How do I clean a 41CX display? Message #1 Posted by Egan Ford on 26 July 2007, 8:20 p.m. My very nice fullnut 41CX has dust on the display behind the glass. What is the best way to clean this? This 41CX is nearly flawless (just a bit of wear on the feet), so I want to be careful. Thanks.

I used that technique once with success, it blows the dust 'away', meaning out of sight. The thread also mentioned to be very careful to not have the air-can upside down as then liquid can seep under the display and that wont go away so quickly. Maybe I can find the thread or info again and then I will repost it, but I know I have cleared a couple of full-nut(!) displays from dust (afair, this does not work for halve-nuts) Cheers Peter
