    Default Cleaning bits of dust under a GameGear's Glass Protector?

    Hey, guys. I have a SEGA game gear and it works pretty much flawlessly. (The 2 button is a little hard to hit but I'm told this is normal) However, somehow or another bits of dust/plastic/something have managed to get under the GG's glass protector and in front of the LCD screen. I know these are not dead pixels because when I look at the unit from the top I can clearly see it sticking to the glass on the interior end. There are no screws on the glass so while the specks got in there, I cannot, from what I know. Is there any way I can wipe these off the glass without breaking my system, or should I just live with it?

    Specs under the LCD cover and on the LCD itself are the bane of my existence.

    I don't have any surefire tips for you, but if you decide to go in, avoid touching the game gear LCD. It scratches super easily.

    To remove specs and dust from LCD screens you can use the slightly sticky part of a Post-it note. Just lightly dab it and it'll pull the specs off and not leave any marks behind.
