    Hi guys,

    I recently noticed that the right side of my inspiron 9400 lcd had a lot of black dots forming. I thought they were only dead pixels, but there are 6-7 black dots situated only on the right hand side.

    I opened up MS Paint and i drew a round black dot over them, and then looked to the side of the screen. I could still see the black spec beneath the black dot, so i really think its dust.

    Does anyone know how to disassemble the actual screen itself and clean this off?

    Thanks!
