Dust got under my screen ?!

I just got my 3G 2 weeks ago and I can see dust got under my screen. So basically there a bunch of black dots at the bottom of my screen wich is really anoying when surfing the web or doing anything else. I suppose it's not normal but is there anybody else who had the same issue ?
Thanks

I too got a Iphone 3g that had the dust under the screen. I am a little dismayed that it happened, but what can you do about it other than take it back and exchange it. I love apple and thier products, but when you have so much product being manufactured over in china, and I can only guess this is a result of them not having enough filtration on the air systems, that you are seeing many of the iphones with this. I know I saw two others at the store while there that had similar things. I will go back tomorrow, and the good thing is, apple is generally more than happy to take care of the customer. Its just a slight inconvenience to have to go back down there.

How did dust get under the screen?

I bought a PB used about a month ago and it was in like new shape with the exception of one dead pixel that annoyed me. This is getting picky but now I noticed there is a piece of dust about an inch away from the dead pixel which really annoys me when I see those. I don't understand how a piece of dust got under the screen, I've had my ipod touch for over 2 years, in my lint filled pockets and it doesn't have any dust under the screen, just in the creases of where the glass ends. I've only had the PB a few weeks and when transporting it I have it in the cloth sleeve, and I clean it often, how could it have gotten in there, through the speaker grill? And could I use like an air compressor to blow it out or would that possible cause damage to it. I was going to buy the convertible case and a screen protector soon but still I don't see how that happens. Sorry for the dumb post but it is really annoying and I want to know if anyone else has had that happen or if it dust can be blown out.

Thats too bad. I dont get how its getting under there, Im thinking probably through the speaker grills but I'm not sure, the dead pixel was annoying enough but if any more dust gets under there its going to be really annoying to see all that on the screen. I dont know if the one already in there might move to the edge so its not as noticeable or if it might work its way out over time, if more get under there though Id say the best solution would be to take the glass off, if its even possible on the PB, I dont know that much about them, I heard the battery isnt removable but I think that means user removable meaning a PB dealer could open and replace it. If it can be opened without a professional without scratching anything then maybe just taking the glass off will work but I'd only do that as a last resort. I'm starting to get more and more disappointing with the PB the dust, the battery life isnt what I hoped for it to be, and there are very few good apps. Maybe when the ipad 3 comes out I can get a cheap ipad one to fill in for where the PB lacks

Is the 2G Touch prone to getting dust/lint under the screen?

I have a Contour Showcase, but it tends to get dust/lint beneath the plastic surrounding the edge of the screen; and the dock and headphone jacks are exposed. I keep the Touch in my pocket, so it collects lint. I get paranoid because I had a cellphone once that got so much lint under the screen I couldn't see anything. I tried using a Power Support screen protector, but it attracted even more lint and only covered the screen itself. Is the Touch likely to accumulate dust/lint under the screen?

It can. Mine has a lot of dust inside the unit that has settled on top of the LCD that got in through a gap between the screen and metal on the right hand side of the iPod (also called a light leak, as when it's used in the dark you can see light emitting through said gap).
Apple has refused to acknowledge the problem.

Dust & Lint under touch screen but visable

Anybody getting dust & lint under the screen where you can see it in the backlight but you can't get to it to clean it off?

I am. I just started noticing it this week.
I've had my iPhone 3G since it came out and have always had a screen protector and plastic case on it. When I slide it into my jeans pocket, it goes in head first so the dock connector is always facing up toward the top of my pocket. I usually clean out the dock connector area with a puff of air. I took off the screen protector today to try and clean the dust but to no avail. I have not noticed any issues/problems with the sensitivity of the touch screen
My iPhone case has no dock connector cover. Should I take it to an Apple store to have them look at it. Any one else take their iPhone in?

Dust got under my scr

is there any way i can fix this? i have a zen vision m, and it really bugs me, watching a video, having tons of dust in the middle of my screen.

How can dust get under the screen like this ?

I have a large piece of dust under my screen about an inch up and an inch from either side of the screen.
I use a cover on the rear of my phone, and have a zagg cover for the screen. How on earth can a speck get this far in ? I thought these were pretty much closed units.
Is this something Apple would exchange for ?

A forum search will reveal that several people have reported this and have gotten a replacement.
You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar and they will let you know if they can give a replacement.

Isopropyl Alcohol got under the screen, should I replace it?

I was cleaning my commuter yesterday with Isopropyl Alcohol as one of my mom's co-wokers said it was the way to clean he screen. After this happened I read that constant contact causes an LCD screen to become brittle to the extent it cracks. When should I replace my computer? When it shows sign of cracking or now?

Ok, you used Isopropyl Alcohol on the screen but it hasn't cracked.
But you got some under the screen, meaning you used too much.
Just wait for it to dry, it will eventually.
Alcohol breaks up the human oils that creates smudges on the screen, your supposed to tab a little on a cloth and then wipe the oil away, then use a new clean spot and repeat, removing the oil onto the cloth as the alcohol evaporates fast.
No liquid is to get insdie the machine, especially the built in keyboard.

E72 - Dust/dirt under the screen ?

