I have a spider stuck between the back light and the LCD layers

[Vishera]

Is there anything that i can do?

The spider blocks a bit of the back light so i can see it's shadow.

It was running around for a few hours but seems like it died in one of the corners.

I doubt it'll do any damage, perhaps it'll just find it's way out in time.

It won't be dead.  It'll be waiting until you go to sleep so it can...

Spoiler

crawl out and play some Super Mario Odyssey

Is it worth the risk? Depends how good you are with taking things apart. 

 

Depending on the exact monitor, it may vary. But it sounds like for yours, all you'd have to do is remove the back cover, possibly the PSU if it is internal, and you'll get access to the backlight, but again this will vary. It has been awhile since I have done work on my monitors, but generally speaking, it isn't hard to take them apart. It is usually significantly harder to fix broken parts in them due to lack of parts being available.

 

If you gave us the model of monitor, we might be able to locate a teardown. Not super likely, but worth a shot. 

 

But I wouldn't take it apart unless you know it was a spider. It sounds like you are confident it is, since it was moving.

I am 100% certain it's a spider,I can clearly see the shadow of the legs,and it's bigger than an ant.

It was running across the display just a few hours ago,but i think it's dead now.

Give it a name. It probably laid eggs in there. Expect to see several hundred little ones soon. Congrats :)

Well, I'd wait until/if you give your computer a thorough clean and just get it out then.

It's not inside the PC - It's inside the monitor.

I am going to go out on a limb and say your only option would be to take apart the monitor. I am not familiar enough with the monitor itself nor it's tech. But if I had to imagine, it wouldn't be all that hard to remove the back panel, psu, main board, etc. Which would give you access to the backlight. I assume by the thickness of the display and the fact there is a spider in it, that the backlight is likely far behind the actual display, and not apart of the display assembly. If this is the case, you won't have to remove the display itself, just the back cover(s) of the display and then lift up whatever backlight assembly there may be; sometimes a white reflective cover, sometimes probably something else I have never seen before, it just depends

 

It has been awhile since I have done worth with removing displays, but generally speaking it would be pretty easy on an older display. I am just not sure if yours is old enough. I want to say it is, but again, I can't find enough info on it to say for sure. So as a caution, I would just like to remind you that you may not actually get access to the backlight and if you do it may require display removal which can cause damage. So if you choose to do this, it is at your own risk. 

 

Otherwise, buy a new monitor.

It takes 5 or X Spyders to calibrate a display.

Yes, my mistake.
