I can’t get it out.
Ugh I hate when people post a photo of their monitor rather than post a screenshot.
Ugh, gnat died right in the middle of my framebuffer
The OG “bug”
God dammit! I was going to say that! Hahahahahahaha
Return it as it was shipped with a hardware bug.
Hahahaha
The trick is to send a spider in after it, then a frog after the spider, heron after the frog, etc.
Perhaps She’ll Die!
What is this from ? I remember a recording for kids when I was baby with a story like this, but it was in french.
I’ve tried to find it again but to no availI think I remember some kids’ rhyme about an old lady who swallowed a fly…?
Edit: this one
It’s not the exact same scenario, but it’s close.
In French it’s a similar list of animals, but it’s sitting on your lap, so “you” pick up the phone and call your friend the spider to come eat the fly.
Thanks, maybe from this I can find the french version
makes me think of charlie in the “cat in the wall” episode of iasip
I recently bought a new TV that came with a dead ant inside the screen. Thankfully, BestBuy is pretty good about returns and I had noticed it right away, so I brought it back the next day for an exchange. In the time it took me to pick out a replacement, they had wrapped the first one in multiple layers of plastic and labeled it as “infested”.
I’m sure enough people bring in electronics filled with roaches or bed bugs that they no longer take any chance when they see even one bug.
Oh yeah I’m sure, and just to be clear, I did tell them there was an ant in the screen and that’s why I was returning it.
Well it ain’t a pixel, but it sure us dead
Is it even possible to get it out without taking it apart?
I doubt it. I don’t want to mess up my one good panel trying:(
I had an LG Tv and was able to open and separate the LCD from the panel to clean it but I guess it depends on your specific model.
If it simply died (and didn’t squish it like I did on mine) you can get something with a small suction cup (about an inch in diameter), place it over the area with the gnat, and then GENTLY tug to show it to fall down.
I’m willing to try that. However, if I break the panel, I’ll be shopping for a new one as this is the only working display I’ve got.
Do you have any of the reusable ziplock bags that come with a hand pump? I’ll bet that little pump would be gentle enough to do the trick.
Not on hand. I could pick some up this afternoon and try that. Thanks!
If you’re able to tug hard enough to break the panel with a little suction cup then I don’t know what to tell you.
Don’t tell, listen. Dude clearly knows the best suction cup supplier.
Hire a tiny spider? 🤣
Then you’ll have to send in a bird to catch the spider and next thing you know there’s an entire horse stuck in the monitor
Next find a bird
Free crosshair for hardcore shooters!
I hear that 🫠
My father had one crawling inside his laptop’s display for several days. It was really annoying.
I keep scrolling by this post thinking it’s a blurred NSFW image. I’m disappointed each time.
Just a picture of a small insect, I’m afraid.
blow compressed air into random openings until you see it move a little or just violently rattle the monitor until it falls out
Natural reticule
I didn’t even know there was a void somewhere inside.
some monitors have a plastic screen in front of the LCD to protect the LCD from damage, as its far eaiser to replace the plastic layer than the LCD layer.
