Hey guys,
I've got a K800 Special Edition and there seem to be some dirt (actually it looks like a spec of dust and a piece of hair!!) on the underside of the top screen. Its driving me crazy having to see them all the time!! Guys please give me some tips on how to clean that part of the screen without breaking my phone. Also I, like many others, have dust around the joystick-tips to clean it?
You guys are the experts.

You will need a Torx screw driver to open up the screws and get them out.
Here is the disassembly guide:-

Do not touch the PCB, just do the cleaning part.

A can of compressed air. Buy it from an Office Supplies shop. It's used for cleaning keyboards etc. That'll do the trick.

thanks, will give it a go if i cant find anything else- not sure if the air would be worth the expense but will no doubt be alot easier than opening up the entire phone, although that may still be necessary one day to clean underneath the buttons if any stop working! saying sorry to jarrydk for hijacking the post
lol

Don't use harsh detergents, cleaning solvents or harsh chemicals to clean your phone. Wipe only with a soft cloth. To ensure a long life, keep your phone in a stable temperature. Avoid exposing your phone to liquid and/or exposing your phone to extreme temperature change from hot to cold and vice versa. This might create condensation and damage the phone.Always store your phone in a dry place. Avoid rain, high humidity and liquids. All of these may contain minerals that could corrode the electronic circuits.Rough treatment can damage electronic circuit boards so avoid dropping or unnecessarily shaking your phone.
