Now when I booted up my PC it is seen that something is crawling on the LCD screen. On closer inspection it is found to be two small ants. When I tried to remove them using a small piece of paper it was found that they are not on the screen but behind the screen or may be behind its outer layer. They stop for some time and then again crawl. What to do?

If they die there, each will be worse than a dead pixel or the formic acid in them may cause even more problems.

What are the ants doin there? :shock: I guess they came for pixel inspection. Don't worry much. Poor little pair of ants. :)
They may crawl on the screen becoz of presence of light. Just switch off the monitor for sometime. Doing so they may find the way outside.

R they real?

If they r... blow them out. See where there is a chance of entry.

i dont think it is possible for ants to get between the pixels and the glass. not possible as a lcd is sealed from all sides

When I was in school there was a classmate of mine from whose eyes ants came out, it was even covered a newspaper. Actually an ant had somehow laid eggs in his eyes. I am also sure because my mother was my class teacher and she remembers almost all of her students, including me :)

They were real and I shut down the PC thinking that it may go once the light is gone( as now I see Kiran had suggested). Unfortunately when I booted up now, one is gone and the other is still and seems to have expired. And its size has become somewhat smaller, may be it has shrunken. And sadly it is almost in the middle.
And I forgot to mention, the table was full of ants when this happened.

Oh! One ant at center of LCD? I think it committed suicide becoz its partner ran away from there! :-D

Okkk..Did you blow it out? You should be very care full while using Vaccum cleaner. See that the pressure is not so high else it may damage inner PCB layouts.
