Dust in a Touch 2g.

I have an older Touch 2g. It works well but over time some dust has got in between the glass and screen. This is not normally a problem except in bright light when it is annoying. Is it possible to clean this area ie can the touch be 'opened' to clean inside?

Yes. Third-party places like this can do it.

  • 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 in the touch disp

    after a few month I sadly have to recognize there is dust in my display, in the lower left corner.
    it'ss not much and when the light is on it'ss not noticable but i?m frightend that it get worse. anybody the same experience?

    I've got a couple of bits of dust under mine, too.
    Apparently spraying compressed air into the headphone socket sometimes helps - you can buy cans of it meant for cleaning keyboards etc. Personally I haven't tried this, but others say it works.
    Alternati'vely you can open the machine up and clean it off manually, but it's probably not worth voiding the warranty for a little thing like that.

  • Applications starting randomly

    Well, I had hoped the 1.1.4 update would fix that my applications are starting to open randomly. It actually caused me to make a phone call (which I didn't know about) because of that. My last iPhone started doing that in a big way and then it started calling numbers without any input from me. I did a couple restores on that one, then took it to the Genius Bar & they just gave me a new phone which had worked great until recently.
    I'm getting ready to do a restore, but if anyone has any other suggestions - I'm open.
    Thanks

    Hello
    Couple questions I have
    1. Is the iPhone set to turn off within 1 min, If so does it still automatically dial people without your knowledge?
    2. Are you using a Bluetooth Headset at all?
    If might be possible when the Bluetooth is in your pocket or bag that pressure is pressing the call button thus dialing random numbers or random contacts without your knowledge. As far as launching Applications I do not believe the bluetooth headset would do this.
    3. Are you using any other accessories or cases with your iPhone? Might be possible that one of these accessories is causing this. Try not using them for a couple days see if issue still occurs.
    4. Clean the connector on bottom of the iPhone and the head jack, Blowing into it will at times blow out any dust or particles touching the connectors. Do the same with any accessories.
    Next time you do a restore, Setup as new iPhone if you have not done so already. It might be possible that corrupt data from one of your files is causing an issue. Please only setup as new iPhone if your contacts, Calenders, etc are already on the PC/Mac and ready to go back via a Sync.
    Post back if you need further assistance and to report results.

  • How to clean the dust inside the screen of the iPod Touch?

    Hi everybody,
    lately some dust entered inside the screen of my iPod Touch.
    At first it looked like one or two pixels were gone bad, but it is just some annoying dust.
    The problem is that I cannot figure out any way to remove it.
    I tried a gentle blow from the connector hole but the result was worse.
    Any idea on how to clean the screen inside?
    I hope it is not necessary to go to an Apple Center and pay for the "cleaning service".
    Regards,
    Andrea

    It sounds safe to use
    'Falcon's® "Professional" Dust-Off® "XL" compressed-gas is the perfect product for removing dust from your color transparencies before making scans or copy slides; it's also great for removing dust from cameras, lenses, computers and other electronic equipment. Each 12 oz. disposable can comes with its own trigger value and a 4.75" nozzle extension (a red tube) that allows you to place precise bursts of compressed air just where you want it.'
    Check the directions on the back... also check the contents. Normally anything like that will inform you of contaminants harmful to delicate electrical devices.
    If its just compressed air make sure you keep the can well back from the source.. and unplug the G5 (take it somewhere you don't mind dust.. there no point doing this in situe, just for it to suck it back in again!)
    Also.. as mentioned.. keep the can upright (as the air is decompressed the can gets very cold)

  • Dust Inside My iPod touch Screen

    Well, I had bought an 8GB iPod touch for my birthday on April 23, 2009 from Walmart. And about 6 months later I began to notice that there is dust WITHIN my screen. Could it be the sealant? If you have the same problem, or have suggestions, please help.

    It's still under warranty, I'd take it to the Apple Store. It sounds like the rubber seal around the glass may be defective.

  • Particles of dust under the glass of multi-touch screen

    Dear Sir,
    I bought iPhone 3G in HK yesterday. After I opened the box and activated my iPhone, I have found 2 dark spots on the middle of screen. At first, I thought they are dead pixels. However, after taking a look carefully, I think they are particle of dust under the glass of touch screen. How come? from manufacturer process? because I just open it from the box.
    Is there any warranty from Apple cover this problem?
    What is the method you may help me?
    Change the new machine or fix it?
    Is there anything I can do by myself?

    No sir. There is nothing that you can do your best bet is to bring it back to your provider, or if there is a apple store over there bring it back to them. I know that apple will exchange your unit for this issue. It is from the manufacturer process it seems that they do not have a dust free environment. So just exchange it.

  • 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.

  • IPod touch has dust in between Glass and touch screen.

    A few days ago I noticed there were several specs of dust inside my iPod touch screen. As the days have gone by, there are now considerably more, some of which are Very noticeable on bright or white pictures. They are mostly near the bottom which leads me to believe they've come in through the dock connector somehow, but there are some near the top of the display as well. I'm wondering if this is a known issue and whether or not it can be repaired or cleaned. Has anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon Leonard

    Maybe its just that model, or just you guys. Ive have my 8GB for a little over a month and I haven't had a problem like you are describing. Give Apple a call and see what they have to say it about it. Thats just my two cents.

    I got my TOUCH replaced yesterday & I noticed a air bubble or lint cought under my film shild. Would you suggest in taking it off my self or having Apple doing it?
    'film shield'? is that something you've put on it yourself? if it is, I would remove it and either re-apply or leave it without (i messed up putting my screen protector on when i got it, loads of air bubbles, i just took it off and left it, a year later and my ipod is still fine). i dont think apple will do anything with something you have done yourseld.
    xkyesis.
    if it's still under warranty then apple should look at it and fix it without charge.

  • I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

    I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there.  However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually.  Can I still add stuff onto my two devices?  And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only?  Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices?  Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

  • Zen Touch/Dust and Garb

    I don't know how in the world this happened, but when I pulled out my player from my backpack I came to discover that my player had cracker particles INSIDE the screen window! I searched all around my player to find how in the world could cookie and dust particles have found their way inside my player, but all I could see were the USB and headphone jacks. These openings seem a little too small for me to imagine how they could have made it in there. How can I clean it's Will I have to open up my player using the screws?!Message Edited by AmeliaB on -26-2005 07:4 PM

    Try going to the retailer from where you bought the unit (hopefully at a reputed electronics store). They would probably offer the best solution. Good luck. It sounds like a real heartbreaking discovery (I know MY heart would sink if I had that problem.)
