Literally.

I have a thunderbug on the inside of my laptop screen! I'm hoping it dies somewhere considerate.

How on earth did the bug ger get in there? I thought they were sealed units?

:confused:

    Happened to my brand new 21" Dell screen... we were well worried.
    Crawled out again, fortunately.
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    years ago we had some in the (then new) energy efficient light bulbs these were the ones the size of a small bus but they managed to get inside the outer casing (glass) and then died in the bottom leaving little brown/black greasy stains - nasty!

    A couple of years ago four managed to get it. Three are still there, though luckily they have fallen down to the taskbar.

    It's almost endearing- like a mini on screen pet :)

    Do you think I should feed it?:D
