OT: Computer Bug
 
There is a little teeny tiny bug inside my Dell 20" LCD monitor that keeps walking around. Like those little ones you find in old windowsills and such. I thought it was a joke part of this Pelican site, but NO!

It's about as big as this: .

Shoot it.

You will need two things to get that little fu$ker...

1. Can of gas
2. Match

Happy hunting.

Should die soon.

Kristian's is bigger than yours, ck.

ckcarr 03-30-2008 07:38 AM

Mine did just die, but in a very noticable place...

That's exactly what it was doing Kristian!

Bummer. It won't drop down if you tap the screen from the side? Should be repairable, I would think.

ckcarr 03-30-2008 07:51 AM

Being that it got between the real LCD and the screen I'd think I could take it apart and clean it. Unless it's glued at the factory. Haven't looked yet.

Get some ants... they can crawl in there and eat the carcass.

Steve Carlton 03-30-2008 07:54 AM

Who eats the ants?

Mmmmm, myrmecophagous! You can eat those yourself, Craig.

I thought I got rid of it, shook the monitor all over, upside down etc. Then it was gone. But looks like he was just stuck. Now he's walking all over again!
