Reasons and tips for New iPad with dust under screen



Recently, one of my colleagues, Lawrence has bought an New iPad( ipad 3). However, only after 5 days, he found that this new device has several tiny dusts under the screen. He is quite annoyed after the discovery. Because his iPad was parallel imports, he can never return it to Apple.
   Searching the Internet, though people have complained about this problem in many articles and threads. So far, no agreement has been reached why this would happen. From my point of view, this problem may be cause by the following reasons.
   1. Producing process: Although foundries of Apple have applied strict quality control system when manufacturing the iphone or ipad parts, absolute anti dust working environment cannot be realized. Let alone the large quantity assembling, packaging and transporting procedures.
   2. Operating environment: While using your iphone or ipad, it's impossible to avoid dust surrounding you. The only solution for this is to protect our living environment.
   3. Cosmetic structure issue: Compared with other cellphones, the most impressing point for iPhone is its unique home button on the screen. It's groundbreaking to do all work with only one physical button. However, this design also cause the problem that it's easy to let the dust access to the gap between lcd and digitizer. More often than not, the uncovered charging port and ear phone jack may also cause this problem. To avoid this, you can buy a rubber gasket to protect your device from dust.
   If unfortunately your iphone or ipad already has dust under the digitizer glass, you have 3 steps to solve this problem.
   1. If it is still under the warranty, you can go to the local Apple Shop to let them fix it.
   2. If your device is out off warranty, you could hire a local phone repair shop to clean it or try to clean it yourself. Here attached the iphone 4 assembly video for you to follow.
