Spider in my RPTV
My wife just called me and said there is a big spider on the inside of my TV. I guess it could be on the mirror or the lens, but most likely on the backside of the screen.
My question is, what should I do? I could try to take it apart and clean it. Let the spider be, what damage can it do? Have someone come clean it?
I have the BB extended warrenty. I am not sure what to do at this point. It is a Sony KP-57WS500. Could I take the back panel off and clean? I doubt I would be able to reach a spider on the screen from the back anyway...
Any helpful hints or opinions would be appreciated.

I had that once too! It really looks weird when you're watching something.
The spider went away. A long time after it did I had the set opened for another reason and didn't find any traces.

I was just assuming with my luck it would make a big web and throw everything off. Maybe if I keep the TV on the light/noise will make it look for someplace else.
