Dead fly on inside of TV screen...help!
 
so i have this little fly on the inside of my small 32" Sony HD TV. i am now fixated on this little dot in the middle of my tv in the mancave.

Any easy way to get rid of?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is an old CRT, accept it or replace it. Death by electricity is messy, don't burden your family with that.

If a flat panel, there are usually a couple layers to the screen. If the fly can get in, they must be separated a bit or something, happens all the time with my computer monitors (kids). You ought to be able to shoot air from the top/bottom/side somehow.

This was my thinking, of course, I don't do much of it.

looks liked a smushed fly. either way, the air didn't work.

Maybe you can chat up a local shop for a quick screen separation and cleaning for a few bucks. See if they'll charge you $20 or something.
