Dust inside the Microphoto scr

I bought the microphoto and noticed a dust spec under the screen. I thought it was a stuck pixel because the LED lights illuminate it and it glows but you can only see it when the screen is blank. I set the contrast way down and can see that it is superimpossed over the screen so it's definately dust. Now I see there is more in there but it's not glowing.
Is this a common problem?
I bought it from Cambridge Soundworks and tried to swap it but guess what? The store packed up and closed 4 days after my purchase, now the closest store is an hour dri've from me. Trying to see if it's worth the dri've or am I going to just get more dust.

I get this problem with my Zen Sleek Photo too, it's really f...ing annoying
I have only had the player since Christmas and there are already about 6 moderately-sized blobs of dust...
It distracts me and looks very bad when you have the screen off, it is also a bit hard to read some text now because of this, the dust covers the words *sob*
Can somebody please give us some suggestions, what can you do to get rid of it's If it carries on like this I won't be able to see anything in 2 months -_-
The Sleek Photo is rather badly sealed, but I'm not sure how the dust can get in:S

    If it's still covered by Apple's warranty, Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • 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 the screen of my Qosmio G20-136

    Hi,
    I have a weird problem on my Qosmio G20-136, there are 2 spots of dust inside, and recently a very small insect manages to get between the LCD on the protective sheet. I can assure you I though I was mad watching the insect moving without being able to do anything.
    Am I the only one with such issue ? How can I contact TOSHIBA, to understand what's wrong with the isolation of the laptop ? The laptop is only moving in the flat !
    I try to get contact with Toshiba FR, but all the answers I have is a expensive phone number. For the price of such a PC, they could at least provide email or chat support !
    Is someone from Toshiba is reading, I would appreciate to get a contact.
    email : toshiba AT tykhan.net

    Yes, that would be the best, contact a local servicepartner and let them check your machine because its sensless to shout here while doing nothing.
    Just check this link to find the nearest authorized service partner:

  • Dust *inside* the LCD screen?

    Hi folks, when I shut down my Late 2008 15.4" MBP, I notice there is an increasing amount of dust under the glossy plastic surface, but on top of the actual LCD screen - between the two layers.
    When I turn the machine on, I don't see it, but I'm afraid over time its going to get worse and eventually be visible when the machine is turned on.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have exactly the same problem and mine is a early 2008 model. Two months ago, there were only 2 dots and now I can see almost a dozen. Some look like dust, some look like fungus.
    Did you have the problem solve? and how?

  • Brand new Canon 5d mark ii has dust inside of the LCD screen.. !!!

    Hello guys. I just received Canon 5d mark ii + 24-105mm lens kit in the mail couple of days ago. It's an amazing camera that will help to improve my work. I didn't want to use the camera until I received the screen protector and the UV filter to make sure that the camera is well protected.  (My previous SLR ended up having so many scratches on the LCD screen)
    So today I received the screen protector. I was cleaning the Lcd screen to install the protector and I realized that there is a dust inside of the LCD screen. I didn't even use the camera more than to see if it functions right. It's totally visible. 
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem with their brand new camera ?!?! 
    I know there is an option to exchange the camera since it's in the return/exchange period but I really don't have time for this. I have photo shoots coming up and I really can't be without my camera more than couple of days. Unfortunately they don't have the kit in any of Bestbuy location in Los Angeles area that I can go in and exchange.  They will ask me to return the camera kit to a Bestbuy location and wait for them to credit my Bestbuy card (which will take 3-4 days - and i don't have enough credit limit to buy another one right away and be patient for them to give me my money back ) and replace an order online again.
    Any advice appreciated...
    Thanks  

    First of all. Thank you for your reply. I actually realized couple of other things that made me suspicios that this camera was used before. Of course i might be wrong however - the package shipped from Bestbuy Return center + loose diopter adjuster knob before than even touching it + having dust inside the lcd screen + hair and dust inside the lens - made me really uncomfortable keeping this camera.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Best Buy. I've been shopping from Best Buy for years. I have been purchasing many things every year and I really do trust them.  That's the reason why i didn't mind to have Greek Squad 3 years extended waranty package with my purchase. However spending almost $3500 for a top of the line camera and not having it flawless from the first day made me a little disappointed. That's all.. 
    I will be going to Best Buy later today and return the camera. I am just hoping that they can refund the money to my card in couple of days so i can place an order for a new one. Even better if i can return the camera and they can place an order from the store for me.. 
    Thank you so much for your reply again... 

  • Dust inside Screen, any experiences (and my story)?

