Cleaning smoke/tobacco smell from monitor

[Ectrizz]

Hi guys, I bought a second hand monitor today from a smoker, I already cleaned the outside from any smoke/tobacco smell. But when I turn it on there seems to come a strong smell of smoke/tobacco from the vents of the monitor. Any way on how to clean it? The monitor is: benq rl2455hm

Hope it dissipates in time? Short of taking the monitor apart and carefully cleaning it that's all you an really do. Monitors can be a pain to take apart, it usually consists of undoing a whole lot of clips and feeling like your going to break it the entire time.

hmm yea i dont think it will dissipate in time, because it's not a gas. it's tobacco tar.
