MacBook Pro :: Applecare Can Cover Dust Removal?
May 30, 2010I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13' 2.53 GHz, and it's been getting hotter a lot more quickly, and a lot more often then since I got it. I opened it up and saw a lot of dust in there. I didn't have any compressed air in the house at the time, but i'm also concerned about messing something up.

Feb 9, 2009I've had a 24" iMac (alu) for about a year. Now I bought a Mac Pro (Love it!). Therefore i wanted to sell the iMac, but:
All the time I've had it, dust has been building up inside the screen. I thought it was inside the glass cover, but I carefully removed that and cleaned it and the surface of the LCD element. That didn't do it...
From what I can see, the dust is inside the LCD element. Building up on the white lit surface behind the LCD crystals. (See the attached image).
IMac :: Dust Behind LCD - Compressed Air?
Aug 24, 2010I'm really enjoying my new 27" i7 iMac. It has a quiet Western Digital hard drive, a uniform-enough screen and no strange noises (unless it's really hot and I put my ear right up to the back vent.)
The second day I owned it, I noticed a speck of dust trapped between the LCD and backlight and now I'm being neurotic about it. If it was there on the first day, I didn't notice it. I don't want to exchange it since it's such a minor thing to exchange an otherwise incredible machine for, and there's no guarantee that replacement wouldn't have other, worse defects.
I tried tapping on the screen with my knuckle around the affected area. No movement. I then had the idea of using compressed air, carefully directing the red tube into the vent and through one of the round holes into the case and giving it a few quick puffs. Of course, I wanted to see if anyone here had done this first. I don't want to stir up more dust in there either.

IMac :: How To Keep Screen Free From Dust
Dec 13, 2010I keep finding that there is dust under my iMac screen. When I remove the glass planel to clean it and put it back, there is inevitably ALWAYS some dust that gets in between the second I wipe the screen and second I put it on. I've spent hours over the past few weeks doing this and it's driving me mad. All I want is a screen with no dust. I heard I can use canned air. If so, how exactly would I go about doing this? Spraying the canned air inside?

Dec 28, 2010As OCD as I am with brand new stuff. I check my electronics all the time to make sure their in perfect order, and noticed dust etched under my 27" imac that I can't get off. So obviously it's inside where I can't get access to cleaning it off. What do the workers making these computers forget to wipe the screens off before they put them on? Now it's not notiecable unless you look with a flashlight in the dark, but still annoys me. Does applecare even fix a issue like this?

Jul 28, 2009Just purchased a refurb iMac 2.93ghz, noticed dust under the screen, well I think its dust as I can still see it when the mac is turned off, would a dead pixel be visible when turned off? Is there anyway I can remove it without taking the glass out, maybe compressed air?

Aug 28, 2010My 27" has one speck of dust in the corner. I spoke with local Apple repair shop and they'll take care of it "provided no indications of tampering are detected". Other possible dings not detected, so I got away relatively light. I wouldn't worry about it normally, but it'll have to be mentioned at sale time three years down the road, and the price will take a hit if I leave it there.

Apr 7, 2009there is a small speck of something on the inside of my iMac screen. at first i thought it was a dead/stuck pixel, but closer observation reveals that it's a little particle on the inside of the screen. i've tried tapping the glass lightly to try to dislodge the speck but so far no luck.
is this something that i can fix myself? i've recently had the lcd replaced in my computer, could it have gotten in there when they did that? should i take it back and ask them to clean the inside of the glass? i assume it would be a quick process, will it be covered under warranty?
IMac :: 27-inch - Dust Under The Screen - How To Clean
Jul 17, 2010A few months ago, i noticed what looked like a streak across the screen, but it wasnt on the outside, it was on the under side of the glass. Now, the streak is very visible esp in natural lighting. Its not noticable at night, because the screen light shines through it making it invisible.
It looks like dust? But im not 100% sure, but it has a directional pattern which leads me to believe its being causes by the inner fans of the system, and that there are some gaps where the air flow is constant. Also, the streak is in the upper left hand corner mostly (no where on the bottom poritions). Im assuming that the place holder at the top-backside of the iMac, for the exhaust fans to expell the heat from within, is what is causing this air flow.
Mac :: New IMac 2 - Pixels Dead Due To Dust Or Scratch?
Aug 20, 2010I just bought a second refurb imac 27 and today when i received it and i started transfering the information from time machine i saw 3 little black dots on the middle of the screen, now i thought dust behind the screen? but i also consider maybe dead pixels? a scratch?Here are the pictures i took from the imac.How do i know for sure if these are dead or stuck pixels? i called apple care but it will take one week or more if i send it to check, so i wonder if there is something i can do to verify if these 3 dots are really dead pixels? or if it is dust behind the screen?

