Stupid crumbs

hi

i recently noticed a crumb off a cookie or something trapped between the casing and the screen. like right near the top, and its bending the screen inwards. i cant even scrape it out using a needle. anyone know a way of getting it out?

cheers

I like the ants idea, but you'd better be careful they don't carry your Axim off as their entertainment system!

to the ants, your axim would be like an imax sized plasma screen.

Try gently pressing down on the screen with your stylus right next to the crumb and while pressing, use a toothpick or something to attempt removal.

i say bring sand paper and jam it between the screen and the case and start rubbing left and right, that'll get rid of it.

u know what, carefully disassemble your unit. it's not that hard - only takes a small screwdriver. pick off the plastic grubs and reveal the screws on the corners of the unit. while taking it out, be careful with the jog dial - then press your screen inwards wiht your thumb gently - you should be able to loose it a little bit and clear the crumb out.

btw, how'd u get your crumb in the first place?
