[QUOTE="happyleaves, post: 45011"] Hi Guys The can of compressed air sounds good, but am not sure where to spray it. When you detach the LCD from the back plate and have removed the front surround, you are left with one piece which doesn't seem to have any mechanical fixings to take apart, and has a folded edge of thin foil/metal. Am i supposed to peal this edging back and spray the compressed air along it in hope that the bugs come loose? Anarkhy, the bugs are easily visible inside the screen alost as though there are blocks of 3,4 or 5 pixels which are broken. If you go to [url]http://www.happyleaves.co.uk/harvest-bugs.html[/url] you can see what one of them looks like. Does anyone think Apple might assist by replacing my screen for free (even though it is 13 months old) as the unit is supposed to be a sealed unit, yet it clearly isn't? As i am in the process of setting up my Happyleaves Graphic Design company, i'm going to switch my main PC to a G5 with the new aluminium look 20" Cinema Display, but now i'm not so sure. £1000 is a lot to pay if i'm going to need to replace the LCD component next summer when they harvest again!
