DSi screen protector problem
« on: July 15, 2009, 06:23:47 PM »
Hey guys,

I've had my DSi since the US launch, along with the official Japanese Hori screen protectors.
I hadn't used it for a few weeks then decided to open it.
And this is what I saw:

The bottom screen protector looks like this! I tried to clean it but that blurriness thingy seems to be between the protector and the screen itself. What should I do? can I remove it and try to apply it again? do I need to buy another one?
I have no idea where the heck this came from! Maybe because of the heat?  ???

If you are using a screen protector, make sure that it is licensed by Nintendo. Unlicensed screen protectors may affect the visibility of the screen you are using it on. For more information on licensed products, please click here.

Well, the Hori screen protectors ARE licensed by Nintendo in Japan.

That's all I could find on the matter. Other people are having the same issue, but I've not come across any solution yet. Sorry :/

Remove the screen protector.  Is the film on the DSi screen itself?

@Stratos: it's ok.
@vudu: I'm not sure, I need to check it out.

I think I may try to order another screen protector, they're only 3 bucks on play-asia.

They're generally reusable.

The first step is to remove the screen protector and find out if the film is on the DSi screen or on the screen protector.  Then clean whatever's dirty and replace the screen protector.

Ok so the film is on the screen protector. I'm gonna try to clean it and put it back.

edit: hmmm, I'm not sure how to clean this. I tried to clean it with plain water and dry it with a soft cloth but when I re-apply it, I have like a million air bubbles between the protector and the screen and can't seem to make them go away.  ???

Make sure the screen protector is dry.  You may have to leave it out in the open air for a couple hours to ensure all the water has evaporated.

Apply the screen protector slowly starting from one side and smooth it out with a credit card edge.
