It's pretty f*cked up when you got some dust under your screen. If it's possible to get it away, your lights or something else can be damaged I think...

Well i got rid of the dust under mine but don't so much as touch the light guide as it scratches so easily <_<

You will want to use an air blower thingy, be careful about touching anything other wise you will also get sweat on it, which you won't beable to use air to get rid of and then you wil scratch everywhere.

Make sure you do the whole process very quickly (in under 1.5 minutes as dust is attracted to the screens (i believe).

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAt ANYONE WITH A FLU DO THIS

mattmagoo.... are u trying to kill me? tell me to spray water around? electric shock or even owrse, gp32 gettign busted!!! unless u meant somehtign else by that, im not listening to u anymore. im glad i didnt listen to u then. im not stupid

the water clings to dust and weighs it down so it sinks to the floor, thus removing dust from the air

I mean spray with a one of those sprayer FLASH window cleaning stuff comes in, lightly, nothing like asuper soaker or a hose

BTW: I think u'll find u are

He means to spray the water around to prepare the work area to make it less dusty... some reccomend to do it in the bathroom after it has been 'steamed' and settled to bring it as close as dust free environment as possible.

Hia,

I have a BLU and that has dust too, so it's not just the FLUs that get dusty...
