I am at this moment watching a tiny little bug crawl around the inside of my LCD screen. 8O

Has anyone ever had this happen before, and what to do besides taking it apart? I notice the screen pushes in a bit if I put my finger on it, can I squash it like this or risk breaking something?

haha thats great! i would risk squishing it cuz it takes a lot to damage a LCD. But wouldn't punch it... i crcked the inside of mine doing that and now it has a big white block on 1 side of it so i need a new 1 xD

But yer.. squish it.. but that is so cool!

thats hard to explain....apparently the female lcd bug deposited her eggs within the pixels during assembly, after which the hatching larve fed on the crunchy liquid crystals while they matured to adulthood. needless to say, image quality should suffer.

i didnt think it could be done but sumhow u made this topic turn slightly boring =<

Anyway dude, take i back and get it looked at.

then my advice would be not to squish it. let it crawl out of sight and die. otherwise it might smear the screen. if it does die on screen, a few shakes might drop it down later.

Squishing the bug will mean, instead of having one crawl around until death, you will have a crunchy bug smear in your vision that you can never clean off.

Kewl. I have one of these pets now. He's deffinately an arachnid . At first I thought it was a virus or someone playing a joke on me. After a few hours of him hiding around the edges and only coming out sometimes, I finally was able to catch him in the middle of the screen. Only then was I able to determine he was real by my tapping on the screen affecing which way he would go. Then after realizing it was alive and a freak out moment, I hit the screen pretty hard. This caused his silhouette to get less sharp. It appears he was on the other side of the void so his legs were facing away from me. Before his legs must have been facing me, hence he was closer to the translucent ?crystals? and his image more sharp. It's pretty cool he has been hiding out and going to different areas of the sceen. He seems, to prefer the light areas when the screen is mostly dark.

It will be fun if he stays. Over the holiday, I might build a maze and see if he stays in the darker areas. I would probably need to build it from light to dark with bright white edges or walls so he would continue in the right direction. Anyhow, back to work.
