Clean out the earpiece?

so after a year, the red on my ear piece is starting to fade a bit, but what's worse is under it is definitely some dust and/or gunk that i tried to get at with a toothpick but even that was too thick to fit in there..here's a pic. any idea how to clean it out?

A vacuum cleaner?

Its a beeyotch to clean... There's a piece of foam under there so even with the grill off (which is underneath the glass) its something that is tedious

ah damn. oh well, then i won't even bother trying lol,..i got some out with a toothpick atleast

if it's affecting sounds quality, I'd check with a refurb if still within a year, if not, oh well. adds character

I noticed mine gathering lint from the first few days of owning it. Kind of annoying, but it doesn't noticeably affect sound quality and it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to clean in there, so I'm not too concerned. When the phone was brand new, I was much more paranoid about making sure it stays in perfect condition.

My screen is starting to get dusty on the inside. I'm going to have to clean it soon, but I keep putting it off because it's such a process to make sure there is nothing on the screen before you put the phone back together.

I've been able to successfully return phones to Verizon due to dust under the screen. Its considered a manufacturing defect. It should not happen. Happens more often on Motorola's though.

[Q] Dust Accumulating Under Screen

The other month the metal frame round my Desire came loose to the point that it protruded quite uncomfortably in the hand. I bought and fitted a whole new case which was no problem, however now it lets in a lot of dust, mostly through the middle left of the screen, and I'm not talking about a little bit of dust, it lets in crazy amounts that after 2 weeks ends up obscuring the screen completely and I have to take it apart and clean it. I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I think it's to do with the seal but I'm not sure exactly. Anyone else had this issue, or could help? Thanks.

There is a bit of a seal between the glass and the metal in the desire which you might need to replace one way or another. I also think the glass is put on during manufacture in vacuum conditions.
People who repair watches or replace batteries on watches that require to go x number of meters under water have to go through a similar process. Might be worth seeing what they can do.
it's quite unfortunate. Good luck with sorting out the issue.

I have the same problem. I once dismantaled the entire thing, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It mostly got cleared for a while but then came back.
I've gotten used to it now...

[Q] Screen Protector Membrane

Awhile back I bought a screen protector and it came in.
I read the instructions and everything, finally ready to apply.
I start applying and the first thing I notice is 3 layers of **** protecting the screen protector.
So eventually I ruined the first one because of dust and didn't know what ****ing layer was the screen protector.
I start on number two with a better attitude thinking I got this *****, the hell you know it gets screwed over. Apparently somewhere in between applying I bent the *****.. and this causes it to look like **** even then there was bubbles everywhere, where it says its bubble free
I don't even want to apply number three because I know something horribly will go wrong. Did anyone else use this brand and what was your experience?
I'd also like to note it did get scratched when applying the film too. Piece of **** companies
To top it off I got my case in too and it looks used, looks like a coffee stain on the back and was poorly cut.

Looks like it would just click back together.

I have a Moko case that clips on the bottom corners, and sometimes when I remove the case from the corners of the tablet the back of the tablet starts to come off something like you pictured, but not as much. I simply snap (or press) the back, back on to the tablet. Are you not able to do that also? The backs come off rather easily as some people have removed them to fiddle with the wireless charging contacts. Everything else seems good on my tablet, so I will just be more careful when removing the case.

I finagled the case back on however one of the clips seems to be broken off unfortunately

Hiding scratches/chips in the bezel

Back in the days of the iPhone 5 (I didn't have one, it's just for reference) many people complained about the black one scratching and chipping easily, and silver metal being visible underneath, there was a fix discovered. "Birchwood Casey Super Black Touch Up Pen". Since I chipped the bezel on my 360, you think this would work? If so, which pen would it be? Flat, Gloss, or Matt, I doubt it would be Matt. I'll leave pictures of the damage to my watch below.

I tripped and it hit the ground before my hand. I tried marker too, it came out almost a purpley colour. Gonna order that marker soon, hopefully it'll work.
