  The trick is to send a spider in after it, then a frog after the spider, heron after the frog, etc.

      I think I remember some kids’ rhyme about an old lady who swallowed a fly…?

  Is it even possible to get it out without taking it apart?

    I doubt it. I don’t want to mess up my one good panel trying:(

  If it simply died (and didn’t squish it like I did on mine) you can get something with a small suction cup (about an inch in diameter), place it over the area with the gnat, and then GENTLY tug to show it to fall down.

    I’m willing to try that. However, if I break the panel, I’ll be shopping for a new one as this is the only working display I’ve got.

      If you’re able to tug hard enough to break the panel with a little suction cup then I don’t know what to tell you.

  My father had one crawling inside his laptop’s display for several days. It was really annoying.

  blow compressed air into random openings until you see it move a little or just violently rattle the monitor until it falls out

  I didn’t even know there was a void somewhere inside.

  I accidentally squished a gnat in a similar spot in a monitor at work once.
