So I've had my MacBook Pro for a little over a year, during that time I've accumulated quite a number of dust specks in my display. As far as I know my warranty has already expired. I planned on sending it to get it serviced but due to using my laptop everyday it wasn't possible to take this action. So now, after reading many blogs on 'taking apart your mac' I've decided to give it a try to take apart my display. Has anyone done this before and have any advice ? or has anyone ever had such problem before ?
Thank You.

Dust *in* the display? Are you sure? You can't take apart the LCD without basically destroying it, so that's not really an option. Do you have pictures? If its really that bad, the more realistic solution is to get a new panel instead of trying to clean the existing one.

Don't open display! if it is really dust, then the seal is broken, and you might be able to vacuum it out with a normal vacuum hose with some Blue painters tape to limit suction to gap!

I do not think is dust... I think it could be the sparkle effect that hit several mac book pros.

I wonder if it's at all similar to the "dust" that my Sega Game Gear developed.

It's dirt, in the display, see this thread: http://forums.macnn.com/69/powerbook...dirty-screens/
There's a general manufacturing fault with Apple screens, they are even arriving as new service parts with dirt in the screens (I've had at least three swapped).
This isn't the grain effect others are seeing.
