There is a bug stuck in my monitor.

Okay, apparently there is a small insect crawling around under the surface of my LCD monitor. I first saw a tiny gray speck meandering about on my desktop, the way bugs do, and I tried to brush it off to no avail. Closer inspection revealed that the bug in question seems to be under the display surface, though I have no idea how it got there. He's tiny - maybe two and a half pixels long, and a little less than a pixel wide. He keeps wandering aimlessly about, and it's driving me insane - it's like a moving dead pixel. Out of boredom, I've been drawing little boxes around him.

I have no idea what to do, if anything other than wait for him to find his way out, but I thought you guys would be interested to know. XD

If you can afford it, get a new monitor and put duct tape around it.

Mush! Mush!
I don't claim to be an expert on this, but wouldn't you pull the case off the monitor and get him to crawl out?
