Dust behind display

I noticed a couple specs of dust behind the display. Any body else have this issue?

Yes, my 1st iPhone had a spec of dust right in the middle of the screen which bothered me when I was reading iBooks, etc.
My replacement also has a spec of dust, although VERY tiny and like 99% unnoticeable and it's at the very bottom edge of the phone. I'm keeping this one because I'm afraid of getting another one that has worst specs of dust.
Where are yours? Do they affect your every day use of the phone?

Dust behind display of MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro purchased in August 2006. One day i was changing the desktop background, and i turned it to complete white color. I observed dust particles at bottom, left and right side of display. Can it be cleaned, because when i asked a dealer that if it can be claimed, the answer was no. I have taken some photographs which can be sent on request. Dear Fellows, please help or guide me.

Dismantling the TFT enclosure is possible, however it's not recommended as there's lots and lots of fragile bits that could break! Including the connectors of the TFT itself.
I think, if you really want to remove dust from behind the TFT you'll definitely need to dismantle the TFT module, and that's something even I wouldn't do. Last time I did it, I killed the TFT! Oh man.. a replacement can be soooo expensive!!!

Dust behind display glass

My MacBookPro5,3 15" display has acquired dust speckles BEHIND the glass of the display. So is this common or normal?

I had to go through three 15" Macbook Pros before I got one that didn't have crap behind the screen. Good thing I brought it in before the 14 days, or else I'd be SOL (per Apple "Genius"). I'd bring it in ASAP before apple makes you keep it.

Macbook Pro 13 (mid-2009) dust behind glass

Hi there,
I bought my MBP 13 just 2 weeks ago and while cleaning the glass panel today I discovered dust behind the glass. So there is dust between glass and LCD.
Is this normal? Should I be worried? Should I return my MBP? I mean if it is a common problem I might keep it...
Best wishes.

No I did not personally upgrade the componments. I bought the standard 2.26 13" model with the extra ram and HD space, as a student I got it at a fair price. So it was already assembled when it got to me.

Dust behind screen on n96

my phone has been annoying me lately! the OS is fine, but there now seems to be a build up of dust behind my screen! its quite annoying in day light! im blowing my phone from all sides to see if it moves, but nothing, i sent it to the repairs center to get it sorted and to tighten my phone but they just sent it back with an update, ive emailed them to complain with no reply, so i guess i have to do it myself, the phone jus feels really loose when sliding or when its in the normal mode, is this common?
does any one have solutions to getting the dust removed?

It is thought that dust can get in via the ear piece.
May be get a CP-293 to slow the ingress down.

Dust behind the screen of my zen sleek ph

Hello,?a while ago there started to form dust behind the screen of my zen sleek photo, and it is just increasing there is quite an amount of dust behind it now. I never take my zen sleek photo to dusty places and always treat it carefully. I would like creative to repair this or send me a new one since it's a failure of the device. It's not supposed to be possible that dust comes behind the screen and yet it does. If someone could tell me where i can get it repaired/replaced/or a refund that would be appreciated. regards.

Some Dust behind the LCD

Hi, I seems to be having some dust behind my LCD. I cant clean it. But when I look at it from an angle, I cant see the dust, so I dont think is a dead pixel. Will apple help me clean it up? Or exchange for another screen? Its not like a lot of dust... just like 3 of them.... and its very irritating.
Do you guys think Apple will help me out?

My new MacBook Pro has the same issue... Fortunately it's pretty small (and off to the side), and since everything else is working well, I'm probably going to leave it alone for now...
This is indicative of some sloppy construction though...

Pearl has dust behind the screen

I dont know how it happened, but my pearl has dust behind the screen. Does anyone
know how to remove the screen so I can clean it.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe, If the phone is out of warrantee and/or do don't want to go through the enormous hassle of replacing your blackberry there is another alternative. I have done this several times myself but I would recommend that you be mechanically inclined. Although the surgery is very easy some blackberry models have retention clips that need to be pushed aside with a very smal screw driver like one you would buy for repairing sunglasses etc. I do not have a pearl so I am not much help giving you specifics about that particular phone..
Go to ebay and look for cellular phone repair tools. There are dozens of sellers, just look for a Torx kit. Inside the battery compartment you will find four torx screws that you will need to remove. Once they are removed the back of the phone pops off. Depending on your model the phones sometimes come apart in layers (like the 8700). So after the first layer you may need to remove more torx screws to get inside to the screen. Be careful when splitting the phone apart as small pieces will be loose inside like the volume and push to talk buttons. You will need to careful put these back in place when re-assembling the phone. Once the phone is split apart you should easily be able to clean the screen and the inside from dust. Just use an old tooth brush.
Although this whole procedure is not overly difficult for me, it is not for everyone. So please proceed with caution and under your own risk.
On another note this is the same procedure if your phone ever get water damage. I have a neighbor that thought it was hilarious to throw people into the pool during a drunkin haze (thankfully he stopped drinking...). Twice he did it to me with my phone still firmly attached to my waist. After doing a terrific impression of a Marlin trying to shake a fisherman's hook my phone still had water pouring from it and vibrating like crazy. I immediately took out the battery and took the phone completely apart. I then set all the parts EXCEPT THE LCD and the CLEAR PLASTIC WINDOW on a cookie sheet. All you are trying to do is dry the electronics. Cell phones are all rated for fairly high temperatures in case you were to leave it in the car on a hot summer afternoon. I then set the oven to preheat at 150 degrees. Once it was preheated I turned the oven off and let sit for a minute with the door cracked. Then I put the cookie sheet into the oven and closed the door. I let it sit until the oven had completely cooled down. Re-assembled the phone and presto it worked just fine until the next time he threw me in. If you want to be completely safe you can put the unassembled phone on your car dash which works as well. So long as there is little humidity and good amount of heat but not above 200 degrees.
Good luck...

