    I have some lint in my speaker grille that sits underneath the screen where the alienhead power button is, Ive used a toothbrush and canned air to try and get it out... but its still there. Its driving me crazy.

    does anyone have any suggestions for removing things stuck in the grille?

    does anyone know how to remove the grill itself?

    It's actually very easy to remove if you are not scared removing some screws..

    I have a similar problem with both the speaker grill and a keyboard key. Probably not lint, it almost looks like burnt-in dust. I know it's just small glitches, but I decided to contact EU Dell nevertheless. Should not happen on a notebook with this price tag. :)