Hello!
I have the E72-1 and I'm very happy with the phone. Using 022.007 today and I would recommend this phone to a friend.
I have had a few known problems:
pictures missing form the gallery
the D-pad fails intermittently
No indication when the charge is done
battery cover is a joke. Bad fit and to thin
but overall the phone has worked very well.
But now I have another problem that is more annoying.
It looks like there is dirt/dust *under* the screen - I have checked the screen and there
are no marks on the screen surface. I have used the case that comes with the phone
from day one but that has not helped.
How many here has seen this ? or am I the only one...
I can see the dust/dirt clearly when the screen saver is running, it is very annoying.
Cheers,
N. Muntz

Hello,
As I previously had a 5310 "XpressMusic", very prone to dust under the screen, I am constantly watching this point on my 3 months old E72-1 (made in Finland, bought in Paris - France).
I always wear the E72 in jeans/shirt pockets without extra protection, so it is the worst possible situation.
I affirm that after 3 months of heavy usage there is ANY dust under the screen, nor under the camera window.
Under the exact same condition, the camera on the 5310 was almost unusable after 1 month, and its screen was innerly covered by dust after 2 months (but still visible and usable after 2 years, so don't worry).
But if you see too much dust under the screen, your unit could be defective as others (mine) don't have this default.

Dust/Lint under the screen!

Hi, i have a iPod touch 2G, and i use it normally, im not rough with it. For some reason though, i notice that i have a few tiny specs of lint/dust under the bottom of the screen. Is this problem covered by my warranty? I have had it for 3 months. I notice it when im using my ipod in the light without the backlight on.
Could you provide some insight?
Thanks

This is a problem noted in some 2G Touches.
If it's an issue with you, I'd suggest contacting Apple or an Apple Store, especially if you're still under the warranty (and it sounds like you are). This has been noted before from time to time, so it shouldn't be hard to impress the importance of the repair/replacement.
You may not be aware that extremes in temperature or condensation can sometimes cause problems with the interior workings of the Touch.

Will I get a replacement for dust under the screen?...

Hey everyone!
I've had an iPhone since the 3G came out and I've never had any problems with dust. My 3G got replaced by 02 insurance about 5 months ago and I got a new 3GS 16GB. Since then I noticed the odd little bit of dust appearing under the screen. Most of the time I couldn't see it so I didn't really care but now I've noticed a few larger pieces and they're really annoying.
I understand that I should get a 12 month warranty with this and surely it's not meant to happen so I'd expect a replacement. I've searched around and I seem to get mixed answers. The problem is that I'm currently working in Cologne and there are only 3 Apple Stores in Germany (I can't believe it!) and the nearest one is still over 100 miles away.
What do you recommend? Would Apple do anything like post one (I doubt it?) or am I going to just have to wait until I'm near Frankfurt (or even back in London) and book an appointment there. Even then... what are my chances of getting a replacement?
Thanks in advance everyone! Much appreciated

I doubt they will give you a replacement. I know here in the States you can take your iphone to an Apple store and they can replace the screen and charge you $200 for that. But I find it hard to believe they would replace the screen for free just because there are dust particles under the glass. That's just my opinion.

Lint,Dust Under/On Screen ZEN SL

I have a Zen Sleek and it totally ROCKS!! But is got some lint and dust on the actual screen (Not on Cover) I need to know how to get it out or where to bring/send it to get it cleaned. Thanks Guys.

im not sure with the sleek, but with the touch you can blow out dust from under the screen by useing canned air through the headphone jack.

Dust Under The Screen Unsol

Ive done some reading no one as found a solotion to removing dust from under the screen i am starting this up again becuase many ppl havent found there answer please help me and other anyone got answers?

Either blow it out, suck it out, or void your warranty and disassemble your player to physically wipe it away. A can of compressed would probably just inject moisture under your screen, while sucking it out I would guess is next to impossible, but maybe worth a try. If you have a narrow nozzle attachment for your vacuum, carefully place it on one side of the screen along the blue glowing edge. Other than that, your options are rather limited.

Dust under Iphone Screen what do I do?

I currently have a 18gb i phone 3gs and well there is dust particles under the screen and they are not well... making the phone obsolete but they are really annoying and driving me insane I do have a warranty on the phone cause I sent it back like 3 months ago but I was wondering what can be done about this... thanks for the help guys and gals!
By the way im like 300 miles from a apple store

they told me was to take it to a Apple Store so they can blow it out with compressed air
Huh? The screen and digitizer are glued together at the factory. There is absolutely no way an Apple store could do this even if they wanted to. The will replace your phone if determined to be defective.

hello,
I bought 3 weeks ago a BlackBerry Curve 9320 but there is dust that has gottenunder in the screen, there is more and more with time and it bothers me. My phone did not fall and I find thatit is abnormal that dust gets under the screen if the telephne have not suffered from shock.
I am looking for a repair solution.
Thank you for your help
cordially
Chloé Halot

Même problème sous l'écran de mon 9320 (coté gauche, prise USB). C'est très énervant surtout qu'il n'y a pas eu de choc et qu'il y a de plus en plus de poussière qui s'accumule. Y a-t-il une solution que l'on peut faire sois même, ou peut-on faire jouer la garantie constructeur ?
Merci de votre réponse
Same problem on my 9320 Blackberry Device (left side, USB plug). It's very annoying, moreover there were no bump that could cause the problem, and there are more and more dust under the screen. Is there anything I can do ? Or can I send it to repairment ?
Thank you for answering
