Guest hellboundpeanut Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 sorry about not putting this in dust, couldnt see it and ive crippled my arm , making it painful to do anything... oops! Anyways, people were thinking that dust came through the earpiece. But after my 5th dismantle to clear the screen of dust i found that the sticky sealant around the screen was duff on the left hand side! So with some bluetack i put down the side ive solved the problem. --roled the tak into a strip ,put allong the side with the duff seal just uner the line you can see running around the front. then scrapped the excess with a screw driver. usually im clearing dust every 3/4 weeks, but i havent had any in at least 5 .. hope this helps a few people with the same prob as me.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Nice fix, when you say duff what do you mean? is there a gap or is it just not sticking?
Guest hellboundpeanut Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 sorry , just norfolk slang! duff as in its broke, the seal wont stik down the left side, and thats where he dust was the biggest problem (top left) .. so put some tack , and its all good
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Woohoo! Maybe the norfolk meet would work after all :) P
Guest Brody Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 I'm up for meeting in Norfolk, much closer to me than Birmingham and i could visit Lotus and the Alan Partridge "hotspots" :wink: Then again, a lot of people from Norfolk were offended by Partridge weren't they?!
Guest hellboundpeanut Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 .. well , im sure they can get over it! .. norfolks alright :) i know one or two people with spvs here! but is a tad outta the way.. oo ar!
Guest James Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 all my dust is in the bottom left of the screen, same problem/fix you think?
Guest hellboundpeanut Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 i guess so , theres only the seal between the screen and the outside, as i looked one day i found i could put a peice of paper through so icould see it under the screen!! I decided to seal with seleotape , but the stickyness wore off, the blue tack provides a barrier which dust cant get past .... When your phone is in peices check if the seal is good all the way around it was only a slight gap which deleoped into a huge one on mine! if your problem is the same that is.. if not just do it all round the screen -im sure that'll do. to get rid of the dust i find a small paintbrush is good, got it from a model shop.

Guest James Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 well i will use a dust cleaner from work (compressed air in a can) as it works a treat for everything else round the house!
