    jeez, thats harsh. Can you not take it apart yourself and have a go at getting them out, or is it still under warranty?

    Seal all those pesky air holes!

    AFAIK the best way to get the dead ones out is to take the screen apart. The only other thing I can think of is compressed air, but frankly, I don't like spraying that crap on any parts of my PC.

    Thank you for reminding me!

    My parents house backs onto a corn field and the house get's infested with these little buggers every year. My PC monitor is full of them and I've had to send two laptops back to apple to have them removed from the screen.

    They'd land on your skin and make you walk all over you which tickles.

    They are even more annoying than wasps.
