Iphone 5 has dust under the actual screen.

I'm pretty upset that i found a tiny speck of dust under the screen. I'm pretty sure it's not a dead pixel cause it rainbows. I can't really notice it because i have an anti glare screen protector built in. Should i return it? Is this a bad sign? Can things get worse? Is this normal? I really don't want to because i don't wanna get a refurbished nor is it noticeable unless i start looking for it.

Should I return it?
I would
Is this a bad sign?
Does it sound like a good sign to you?
Can things get worse?
You can always wait and find out
Is this normal?
Does it seem normal to you?  Probablyh not.

  • New iPad..dust under the glass screen ?????

    After buying the new iPad 32GB 4G from your branch here in Saudi Arabia, I was shocked to discover some dust under the glass screen. When I returned to the showroom, they refused to replace it and claimed that it is normal for all iPad products to leak in dust and is not a damage in the unit. I believe it is not acceptable at all for a SAR 3000+ devise to allow dust to come into its internal chipsets (with all the damage this might cause). I am sending this as a complaint against the local reseller with request of immediate replacement.
    Please advise

    I finally took my device to the Apple Store today. Due to having dust beneath the screen, as well as the crack, it meant they replaced the whole unit, rather than just the screen, which they would have done in the event of just dust.
    If anyone else has any issues, I'd highly recommend taking it to a Genius Bar. The staff were so helpful, and no questions were asked really.
    Well done Apple

  • Dust under the glass screen

    Hi, I have had my iPhone 4 since Friday 18th February, yesterday the screen protector that the phone came with peeled off so i took it off and wiped it with a microfibre cloth. When I was looking at the screen I noticed a white speck under the screen when the screen was off. I then turned it on and viewed it and the speck is black. could this be dust or a dead pixel? I would like to get it replaced but I have no local apple store only a Solutions Inc premium apple reseller. Also I had ordered the phone from the online uk apple store.

    The iPhone 3G & 3GS can have dust get under the screen, as the LCD screen is screwed to a frame and then that frame has the glass and digitizer glued to it. There is a small amount of space between the screen and the glass so dust can work its way in there. If the iPhone 3G/3GS is under warranty you can call Apple to see if they can either clean it or replace the screen. If the iPhone 3G/3GS is out of warranty you can still call them but there is less of a chance it will be covered.
    For the iPhone 4 & original iPhone, the LCD screen is fused to the digitizer/glass assembly. This way dust can not get in there, but at the same time you are unable to replace just the glass if there is damage to the glass, which makes for a more expensive repair. If there is dust some how between the LCD and glass (which are glued together) then contact apple as the iPhone 4 is still under warranty. But if there is dust there it would have had to of been there since the iPHone 4 was new.
    And no the iOS4.3 update would not add dust...

  • Dust under the 6760 screen

    Hello Everyone,
    First post here, so please be gentle
    Somehow, my 6760 slide's screen has accumulated some dust and other unwanted stuff.
    I was looking to find out how, if possible, to clean under the screen.
    I slid my fingernail around in between the top and base of the screen and kind of semi de-attached it. However, despite exerting a bit of decent force, I was unable to detach the top half of the screen
    I was scared that I may have snapped something otherwise.
    I hope that was clear enough. If not, please do not hesitate in asking me foir further clarifications.
    So, any takers on how I could accomplish this please???
    I thank everyone in advance for trying to help
    Regards,
    NU
    Solved!

    Thank you so much for that psychomania
    I didn't damage the phone, and yes it is still under warranty.
    I will see next time I head out to town if I remember to take my mobile to the repair centre or not
    I thought that it would have been something easy, at the same time something that I may have being overlooking.
    Thanks for the heads up nonetheless.

  • Dust under the Q5 screen.

    Hey guys,
    Because it's more sunny than usual I've noticed quite a lot of dust under my screen.
    It's comes from the top left corner where the USB socket is.
    It is also where the front facing camera is.
    Question is, should I try to get it back to the retailer and hope warranty would cover it or try to clean it on my own?
    Matt

    I have visited the retailer which in this case is Carphone Warehouse in their Geek Squad place on Totenham Court Rd. The only thing they can do is send it to Blackberry to get it clean but I will have to pay for this service, despite the fact that It is clearly the manufacturer fault.
    It's a shame that buying a phone that works properly is such a hassle.
    I would like to contact Blackeberry Customer Service but I can't find any contact details apart from the link to this forum.

  • X6 dust under the screen

    is that normal to get a bit of dust under the glass screen in nokia x6?

