C500 Dust Problems Solved.

[Guest Bailster]

First of all, this is my first post, but I have been using the site for the past month and have got to say it's a quality resource. ^_^

Right, I've had my C500 around a month now and today I noticed the dreaded dust problem for the first time. But, before making the call to Orange I decided to try and sort it myself without invalidating the warranty. We use SprayDusters at work (Basically compressed air designed for removing dust from electrical equipment) - one short blast of this at the volume button and I had a dust free screen once again. 8)

These things cost about 5 GBP from some computer shops and are in a silver and blue can.

Hope this works for others.

Great tip, I'll steal a can from work! :P

I'm worried about dust build up and I don't even have a C500, thats how bad the problem is! :D

Just ordered mine today ^_^

Also great for blasting annoying colleges in the ear.

and if you hold it on spray for long enought the can gts so cold you get ice on the outside then ask a college to hold it hehehe

I tried this and it didn't seem to do much apart from spread the dust down the screen. It seems to be trapped between the 2 layers and can't move or I'm not getting a good enough gap to push the air through. Did you remove the volume button, and if so how?
