[pcomac]

so im working with my MBP on my desk and out of no where this bug flew down and just dropped i think it died. it was small so i was trying to blow it off cus i didnt want to touch it. but it fell into the mbp through the black rectangle area the is under where it says macbook pro. im freaking out. the mbp heats up so what if a fire starts???? how can i get it out without opening the mbp? the bug is about the size of a rice.

Call Orkin?

Really, I think you're ok. Let the critter R.I.P.

back there are the exhaust vents so using the vacuum could "aspire it".
Play with the gravity and it will come out.
Or get some tools from ifixit.com, open it up and remove the bug.

A fire starts?

A FIRE STARTS?

LOL

P.S. Did it occur to you that if the bug fell in, it could like ya know... fall out? Turn your laptop upside down and shake!

I would give it a shot and start shaking it. Better than letting the bug inside your computer decay.

LOL a real bug,thought you meant some kinda software bug

LOL @ the fire. Some people's imaginations on this site, I swear.

When I went to stay at my cousins' flat in Singapore with my old MacBook Pro, a few ants crawled inside the vents and were never seen again. Didn't cause any problems and certainly didn't catch fire, and the old design gets a lot hotter than these new ones.

Relax!

FIRE! FIRE! you need to return your MBP NOW! or your house will burn down... your choice

I've seen dozens of dead bugs in my PCs. Don't worry about it.
