Don't ask me how it got in there...but there's a small piece of hair inside the LCD display, and it's distracting. Any idea how to knock it loose so that I can pull it out?

No, images on the LCD aren't distorted or anything at all. There is just a tiny piece of hair in it like an eyelash. From the start, I thought my LCD was dirty, but I cleaned it several times before realizing it was on the inside.

Said display was replaced for entirely different reasons.
I have a rev B display that has been problem-free.

So I'm guessing there's no way to fix it besides replacing the entire LCD??

GRAH! I don't know how it happened, but I think it's a cat hair.. suddenly appeared in my display today.. (I HOPE it's not a crack, I just got this thing...)
I found this how-to for removing the display (for install/replacement purposes), but it's pretty complicated and I don't feel comfortable voiding my warranty to get a little hair out.
Any suggestions for a better way? (Please?)

The easiest thing to do might be to shake or bump the computer (firmly but gently) to move the hair off the viewable screen area.
The hair is there from manufacturing and got dislodged from wherever it was to now being in sight. Try to reverse the procedure.