They require periodic cleaning or the gunk level gets....well....pretty gunky! Is there a filter of some kind that's easy to get to to keep the inside of my iMac nice and clean (read: cool)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIMac :: RAM Doesn't Click Slide / Pop Into Place - Not Settled - Froze
Dec 22, 2009So I have an i5 27" that came with 4GB RAM (two 2 gig chips). I ordered two more 2 gig chips for a total of 8. When I went to install the two new ones, I followed logical steps. Remove the flexible plastic strip, slide the ram into the slot. However, the ram doesn't click, slide, or pop into place, in any way. I have tried both sides, and I have tried flipping the ram over and doing it backwards. I tried booting the computer with them in there even though they weren't settled in and it froze. I took them out, put the cover back on, and rebooted, and now every time I boot i get a meter that takes forever to fill up. Once booted, the computer does work normally. What am I doing wrong? And how can i fix this painfully long boot process? What have i done.

IMac :: Using 27" IMac Without Glass Front Cover?
Feb 22, 2010I have recently upgraded from a 24" iMac to a 27". The screen is great, but after a few hours of work (this is my work machine), my eyes really begin to bother me.Has anyone out there tried using their iMac without the front glass sheet over the LCD? What does the LCD look like?I don't have any children around, so I'm not worried about the screen being scratched or damaged -- but if course I would eventually need to clean it just to remove the dust build up.

IMac :: Any Temperature Specifications - Back Cover Hot To Touch
Jul 2, 2009My iMac is really hot! That is, when I run my hand across the outside of the machine, it is warm all over, and the entire upper portion of the back is what I would call "hot" to the touch. That is, I can place my hand there for a while, but it is uncomfortable. Is this normal? I suppose there is a specification for case temps. In a more analytic vein, iStat Nano shows component temps as follows:
HD: 58
CPU A: 57
GPU: 64
GPU Diode: 68
GPU Heatsink: 64
Ambient: 31
Memory Controller: 58
IMac :: Chip In Glass Behind Screen - What If They Only Replace The Glass But Get Dust?
Aug 11, 2010there is a small chip behind the glass of my 27" imac. It's about the size of a small crumb or the eye of a small needle. It's hard to see, but it's definitely there. Today is my last day to get the imac replaced or repaired. I have a feeling if I bring it in that they will see there's no reason to swap out the entire imac, and if there is I would have to wait awhile because it's a custom high end one so they don't have the specsI'm worried if they swap the glass that it's just some 19 year old kid that does it and he won't be careful with the screen and will get dust, finger prints, etc. on the glass making it worse.

IMac :: Speed, Type Of Ram, Graphics Card And Harddisk?
Mar 4, 2009noting the diff which is speed, type of ram, graphics card and harddisk. My more impt factor is the graphics card. Is the new Nvidia 9400m better than the old ATI card?Not sure which to get... how to balance with the new machine with the price....My assesment is that... the diff is about $100 or even equal if i upgrade the old model to 4gb ram. So, is the ~$100 diff justifiable to get the old one cos its $100 cheaper but get a better graphics card? Or pay $100 more to get the new model with a bit slower CPU, lousier graphics card but double the hard disk and DDR3 ram compared to DDR2.