    I have a late 06 17" MBP that has exhibited dust inside the screen for about 6 months now. I haven't had a good time to take it into the apple store until yesterday (since I knew it would have to be sent off and I'd be without for a week or so). I know its dust and not dead pixels because of the fact that when it first happened, if I closed the screen and walked around with it in my bag, the spots would have moved when I reopened, some would appear farther up the screen, some closer to the bottom, and maybe sometimes 1 or 2 of them would disappear. All in all when I took it in, I had about 20 or so spots that make looking for dust in my Canon 1Ds pics, a frustrating practice at best.
    So anyway, I make an appointment and speak to a Genius, he sees the issue clearly, and of course says he'll have to send it off, but tells me that they may not cover this and call me with a quote to replace the screen, but he'll write it up as if its covered and see if they come back with something different.
    What I don't get is how this could not be covered. I've owned several laptops, for years, 2 dells, an IBM, a 17" sony vaio, 2 gateways, a toshiba, etc, etc, etc, pretty much all laptops for the past 10 years in my house. NONE of these have ever done this, all obviously in the same environment. How could this not be a defect thats covered under my apple care agreement (expires 1 year from this December)? But I'm getting ahead of myself, as far as I know at this time, it will be covered, but I will keep this thread up to date.
    Here is what the Genius wrote down for my order:
    A. Customer Issue(s): Small dark spots at the bottom middle of screen
    B. Steps to Reproduce: Verified at the bar
    C. Troubleshooting: N/A
    D. Time to failure: N/A
    E. Unsuccessful Fixes Attempted: N/A
    F. Cosmetic Condition at Genius Bar: Slight dent on back left corner and screen does not sit flush
    G. CS Code Number: N/A
    H. Configuration: MBPRO 17/2.33/2G/160/256VRAM/SD-DL (even though I have 3gb in it, but not from the store that way)
    I. Password: N/A
    J. UserName: N/A
    K. Known Liquid Damage(Y/N): None evident
    L. Other Notes: N/A
    I know I've seen other posts about this dust inside screen issue, has anyone ever been denied a repair for this while under warranty?
    And one more question, apparently these LCD units are not factory sealed? If this dust came from my environment, and did not originate from within the panel (thus not covered), is there anyway (if it comes back not fixed) that this could be cleaned out? I mean if it gets in there, there has to be a way to get it out right? I hope to write back soon with good news that its all covered, but just in case I might as well start looking at options, (geeze I'm such a pessimist)
    I'd love to hear if anyone has any similar stories.
    Thanks!

    That seems logical. If there is some small opening in the bottom to allow air to get inbetween the top and a lower layer inside the lcd panel, then it might not be possible to open it up to clean it out. I'm hoping that if its not fixed by apple, that there might be a way to do just that, regardless or risk of breaking the display. If I did break the display, I'd have to buy a new one, and if they don't fix it I'll have to buy a new one, so either way... I might just have to be the first to try such a thing, who knows, might be able to fix it myself...
    And as far as being negative, no worries, I'm negative enough for all of us, or should I say scared my favorite laptop ever (and most expensive) won't be fixed...

  • Why am I seeing dust inside my iPhone 5S camera lens?

    I don't have a case for my iPhone 5S and I do carry it in my jeans pocket. I am also not a messy person. So today I noticed something -- there's clearly some dust inside the camera lens (the one in the back.) When I shake the phone it rattles around. How in the world can it get there? And is there anything I can do to get it out?

    Not unheard of, look to your right under "More Like This" for related discussions.-->
    You have a 1 year warranty.  Take it in and let Apple look at it.  Back it up first.

  • Dust inside back camera lens

    Just noticed two specs of dust inside my wife's iPhone 4, she bought it in July 2010.
    The cut the long story short, photo's from that phone always looked "soft" (like the lens was dirty) when compared to the photos from my iPhone 4.
    Yesterday, however, I had to take some indoors pictures with my wife's phone as mine was out of available storage. Most of the photos and videos looked rubbish: huge halos around light sources, grain, weird colours, very soft (inferior even compared to a friend's 3GS). So I knew something was wrong, and then I noticed two specs of dust inside the camera lens, right in the middle. The phone is otherwise immaculate apart from a tiny screen scratch. I guess the dust was there from day 1, as photos never looked right.
    Is this supposed to happen over time? Is the lens unit sealed? Is Apple likely to fix it under warranty (the phone is 8 months old)?
    Cheers,
    GB

    The phone comes with a one-year warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store. If your phone is deemed defective, it will be replaced on the spot.

  • How can i remove dust from the inside of my iMac ?

    Good Morning (?)
    Recently moved and there was a fair amount of dust in the new place, some of which has collected around the fan. Is there away to clean the dust that I would guess has migrated to the inside of the computer?
    Early '09 IMac.
    Thank you
    Brian

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

  • Dust Particles inside the Screen of my iPhone!! Help?

    Hello my name is John and well I have one problem. I am starting to get DUST PARTICLES inside the screen of my iPhone!! At first I wasn't bothered much but then the amount increased, and well now, when in sunlight, it is starting to get annoying! Any suggestions on how to free my iPhone of dust particles? Anyone????

    I have gone to BOTH Apple and AT&T and they have said that they cannot do anything about it, AT&T said that they didn't know, and said to take it to Apple, and Apple said, "you can try compressed air to see if you can get it out".

  • Dust under the zen Touch'es scr

    I was wondering, whether I could make Creative take a look at my player, because there is dust under the screen. I mean, could this be a warrenty service issue? I asked already Creative customer support in Germany ( e-Mail), but it will take longer because of the weekend and some fests in the beginning of the next week, so I hope I could get some hints hier too. I has been 45 days since I have it and it is getting more and more. It is quite annoying to look at it. I do not want to experiment removing it alone, as I could damage the player and void the warranty; what is more important is that I would like to have a permanent protection against dust.
    By the way is this normal? I did not observe any dust under other peoples' players. Nobody is posting smth aboout it, so I presume it is just me.
    Thank you

    Here are some links for you its not just you. As you are in Deutschland I would suggest that you may want to return it to the shop you bought it from and ask for a replacement if you feel it is excessi've.
    (that is far more straightforward than dealing with a manufacturer) As for protecting it from dust I intend to buy a unit in the next couple of weeks so I would be interested too in preventing this problem.
