    What exactly is it that you've got stuck there, because my screen also has what looks to a few dust particles. Can't notice it with the laptop on though. I believe the only way to get to that area would be to do a teardown of the laptop, albeit not an entire teardown. As for the tutorial:

    Post back on how you go, and g'luck!

    this is what it looks like its small but notice able and not just dust so may have a look at taking the screen apart but as dell say i have to send it back to the depot and that will take 3 weeks and i really want to play skyrim when it comes out.

    What Mexic00l is saying is correct in that you will have to tear the screen off the lcd display, and will basically destroy your current screen. You will probably have to replace the screen afterwards.
