HP 2509m white small dot.

So my PC has a little dot that is really small. I know it's not a broken pixel because when I turn off the monitor, my flashlight shows the dot. I think it might be a small crack, and all I know is that I do get a few insects around my computer. Do you think they could crack a LCD like that?

It's possible. It could also be a manufacturing defect all along; recently noticed.

the insects are eating your pc.... get the can of bug spray!

in all seriousness... i doubt that the common moths, flies, silverfish and other common insects drawn to light are going to hurt the screen as i've dealt with them for years without an issue. i would bet more on something actually nicking the screen during cleaning or falling against the screen. it could be that its been like this for a long time or it happened recently without you realizing it.

and the thing is, I don't really want to open my LCD monitor, especially for this very small problem.

I wish I had a high-end camera, so I can take a high quality picture of the problem.

why would you open up your lcd monitor for an exterior problem?

if its a dead pixel (which you said its not) its not going to get fixed if you poke and prod. its there to stay.

if its a scratch then perhaps read a few things peopel wrote about fixing them. its never going to be back to 100% but it could be an improvement.

It's not really noticeable during games. If it gets any bigger, then I'll look into these "google search solutions", or look at some deals on some bigger monitors.
