Problem

This summer my flat was "attacked" by hundreds of tiny thunderflies, some of which managed to get behind the screen of my LCD. A few of the cursed creatures went and died right in the middle of the display: And yes, this is real. Imagine my surprise when I saw one of these things crawling across the monitor, tried to swat the thing and realized it was inside! How do I go about removing them? I have tried tapping the screen and shaking it but to no avail. They are very annoying to look at because they look like groups of dead pixels, or even ( ) characters.

Fix for: Removing dead thunderflies stuck inside an LCD monitor

Low Risk

I'll give a try :) if your monitor external layer is plastic, (for big LCD screens I think its plastic and it's just for protection) get one of those suction cups, stick it on the screen where there is a Thunderflies, then pull it softly to make a little space between the two layer so that thing will have some space to move now, tap the screen or shake it and they will throw at the bottom of the screen. hope it work for you. :)
