Idk how it happened also.
Two ants entered my monitor and died in the middle.

Any where to repair around Kepong area or is it not worth it?

It's just a normal monitor, I didn't see any gaps to enter from also.

I face this issue before in ViewSonic VX3209-2K monitor where I just purchase that time in year 2017 and not even a month, and very thanks ViewSonic HQ at Taiwan call me and proceed with full refund.
Original ViewSonic Malaysia want to charge me money for clean up, lucky and very thanks ViewSonic HQ Taiwan did it professional and asking me whether get a new set (different similar model) or full refund.

After that incident, I notice ViewSonic discontinue that model, it is good they discontinue it as that model design really got flaw, the ants go inside the monitor twice in my unit that time.

I don't think it is easier to come out as it already dead and stuck, I think need professional clean up process.

In my case, a Sony LED TV, Sony charges RM150 (servicing and labor fees are listed on their website) to remove the dead bug...but I ended up replacing the whole screen LOL dry.gif
