My V3 motorola has so much dust inside the screen that it's almost impossible to read the screen in sunlight. Does anyone know if It's safe to take the cover off to clean or will I damage the phone? The warranty has run out so and I have emailed motorola but surprise surprise they have not replied.
Thanks in advance

1. Get a pin with a sharp head. A sewing needle will do fine.

2. Wedge the pin under the top corner of the screen.

3. Apply pressure, and lift up the corner of the thin plastic screen (it is stuck down with some "re-positional glue").

4. Take a card (any plastic card like a credit card) and place it under the corner you just lifted from the screen. Slowly slide the card downwards, then left. Continue all the way around the screen.

5. Use a good quality cloth to clean the screen of the V3, and the plastic screen you just removed.

6. Position the plastic screen back into place, and apply firm pressure for a few seconds.

Be careful. Don't be too rough with the screen. It can bend quite a bit, however it does have a breaking point.
Just to let you know, I found this information and have not tried this myself with a Motorola V3.

However, I have removed the screen from my phone in an almost identical way and it was fine.
