722 plastic panels on front of receiver bubbling up

[dmorack]

My 722 receiver I just received less than a month ago for replacing a defective 622 that was constantly rebooting is bubbling up on the front left hand access panel excessively and the center access panel under the mode light. I cannot eliminate the air bubbles, nor do I know the cause. The unit is behaving normally except for this unsightly appearance. I was hoping the cause was just protective plastic covers over these panels needing to be removed, however I don't see how to remove these air bubbles or the plastic, and when I contacted Dish there response was "Don't worry about it" and that this sometimes happened due to humidity.

Has anybody had a similar issue with their receiver and what is the cause and solution?

I have never seen this, had my 722k about a year now. Did you remove the clear plastic "protective" film that was on it when it was new?

I noticed those bubbles on mine, but since it's in an equipment closet, it doesn't bother me. I assumed it was just the plastic protective film and that this would come off easily if I ever felt the need. Are you saying that you can't remove this plastic film at all?

You assumed right, it's just a protective film and you can remove it if you want to. OP, can you remove it?

I think it is the plastic. It's not easy to find the edges of that plastic, but believe me it's there. If you have any fingernails just scrape all the corners until you can grasp the plastic.

Hah... Give the guy a break... The plastic is hard to remove, especially if you don't have any fingernails .
