Hi all, somehow some moisture has gotten under my screen protector and doesn't seem to be going anywhere as it's unable to vaporise, come out. It's the official one sold. I have a spare but they are so hard to find now I don't want to use it just yet, is it possible for the screen to be reapplied after removing? Thanks

1. Remove and Reapply the Protector

If you want to remove the protector to address the moisture, here are steps to follow:

  1. Remove the Protector Carefully: Use a thin, plastic card or a similar tool to gently lift one corner of the screen protector. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or use metal tools that could scratch the screen.

  2. Clean the Screen: Once the protector is off, clean the screen with a microfiber cloth to remove any dust or residue. If necessary, use a small amount of screen-safe cleaner.

  3. Dry the Screen and Protector: Ensure the screen and the protector are completely dry before reapplying. You can let them air dry for a while or use a soft, dry cloth.

  4. Reapply the Protector: If the protector is still in good condition and clean, carefully reapply it. Make sure there are no dust particles or moisture on the screen before reapplying.

2. If the Protector Is Too Compromised

If the screen protector has been damaged or if you notice any adhesive issues after removing it, it might not adhere properly on reapplication. In this case, using the spare protector might be the best option, even if it’s a bit hard to find.

3. Alternative Solutions

  • Drying Techniques: If you’re not ready to remove the protector, placing your device in a dry, warm area might help the moisture evaporate over time. Avoid using heat sources directly on the device.

  • Professional Help: If you’re concerned about damaging the screen or if you’re unsure about removing the protector yourself, you might want to take it to a professional.

It’s always a good idea to handle screen protectors and devices gently to avoid any damage. If you have any other questions or need more specific advice, feel free to ask!
