Can I remove a hair from inside my Dell LCD monitor?

July 15, 2004 9:37 AM

I just got my new refurbished Dell desktop, and noticed there's a hair trapped behind the glass of the flat-panel monitor. It's just big enough to be annoying, not big enough to definitely warrant sending the thing back. Any way I could crack this baby open myself and get it out?

It should be covered by warranty right? The entire system, so I'd suggest calling Dell and bitchin' instead of voiding your warranty.

If it's a pube, I'd ask for a free Dell Jukebox or something in compensation.

Could be.

I'd call. If you make a stink about it being a pube, you can probably get a little more than a new lcd.

Hah! If you say it's a pube, please keep us posted of the outcome.

A can of compressed air is your friend.
