My Streak 7 has what appears to be a small gap between the main case and the display on the left side. This appears to have also let some dust get in between the layer and the LCD screen itself. Is there anything I can do about this?

Anyone who can suggest a fix? I tried to use a vacuum with a crevice tool to see if that would work, but evidently while the opening lets dust in, it can't be used to get dust out. Is the gap there to allow you to pry off the screen by chance?

Help... please?

Do NOT disassemble unless you've had experience and you have the right tools. Even WITH the right tools, I managed to crack the piano black plastic on the non-hard-button side of the screen :( I guess my heat gun wasn't quite sufficient to melt the adhesive, but I usually don't try to get my electronics too hot anyway.
