dust inside lcd screen in stock

If you had an older 2011 iMac the cover glass is easy to get off, and has a space that is not closed off it and can get dusty. The newer 2012 onward are technically sealed! The open cell foam apple uses does allow a bit of air flow (to adjust for air pressure) but it’s not porous enough to allow dust through.

So what is going on here this looks like dust! What you are likely seeing is the degrading of the liquid crystal material, over time and the amount of static twist the liquid crystal has endured the screen can appear as dusty!

That is the first I hear about dust in an LCD. Lots of people on here get tiny bugs in there LCD and hope they crawl out. I do not have the same problem but know how much of a pain it can be. My digital camera has two pieces of dust in two separate areas inside somewhere on the lens so when I take pictures and the lighting is bright I see two blurs on the picture where the dust is. My pictures come out with the same marks in the same location. I tempted to open my camera to clean the dust but did not think I could take the telescoping lens out and put it back in so I put it back together and deal with it. Good luck with getting that hair out of there.

I have a dust on my screen , which mind you has never been there, and when I tried to remove it no matter how much I try (although I did not want to force it too much), the stain wont get off, so I figured it maybe inside my monitor.

so I figured it maybe inside my monitorFirst, you need to determine if it really is inside, between the layers, or on the outside. If on the outside, eyeglass cleaner, a clean microfiber cloth for lenses, and elbow grease is the only way to get it off, assuming it has not scratched the surface or other wise caused some corrosion and marred the surface.

If really on the inside, there"s not much you can do without totally taking it apart, and then risk permanent damage and more dust, dirt, fingerprints, etc. getting in there.

Bill the EngineerGuy makes LCD Monitor Teardown look easy, but even as an experienced technician, it can be a taunting task. It is probably better if you just learn to ignore it.

It is not worth it trying to fix a panel yourself, it is too easy to damage an LCD panel and it is not serviceable. I have an tiny spot on my LCD already but I can ignore it.

There are old tricks for removing dead pixel that may work like using a pen cover with a cloth and pressing on the black dot. But that can cause damage. I tried that on my monitor with the dust inside it does not work.

It"s the end of a long day,and you want nothing more than to flop down in front of your flat-screen television and watch an episode of "Modern Family" or indulge in 60 minutes of "LA Ink." Or, if the TV isn"t calling, maybe you want to do some late-night online shopping -- the dress you saw yesterday on "What Not to Wear" is calling your name. But your end-of-the-day unwinding won"t be nearly as enjoyable if you sit down and come face-to-face with a dusty, dirty LCD (liquid crystal display) screen.

Whether it"s just dust that inevitably settles on the screen or something worse (like smudgy little fingerprints), a less-than-pristine LCD screen means less-than-ideal picture quality. "Dirt or dust particles can appear like dead or stuck pixels because they block the light shining from inside of the LCD panel," says Dave Chipman, manager of product quality at Sharp, one of the leading manufacturers of LCD screens. "A coating of dust or dirt can reduce overall brightness and create a dull-looking picture."

Important:Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing acetone. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean the screen.

If cleaning an external display, disconnect the display from power, from your Mac, and from any external devices. If cleaning an iMac screen, disconnect the power from your computer.

If additional cleaning is required, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display, then wipe the screen. Avoid getting moisture in openings.

Important:If you have an Apple Pro Display XDR or an iMac, its screen is either nano-texture glass or standard glass. For more information about how to clean both types of glass, see the Apple Support article How to clean the nano-texture glass on your Apple display.

Screens can scratch easily, and even paper towels and tissues contain fibers that can do damage. “Your best bet is to use a soft, anti-static microfiber cloth—the kind used to clean eyeglasses and camera lenses—and wipe in a circular motion,” says John Walsh, who cleans more than 250 TVs a year in his role as a CR photographer. (Some TV manufacturers will include a cloth for this purpose.) “Gently wipe the screen with a dry cloth to remove dust and other debris, but don’t press too hard,” he says.

You may also want to wipe down the TV’s cabinet, and make sure dust isn’t clogging the vents that help dissipate heat. If the TV is on a stand and not tethered to the wall, Walsh suggests cleaning with one hand while supporting the TV with the other to prevent the set from tipping over. However, CR strongly recommends anchoring all stand-mounted TVs using anti-tipping straps designed for this purpose.

If there are hard-to-remove stains, you can dampen the cloth slightly with distilled water and gently clean the screen. Don’t spray water directly onto the screen; that could cause a shock or component failure if water seeps into the inner workings of the set.

For the most stubborn stains, you can try using a solution of very mild dish soap highly diluted with water, once again applied to the cloth and not to the TV itself. (As a guideline, Panasonic used to recommend a 100:1 ratio of water to soap.) LCD screens, in particular, are very sensitive to pressure and can scratch easily, so don’t press hard.

Regularly cleaning your LCD monitor keeps it free of dust, smudges, and germs. Wiping with a dry microfiber cloth is the safest cleaning option and is surprisingly effective at removing germs. You may need to use a dampened microfiber cloth to get rid of stubborn smudges and stuck-on debris, though. If you"re worried about germs, consider using a vinegar and water solution or a Lysol wipe on the screen. Be sure to check the device’s user manual first to make sure it’s okay to use liquids!

Dust isn"t just unattractive—it can potentially damage or even destroy parts of your computer. Cleaning your computer regularly will help you keep it working properly and avoidexpensive repairs.

Dust, food, liquid, and other particles can get stuck underneath the keys on your keyboard, which can prevent it from working properly. The basic cleaning tips below can help keep your keyboard clean.

Optical mice require no internal cleaning because they do not contain any rotating parts; however, they can get sticky over time as dust collects near the light emitter. This can cause erratic cursor movement or prevent the mouse from working properly.

Mechanical mice are especially susceptible to dust and particlesthat can accumulate inside the mouse, which can make it difficult to track—or move—properly. If the mouse pointer does not move smoothly, the mouse may need to be cleaned.

If you have a mechanical mouse, remove the tracking ball by turning the ball-cover ring counter-clockwise. Then clean the tracking ball and the inside of the mouse with a cotton cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol.

If you just want to give the mouse a quick cleaning, place it on a clean sheet of paper and move the mouse back and forth. Some of the dust and particles should rub off onto the paper.

Dirt, fingerprints, and dust can make your computer screen difficult to read; however, it"s easy to clean your screenwhen needed. There are monitor-cleaning kits you can buy, but they may damage your monitor if they"re designed for a different type of monitor. For example, a monitor cleaner that is designed for glass screens may not work with some non-glass LCD screens. The safest method is simply to use a soft clean cloth moistened with water.

From time to time, you should clean your computer case and the sides and back of the monitor to avoid a buildup of dust and dirt. Here are a few tips you can use when cleaning these surfaces.

Clean the monitor housing and case (butnotthe monitor screen) by spraying a safe cleaning solution onto a paper towel or anti-static cloth and wiping in a downward motion.
