    I have some dust brush inside LCD panel too. Leave it as it is, sooner or later it'll die and fall down the screen. ;)
    I tried to open LCD package panel to clean it, but it is sealed to strong.

    I don't get it, there is no space between the lcd and the protective first layer, so how can possible a bug be inside? Is ti crawling among the crystals?????

    I find this very interesting, take a pic and post it.

    There is a gap between crystals and backlight. Wirelessman, study your math more often. ;)

    The bug has to be extremely small to penetrate the screen in between the crystals and backlight, so small that you wouldn't even see it, study your physics ;)

    i don't really think thats a physics issue. Its more like a shadow of a bug. A sillhouette i think is teh proper word. I haven't seen it since last night so i don't think it is there anymore

    If you can see a dead pixel you can see a moving bug on your screen. What's worse is if you see a dead (squished) bug. Because no matter how many colors you try and flash on screen, it's not becoming un-stuck.

    Even worse is a dead (squished) deer on your LCD. Not only does it make a mess but try explaining that to your insurance company:

    "I swear: I was just gaming in my bedroom and then that deer ran across and crashed into my LCD."
