Dust under the screen....

rockwall68 · 05-19-2008, 03:24 PM

does any one know how to take the cover off of a zune 2 80gb?? somehow dust got underneath the glass protector over the screen.. any help you know would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know the details involved with removing the cover, but be warned you'll void your warranty by doing so. I'd recomend just buying a screen cover and accepting the dust you already have.

thanks for the tip, i think i might try to RMA it with microsoft...

is there any one that does know how though???

Well my friend has some extremely obvious dust beneath his as well, he called Zune, yet told them something with the system was wrong (they don't replace for dust, sorry) and they said he'd have to send it in. If they didn't find anything wrong with it, they'd send it back.

rockwall68 · 05-20-2008, 01:18 PM

dang that sux..

It happens.
I haven't owned an iPod or Zune yet that hasn't got dust underneath the screen.
Just have to accept it and try to ignore it.

MS will do nothing about it... they may give you a case number and document it, but thats all.

rockwall68 · 05-20-2008, 01:30 PM

yeah i guess...
i know this guy that replaces the glass on portable electronics.. so i thik i may give that a go..

You know what sucks more nads than dust... Broken Pixels. I have one small broken pixel on the left side of my "music, pictures" etc... and it drives me freakin' nutz.

rockwall68 · 05-20-2008, 01:44 PM

yeah at least the dust is semi-fixable

**HeXuS** · 05-20-2008, 01:46 PM

Exactly. Kinda' have to shake it around (which isn't good on the HDD inside), but you can get the dust to move.

rockwall68 · 05-20-2008, 07:04 PM

i'll give it a go thx

soccerfreak24 · 05-20-2008, 07:20 PM

Right before I sent my zune back for repair.. I realized I was getting dust under my screen! In just a few days it pissed me off beyond belief, so I'm just hoping they send me a replacement(as they always do) as apposed to a repair.

**HeXuS** · 05-20-2008, 07:41 PM

Well, there's only one way to find out.

rockwall68 · 05-21-2008, 12:51 PM

wait for it to get back??

soccerfreak24 · 05-21-2008, 12:52 PM

My friend has had his 80 gig for under a week and there's already dust!! zune really needs to fix this.

**HeXuS** · 05-21-2008, 01:13 PM

LOL, just take care of it, and buy a case.

I use my 30GB *Soft-Case* to store my 80 in. Prevented any dust from getting in it so far.

Yeah, but my zune 8 can't really scratch or anything, so I don't need a case. Just fails that I may have to use one simply to stop dust >.<

TUNDRA35 · 05-22-2008, 03:28 PM

yeah this happened to me when my 80 had random shutdowns. i just sent it back.

charmed61 · 05-22-2008, 03:36 PM
