Maybe age has something to do with it, but I'm not as anal as I used to be.
The flecks in the top right corner are barely obvious and only while reading
at night with the sidelights on. I'd be a little more patient with Sony since
they are the ones who initiated the contact in the first place. You can
probably followup with them after a few weeks (of processing time) and
perhaps they can even re-direct your/our concern to a different dept.
My dust spots aren't anywhere near as bad as you post, but you obviously
use your reader a lot more than I do (at least at night)
Since I use my reader as a research tool, its not that big of deal for me.
However, the only thing I can think of that Sony might be able to do for us
is swap the unit out with a Rev. "B" unit once the production line has been
modified to correct the gaps (if any) Tonight I will blast some pressurized air
and see if the dust specks are entering from the moldings corners.
Igorsk was able to access the underside of the panel by carefully lifting the touch
panel off the device without incident. The only thing holding down the touchpanel
is re-seelable adhesive. Of course, you may void your warranty so I'd wait to
see what Sony offers/does.
