I think this forum is the adequate place for this topic...

Here's what's happening:

When winter comes, some very tiny bugs show up in my house, they are harmless as far as I can tell, and they come when the humidity is high...

Now, I've seen some strolling on the LCD and I just clean them with a cloth (they are very very tiny, the size of a pixel).

Today, when I saw one of those fellows, I went to clean it, and to my amaze, the bugger is inside the LCD!!!
I never realized the LCD had two "layers", this is a Formac 19" Platinum bought in 2006...

I'm probably not going to do anything with the hope that the bug finds its way out...
but who knows if it dies in the middle of the screen, or if it invites its friends "in"?

This is funny ATM, I hope I'm still laughing in two weeks from now...

hahaha, the same thing happened to my core duo imac. I turned my computer on one day and there was a nat or small fly crawling around in my screen. I tried getting him out but I didnt want to void my warranty and disassemble the imacs screen. Eventually he stopped crawling around and died in the lower left corner of the screen. Poor little bug. I was planning on giving it to my brother for a good price anyway. So he got a bug and a nice computer. lol
