Dead ant in my monitor... what do I do now?

[Aj_10_]

Yeah so there's a dead an in my monitor in the middle of the screen and I can't do anything about it. I've tried tapping and wiggling the monitor to get it to at least fall but even that didnt work. Any instructions on how to take the monitor apart? It's the Acer z35 and it's already out of warranty and there's no one within an hour of me that can fix it.

Have you tried a can of compressed air?

I have a can, where do I spray?

Find an opening on the display enclosure. Use the tube (comes with most cans of compressed air) to concentrate the blast of air. Since the inside of the display has little room, the movement of air may dislodge the ant.

My monitor, a few years ago:

I named him Spot.
