Dust BEHIND the screen's cover on iMac

gulyas · Nov 16, 2006

Hi!

I have an annoying problem with my iMac's (intel) display. I carried it once with big care somewhere (I was very careful), and I wrapped it in clothes. Now, when I turned it on I observed dust on the screen, which I couldn't get rid of, so I realized that it's INSIDE the iMac (maybe it went in through the cd slot).
Here are some pictures:

The iMac is still under guarantee. Do you think it can be cleaned, and is this a guarantee-issue?

Thanks!

My friends iPod had this happen to him, don't know how it got in there but it is annoying. Hope your figure something out.

rinse it off in a bucket of water to remove the particles.

Take it back. They are supposed to be sealed.

I had this happen to two 20" ACD's.

This happened with my iPod too! I don't know what to do about it.

iGary, and what did they do to your ACD at the service? Did they repair it or cleaned it (if it's possible)?
