LCD Damage

**desraid** · 19-09-2005 03:43 PM

Hi guys.
I found a small scratch on my LCD with sharp object.
That scractched spot is brighter than the rest and it's annoying.
Any ideas to fix this kind of problem or anywhere I can get this sorted?

maybe you can burn a darker image into the LCD by displaying a certain colour for a long time.

take it to supllier and tell them it burst hope for the best

otherwise buy a new one

what about simple clear wax? Not hard, liquid that you can rub and spread around gently to smooth out the scratch.

Yea - try with some candle wax first to see if it'll create the desired effect.
Easy to remove candlewax it r.

so sad.

Sorry to say...but the outer film on most displays is the actual display.

ummm its like replacing the tube of a monitor or tv, might as well buy a new one if the tube has to be replaced

Try to find a replacement glass for your CRT. It's not a reason to stay with CRT. Other reasons yes....both have their good and bad points, but your reason is not one of them

Maybe using tooth-paste (the white one) to polish out the mark.. (IF its not too deep) it works very well on scratched CD's

If it is not a very deep scratch, try Mr.Min. It won't take the scratch away, but might make it "disappear". I use it on slightly scratched CDs. I would stay away from polish (especially car polish) as this can cause finer scratches (don't know about the toothpaste though

).

hmm... rubbing off the scratch is bit risky.
