Does anyone know the best way to remove debris that has gotten trapped inside the roller housing keeping the screen from retracting properly?

The only maintenance I do on my screen is close our front door and the screen and hose them both off. I live in So. Cal and it's always rolled up unless the front doors open. It's not exposed to much debris in its location. We do LOVE our screen, it's been a few years and it still works great! I painted a monogram on the screen to make it easier to see so people don't walk into it. Good luck.

Nothing you can do. I removed my screen protector and no more bubbles or trapped dirt.

The roller may is defective if it is leaving behind a residue. The residue is harmless and can be easily removed with a soapy sponge or isopropryl alcohol.

I spray some screen cleaner on the cloth and wipe off any smudges on the case as well. I use a cleaner made by GE.

Mine shattered and luckily the original screen was perfect! We used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. It was easy.

I had a similar issue. Remove the unit from the wall (it should just slide off). Use a cloth napkin and rubbing alcohol to wipe off the screen. Let it air dry and then put it back on. The oils from your fingers smudge up the screen (even though you can't see anything on the surface). The rubbing alcohol dissolves and cleans the screen and evaporates quickly. Very important that you remove it from the wall first as if there is any current running through it, the liquid can complete and short out a circuit.

If the entire sheet is in among the rollers you will need professional help to get it out. When I had part of a insulating sleeve partially caught in it I took off the upper heat shield over the rollers and ran it in reverse and used a very dull butter knife to dig/pry it out. Ideally I would not recommend this as there is a possibility of damaging the rollers and or being electrocuted (the knife I used was all metal without a insulating handle). I was lucky to get it all out otherwise I would have had to replace the laminator (Like too many things these days that would have been cheaper than paying to fix it).

I had a similar problem, and discovered a tiny piece of paper blocking the paper entry slot. I was able to remove it by passing through the paper entry site a very thin piece of plastic sheeting back and forth through every area of the entry slot to push out, what I then discovered was the tiny piece of paper that was 'jamming' the 'roller from revolving and grabbing a sheet to print. It corrected the problem and my printing began again.

There are several ways they can be cleaned. If you are just using the magnetic frame to stick it to your PC case, just take it off and wash it in the sink with warm water and soap. If you have screwed the screen onto your fan mount, then you are stuck with using a vacuum cleaner attachment to suck the dust off the screen.

I just wash it with some soap and water, and you can use a light wire brush or pipe cleaner to clear the screen. Depending on what you're grinding, you can also dip a cotton swab in some rubbing alcohol to clean the threads or other sticky areas. Hope this helps!

I would try using monitor wipes, or sanitizer. sanitizer works for alot of things.

Just twist the whole screen assembly counter clockwise. Either hold it carefully or work over a safe surface because the assembly will fall off quickly.

Probably sucked up something in the roller. When this happens to mine I stop it and restart, usually all is well. Hope this helps

There are screws in the top, sides and the back at the top border. Just take them out and lift the case from the sides. It should come right off. I did it to remove a disc that was jammed.

Same issue here - I'm going to try and get a refund; the issue is that the thing has so much of an electrostatic charge, that unless you're in a clean room it WILL attract particles from anywhere. Once it gets onto the back of the screen, good luck getting it off without leaving permanent marks on the back, which of course are very visible once applied.

I have been having the same issue with mine, the manual suggests the use of adhesive tape to remove dust from the adhesive. I haven't tried it yet, will let you know what works, looking forward to replies on this post for other innovative ideas on cleaning...