    Hi
    It depends the way u use the phone.
    if u use always witha protected case, and take the device out when ever necessary only these type of happenings will get minimised.
    if u use without cover and always exposed, this type of things will happen frequently.
    so this is not a problem of the X6 device.
    however u can take it to "nokia care" and get the dust removed by them.
    but remember, when u dismantle X6 always the bottom and top panels has to be replaced. once removed the same cannot be refixed.
    so u may have to bear the cost .
    cheers

  • Dust under the LCD cover, sticky/non-responsive keyboard..

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find information on this.
    I purchased this phone, outright, from Bell when they finally started selling it a couple of weeks ago.  Since then, the phone has aquired a large amount of dust under the LCD cover (and continues to do so).  The keys sometimes "stick" or feel like they cannot be pushed down (but are registering).
    I contacted my carrier, Bell, over the phone and the CSR told me to go into a local Bell store to get it checked out.
    I went to my local Bell store and a worker there told me that I can't get it exchanged and that I should just open the phone myself to clean out the dust and check the keyboard.
    Is this right?
    They're telling me to void the warranty on this brand new phone regarding problems I'm having with it.  Does anyone have any tips on what I should do about this?
    My previous phone (which was a Pearl 8130 that I had for 3 years) didn't collect any dust under the LCD screen and had no keyboard issues.

    your warranty and support is through your carrier you need to be firm and explain it better to them your issue. You should not have dust on the LCD so soon with a new device (unless it is damaged) as for sticky keys, i never had a sticky key with the hundreds of devices we have unless some one spilled something on it. If it is a factory defect, again you have to get this taken care of with your carrier and they are the first line in warranty support.
    Good Luck.

  • Dirt under the ipad screen

    Hi,
    I realizes there's a bit of dust under the ipad screen. did anyone encounter that before? can it be send to the service center to check? Thanks

    I'd take it back. If it is new they should give you a new one. Otherwise, they should give you a serviced one. In either event, it goes without saying, make rue you back it up first.

  • Dust under the camera glass

    I have xperia z3 dual and my phone has dust under the camera glass!!

    Then i dont understand how could any dust go under the lens. Can you post a picture or something of the lens. If the device is waterproof and there is dust under the lens,  am i stupid to thing you putted the device into sand with opened covers?  There is no way of any dust coming into the lens if the device is waterproof and all covers are closed.

    MTS and Beeline provide all service for the iPhone in Russia. Take your phone to them and see. They will have to evaluate it.

  • IPhone - Dust under the screen; Anyone else?

    After just a few hours in my pocket, I have my first speck of dust under the screen. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
    After some inspection, I noticed there is a very small gap between the metal case and the headphone jack which is especially visible when the backlight is on (I can see light from the backlight).

    Hey Luc Lux,
    Do you have a screen protector on the iPhone? If you do try removing it and cleaning the screen.
    If there isn't anything covering the screen, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Dust Under the Screen and Case Cracks

    Hey guys,
    I am the proud owner of an iPhone 3G S, and love the thing to pieces. I've had it for 8 months now, however over the past few weeks, I have become slightly disappointed with it.
    Firstly, a small crack appeared above the 'Silent On/Off' switch, which I don't understand how it appeared as the phone has never been dropped or bumped. It's only very tiny, but I'm a perfectionist and not particularly happy about the fact it has appeared by itself. I treat my phone like royalty.
    Then today, I realised a tiny white fleck on the screen when running an app. At first, I thought it might have been a dead pixel, but it turns out that it's a fleck of dust under the screen. How did it get there?! And it's not the only fleck either. When I turned the screen off, there appears to be at least 3 or 4 tiny flecks. They aren't obtrusive to the screen, but annoy me as, like I said before, I'm a perfectionist.
    Am I still within warranty at 8 months? And if I am, would Apple replace my iPhone if I was to return it? It was purchased from O2, so would I return it to them, or Apple directly?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I finally took my device to the Apple Store today. Due to having dust beneath the screen, as well as the crack, it meant they replaced the whole unit, rather than just the screen, which they would have done in the event of just dust.
    If anyone else has any issues, I'd highly recommend taking it to a Genius Bar. The staff were so helpful, and no questions were asked really.

  • Dust under the screen....

    Does anyone know if you can have apple remove the dust under the screen if you are under warranty? Like will they service the iphone for that? And if they do, do you know if they will completely replace the iphone, or will they just remove the screen and fix it?
    Thanks

    Roaminggnome is right, it's a case by case basis, but as long as you have not abused the phone, it's more than likely you can get a replacement, but don't quote me on that. They will replace the phone if they decide to--they don't do cosmetic work. So, what I'm saying simply is--maybe, maybe not--make an appointment with a Genius at an Apple Store to see. If they will, they'll give you another iPhone.

  • 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...