Dust behind screens.

I have dust behind screen for the second time, on both of my iMacs. First time it was just before expiration of warranty. Now, warranty is gone and I would need to pay several hundreds of EUR for replacement ? Any advise ?

If you still have the case numbers from your warranty, call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275. Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations. Tell them exactly what you stated in your post. See what they can do for you.
GOOD LUCK!
P.S. Apple has a 90 day warranty on their repairs. Are you pass that?

Dust behind screen - price if repaired?

Had my laptop for over 2 years. No applecare. Annoying dust behind screen. I have no Apple Stores near me, so unless you mail it to them I doubt I could have it fixed. But what would the cost be? Anyone know?

Keeping Thunderbolt Display Free of Smudges/Dust Behind Glass

Hello,
My brother has an iMac and he's told me about an issue with air quality and the accumulation of dust/smudges behind the screen glass. From reading the manual that came with my Thunderbolt display I understand that this can be an issue for it as well.
I am in the city, in a high air pollution area. There is a lot of dust. I'd like to prevent this issue before it becomes a problem. Keeping the area surounding the display dust free is obvious but I'm still worried about it. I did not buy this display so it could have smudges behind glass in 2 years.
I think an air filter would be best. Something that is low profile. Anyone know of such a product or has something like this in place?

Hi Clinton,
Thanks for the idea. I have been researching airfilters.. notably smaller desktop airfilters. I read on one of the other forums that the display issue concerns microscopic dust so I'm going to go for a HEPA type air filter, the types people with allergies use.
Incidentally I found one that runs off a the mac USB connector (not that it was on my wish list) but its small and doesn't look bad either. My only reservation is it is sold by a company I'm not familiar with. I can't find the manufacturer and so getting replacement filters down the road may be an issue.

Light Bleed, Stuck Pixels, Small Hair Behind Display Glass

Today I received a new 15 inch MBP as offered as a replacement due to warrantee issues on my previous machine. The first thing I noticed after booting the new machine was significant light leakage coming from the bottom of the display as well as multiple dead pixels (black in color) and some dirt or hairs stuck behind the displays glass. Will I be able to get this new machine swapped just as if it was a new machine? I know I have a brand new warrantee. I emailed the customer care agent I was in contact with but I'm sure I wont hear back till tomorrow. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

hello,
i am aware of cases where apple has replaced computers for things like dust/dirt behind the screen as well as dead pixels and light leaks. the basic thing with getting a machine replaced for these reasons is that it effects basic use of the machine as per the DOA section of the agreement (on the apple site). i think in this case you can say that it effects your basic use of the machine because there are three issue that prevent you from seeing your display clearly.
you could also request a replacement for customer satisfaction reasons if they do not agree that it is DOA and just say that you are not happy with the quality of the unit and that your other unit also had issues.
in order to qualify for a DOA you must report it to apple within 30 days of getting it, so i would call right away and request a replacement.
regards,
polisciguy

Macbook pro Dust behind LCD- is it a common issue ?

Hello… I am a little bit embarassed. I haver a very nice and perfect MBP 15,4" Glossy…
It recently developed a haze gray cloud behind the display… It was an imperfection which developed into a nuissance, since i am a graphics designer and I definitely need a good picture and a perfect screen for working. All went well… I got the display changed 3 weeks ago.
Yesterday I realized that the new display has issues too… It seems like real dust particles are now placed behind the LCD screen. I am not working in dusty environments or something like that.
Is is that Apple Screens aren't sealed anymore that way they were before. I used to use a powerbook 17" for 2 years… in the same way and in the same enviroments… and never had any issue with that. What could be the cause for that? Cheaper production? Lacking QA?
And it seems that only MBP's are affected… I have already searched forums everywhere… and until now iI have found only MBP users who complained on that issue.

I've had dust buildup on the bottom of my screen since May of this year but it never really bothered me enough to do anything about it. Then in September I went to the Apple Store and just asked one of the Geniuses there (without my computer) what might be causing it and what I should do. His response was "oh just get a can of compressed air and blow it out." Which I finally did yesterday, and now all the dust (and hair) that was at the bottom of my screen is now all across the middle of my screen.
So I went to the Apple Store (different one) today and asked what could be done, they said they'd replace it but it would cost $300 because I didn't have Apple Care. Then I was told that I couldn't purchase it because my computer was 14 months old.
Now normally I'm fine with paying for problematic things, but the fact that I wouldn't have had as major a problem if I DIDN'T listen to the 1st Genius' advice. And then if Apple actually made it a point of saying that "Applecare cannot be purchased after 1 year" (the only mention is buried in the FAQ, not even the warranty PDF). Or even if they would accept the fact that the screen is moderately defective for allowing the dust to get in in the first place.
But all those things add up to quite possibly the most frustrating experience with Apple I've ever had. Because if they had just told me in the first place (don't know it with air, get applecare earlier) I wouldn't be writing this now.
