Hello all. Is there any easy low-risk way to clean my T68i? I haven't tried opening it and would rather no venture it that unless it's the only thing I can do. There's little particules of dust between the edge of the screen and phone itself. This is the accumulation which you get by living somewhere as dusty as I do. I have managed to remove most of it using a pin but don't want to do that again for fear of scratching the phone. It's cleaner but not as clean as it was before. Any ideas? If I need to open it, how do I do that?

get an old toothbrush, take the battery off and give it the once over...very effective.
some cloth between the joystick will get rid of built up dirt then just blow the rest out...careful it blows up into your eyes.

I use a small hobby paintbrush. Normally used for painting models etc.
Cut the bristles off to about half their original length. They will clean more effectively as they are in effect stiffer that before.

Don't be afraid to remove the cover, get some compressed air and blow the phone clean. |

If you use a brush your phone might get scratched because the brush pushes the particles on the phone itself.. The best is to use air. Also, in photograph shop you can get brush a small air-pump. I use that for my camera and it works very well. |

I mean brush WITH a small air-pump. The air-pump is nothing but a plastic pocket you need to press. |

Mimzo, I know what you mean about the dust on the edges (California has A LOT of dust). A toothbrush isn't enough to get that crap out, so what I do is just cut a piece of paper, and slide it in between the edges, and it gets all that crap out

I disasemble my 68 every now and then, to change the cover and to blow it clean. |
