After a late night session with Nier Automata I went to bed last night, only to wake up this morning and find a freaking fly literally inside my PC monitor. Just back and forth inside the screen. I only see it in dark backgrounds (like GAF's dark theme) and immediately turned everything off and made this topic in hopes that someone may have some tips to get rid of this fucker. I really hope I don't have a permanent resident. So yeah, anyone have any advice?

Wasn't sure if this belongs on this board, so mods feel free to correct me.

Edit: Alright, well clearly guess it's literally the worst day for this topic. Anyway, it's only noticeable on some backgrounds so I guess I'm gonna have to live with it and hope it finds a way out.

Need to get a spider in there.

Good April Fools Prank. Flys don't even exist anymore.

 

[jesu]

Eh, turn it off and spray some Isopropyl Alcohol in there?

Need to get a spider in there.

Logical answer

 

[sleepydeer]

Degauss it.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Lure it out with a piece of shit.


What kind of monitor do you even have? CRT?

 

[Rock Howard]

Kill it with fire.

 

[Yarbskoo]

No pics? April Fools?

 

[kraspkibble]

time for a new monitor.

 

[Abilidebob]

I've got small ants inside 2 different monitors, at least they got out on their own but HOLY FUCK it's annoying to be using your PC and seeing that small fucker just running around and you try to click it but you realize it's real and just brought shame to your family again.

Congratulations, you found one of the secret endings.

 

[Despera]

"Small numbers of flies and insects are a characteristic of LCD screens. These are normal and should not be considered a defect."

Don't shout or everyone will want one.

But then you need a lizard to get the spider.

 

[Hairsplash]

Pictures, or it did not happen.

If you remove the back of your monitor... will you be able to see your hand behind the monitor.?

 

[kadotsu]

I hate it when that happens.

Wish it was an April Fools. Ugh.

What kind of monitor do you even have? CRT?

It's an Asus LCD. Has openings with space for I guess flies.

Congratulations, you found one of the secret endings.

Well, I should've expected this one.

 

[venom473]

Get a new monitor

 

[BigDes]

But then you need a lizard to get the spider.

This is going to end up with us trying to cram a horse in there isn't it?

Sigh

I'll get the saddle

 

[Fisty]

Smash it with a hammer, take out the fly and kill it, then repair your monitor, and... everything is back to normal.

 

[Springy]

You need to play something to swat the fly.
