well, for my case, it's a dead insect!!!

laurent81 · Answer

Hello, Apparently, this happens every year with the stormy season. For my part, I now have a good twenty bugs on my 19-inch Hanns screen that I use as an extended desktop for my laptop. It sucks, but aside from white documents, it doesn't actually disrupt things that much. And anyway, once they're there, it seems like there's not much to be done. So prevention, but what? Insecticide on the edges, sealing the screen frame with clear silicone, any other suggestions welcomed??? Laurent

KevMols · Answer

I just read all your comments, however my new pet that roams around my screen seems to like it... Quite annoying.

-toooom;p- · Answer

aaahhhh personally I don't have any bugs on my screen but I'm really interested in your comments. just kidding but I recommend customer service. well that's what I would do because I don't know much about it. well good luck with your struggle.

Ombre · Answer

I had the same problem, stormy weather, and a little critter died behind the screen... I completely disassembled it, it took quite a bit of time, you need fine pliers to remove some hard-to-reach cables, a cross screwdriver for the screws, and a flat screwdriver to act as a "pry bar" sometimes to remove certain clipped parts, and a cotton swab for the critter.  In the end, the screen is back to how it was, but you have to do a bit of tinkering and not be afraid of breaking anything.

CapitainPrice · Answer

Well, it doesn't matter in the end; it's gross, but whatever... I don't want to break my screen, especially since I'm on a laptop.

cymru · Answer

To solve this problem, I turn off the PC; when the screen goes black, I place a very bright lamp at the back near the ventilation openings, and the insects come out. Then I spray a layer of insecticide for crawling insects on the openings (high and low).

lalachanel · Answer

Hello, I have the same problem as you, but the critter is dead and in the built-in webcam of my laptop... how do I get it to fall out?? :)

laurent81 · Answer

Apart from the cymru solution (July 28, 2010), if the animal is still alive, you will keep your critter until your camera (or screen, same) dies. Laurent

Nenzo95 · Answer

So no one has a solution because there are dead pixels on my screens (one on my computer screen for 5 years, one on my laptop for 1 year, and one on my TV since today) they are all dead, how do I get rid of them????
