ok just got my black razr and just a few days later i start seeing black dots very faint but once you see them they dont go away (you know what i mean..) im not sure if they are dust/dirt or dead pixels..they dont come off..ive tried whiping them with a silk cloth but nothing comes off.So has anyone else seen this before??

Your best bet would be to post pictures along with your questions. If we (collective HoFo community) can see what you are talking about then perhaps we can be of assistance.

yes but the thing is you cant really pick these up with a digi cam or anything bc they are very small but not really visable through anything else..you kinda have to look at the phone on an angle to see them..also can loading games, mp3's and crap mess up a razr? I know its a stupid question but i just noticed this today..and today is when i started loading up games on it..

actually i just was looking at the little dirt/pixel things and notice when the screen turned off i could still see them they kinda look like dust inside the screen..weird how the hell would dust get in there..

it has to be dust but i have no clue how the hell the dust gets on the inside of the screen so quickly and i have never opened it either...so im just gonna take it to Cingular and have them clean the inside lol

Mine has dust in it too, and I can't figure out how to remove it without taking the phone apart. I'm sure this is more common than we see threads for. Does anybody have recommendations for removing the dust from "behind" the display.

i found the manual for "repairing" the Razr v3 it was in some guys sig i think it was in this post actually....it will tell you how to take the whole phone apart..

i think i might end up taking it apart myself if it gets worse..

common problem with this phone...mine was loaded with dust particles inside the LCD screen...carry my phone in a case and since I am retired, am not in a dusty workplace type envoirnment...just don't think Motorola was not thinking properly when they designed the casing for the phone..no other cell phone I have had over 10 yr span had this problem...they need to revise their manufacturing method to seal this better

thank you for your reply jsk1535..i didnt know this was a common problem, i just picked up a case for it so i can try and see if it cuts down on the dust...
