    Dang buggy computer!

    I can't believe this: there is a near-microscopic insect crawling under my laptop display. The darn thing can't be even a millimeter in length. At first, I thought it was a dead pixel or maybe a piece of lint on the screen, but then it started crawling. I now realize it's under the display, yet on top of the reflective surface behind my display. It's really quite distracting. I hope it crawls out of the display before it dies. I wonder if Dell's warranty covers something like this?

    Well, sure - it's a verifiable bug. They have to fix it!

    That's a real bug. I don't think Dell is going to do anything about it though.

    just open the cover and take it out... If you go to Dell's website they have instructions on how to disassemble the case..

    Be careful, its a dreaded red bug from Inida. If it gets out, it will multiply in strength, size, and numbers until it carries away all local jobs back to its nest.
