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.

  • My ipod touch has been of for ages and now has blue squiggly flashing lines...is it broken or can I do something ?

    my ipod touch has been of for ages and now has blue squiggly flashing lines...is it broken or can I do something ?

    - First try resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then restore the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    -  If still problems you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. The phone has a 1 year warranty. If it's no longer under warranty, a replacement is $269.

  • Satellite P - Dust grain between display and front

    Hello.
    After some weeks suddently i have a dust grain between display and front glas.
    how can it get there and I must therefore send in the notebook to service?
    Greetings from germany and sorry about my bad english.

    Hi
    I think its difficult to say something about this but I think in this case you can do nothing. The only chance is contacting an authorized service provider because the technicians can disassemble the notebook and check this case. If you disassemble the notebook yourself you will loose the warranty so I wouldnt do this
    If you dont know where is the nearest ASP you can search here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Find an authorized service provider
    Just contact the technicians. You will see that its interesting to talk with them a little bit and they are friendly. ;)

    After ios7 upgrade to my 4s, touch interface keeps freezing on me and the screen rotation feature us completely dead. Any ideas?

    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Dust, Debris In Between Glass and LCD

    Hi,
    A few months ago I purchased a Macbook Pro 13", it is not the newest revision with the nvidia320 graphics, its the older.
    Anyways, just a couple days ago, I opened the computer and noticed two pieces of dust in between the glass and display right it the middle of course about two inches apart, they for sure are not dead or stuck pixels as I can get them to move just a tad if I give the screen a few good taps but I don't want to screw up anything, plus a few more specks have came and gone since this started (seemingly moving across the screen over a couple days) but the original two specks are still there it seems to be getting worse and I'm concerned by a month or two the screen is going to have dozens of these specs. I keep my screen and computer super clean, I'm a bit neurotic about that which is why it annoys me so much. I'm wondering if I have a leak i the seal around my screen or something.
    Once you see these things you can't un-see them. To make matters worse, I haven't yet bought the applecare but it is still within the one year warranty, and its the old model so I don't know if they would even be able to replace it for me if they could as I'm sure they have started caring only the newest revision. Which would be a problem for me if they just opted to swap the whole thing since I got the faster 2.53 model and not the base, and from the looks of it the newer model only comes in 2.4ghz and 2.66 respectively.
    TL;DR, I have an appointment at an Apple Store tomorrow to have them check it out but I don't know if they are going to want me to pay to replace the screen or what, since I don't have apple care but I'm still under 1 year warranty? I'm curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation. This seems likes its a manufacturers defect and not anything I could have caused. It already seemed like I was pulling their teeth when I got my Macbook Pro originally it had several dead pixels and I was able to get them to swap it out so I'm wondering what kind of freak their going to think I am when I show them these pieces of dust lol. But man are they annoying, has anyone else went through this on a model over two weeks old?

    Hello,
    After reading the post and review the pictures I think I have the same problem.
    I bought a MacBook Pro 13" in December 2009 (still under warranty) through Apple Store and I noticed what I thought was a dead pixel. Looking better, even with the screen off, there is something in the sector. I took it to an Apple service and said it was a speck of dust behind the glass. I made the request to repair to Apple Care and have not had a response succesfull.
    Would greatly appreciate any suggestions from you guys.
    Greetings.
