dust under front caller ID screen?
Does anyone else here notice that there is just a small amount of dust which starte to accumulate under the front caller ID display. It's like you can't get to it yet you want to.
...
that happens to me you can remove the front cover. Open the phone and there are 2 little dots below the screen remove them with a small screw drive and there are to small philips head screws there take those out. then you will have to pry on each side with a small flat head and just wipe the screen clean then snap it back on. Hope that helps

Just know by doing this you are voiding your warranty in case anything goes wrong...if VZW recognizes this, you'll be out of luck...I've learned the hard way on another phone in a prior lifetime...

It would be your word against theirs if this ever became an issue. If you forced it they would not fight you since they would not be able to prove it. Plus, if you have the warranty coverage from Verizon it is "no fault" so you could smash the phone with a hammer and still get it replaced.

Yaeh but couldn't you like seriously mess up the phone doing that? Couldn't you just take it to a Verizon Wireless store and have the tech department fix it for you so that yo dont mess up your phone.

I would do this so if they mess up the phone, then it's THEIR responsibility versus yours...they probably won't open up the phone either, as they know it'll be a void of warranty, but strongly requesting they fix the situation is more doable.
...
I'm a little confused. So, I should have Verizon's tech department do the fix right? Is there some other way to solve the dust problem w/o opening up the screen. Im just curious is all 🤣
...
I would return the phone to a tech at VZW. Let them see it and let them determine how they want to rectify the problem...don't bak down if they say, "there's nothing we can do about it." If they take apart the phone, then you're not voiding the warranty...
Taking apart the phone yourself will void the warranty....

How about a can of compressed air the type you'd use for a computer keyboard..just my 2 cents
...
If you have a tech at a Verizon store open the phone - that does not void the warranty.

Ok, two things.
First, I tried taking mine apart, but couldn't pull the plate off once I unscrewed the screws. It felt like I was forcing it, so I decided not to try my luck.
Second, once I hit this dead end, I just took a compressed air can and shot it at the edge of the "glass" of the external display. This blew almost all the dust out.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

so, what you are saying is tha tyou still unscrewed the plate and then blew the compressed air at the edge of the screen?
...
Actually, now I can't remember if I screwed it back on before or after I blew it out... but regardless, one or the other will fix the problem with no evidence of tampering.
...
There's a really easy solution to this dust problem and I think it was mentioned somewhere along the way but I'll confirm that this absolutely works. Get a can of the air you use for computer keyboards and with the little straw that sticks in the nozzle, spray around the perimeter of the lens. The dust weill be gone. No need to take the phone apart.
...
ok so do you think that using a can of compressed air would also do the trick. YOu mean I should just spray the compressed air all around the outside of the outseide caller id dispaly? That won't mess up the phone at all?
...
I really don't think it would mess the phone up, the air is not that heavily forced. I did it with my phone and it worked like a charm.

Hello Carfanatic2 🙂 .
I have got a better idea. You can get your new phone without paying even a peny. And of course, Verizon Wireless will transfer your phonebook for free. Contact me at lifedragon81@yahoo.com. I will show you how.

I don't need a new phone though. My phone works fine now. I'ts not a probelem with the phone just a little problem with the dust situation. Oh, and by the way, thay compressed air trick doesnt' really work at all. I tried it last night. Any other helpful hints would be apprecitated though!!
