Re: S90 spot on lens which I can't find

My S90 is unfortunately outside the warranty period and I don't think repairing it will be worth it.

Since the whole lens assembly had to be replaced, does this mean everything is sealed so I can't access the lens at all? It seems to me that when you turn it on, exposing the lens, there's a transparent flexible piece of plastic covering the lens itself (a "lens protector filter" of some sort?). I was kind of hoping I could remove it and using a lenspen possiboy remove any gunk on the outside of the actual lens.

PS: I have actually cleaned the "lens protector filter" where there is now no trace of dirt, so whatever is causing the dark blobs must be inside somewhere.
