scratch on lcd screen manufacturer

Found this...dont know if it helps....this was for a computer lcd screen not sure if its the same for the lcd screen on the back of digital cameras. Maybe someone else could suggest an alternative.

1. First of all apply diluted isopropyl alcohol (50/50 with water) with a clean cotton cloth on the surface of the screen. This should make the surface clear of any dirt and then you can put Vaseline in the trough of scratch. Gently wipe the Vaseline left off the scratch. This should fill the scratch with Vaseline and you can again enjoy gaming or watching videos on your screen.

2. You can also do this trick to get you rid of the scratch if the scratch is particularly harsh. Start with cleaning the surface with diluted isopropyl alcohol (50/50 with water) as mentioned in previous way. Apply a bit of auto rubbing compound the scratched surface and polish the area. After that, use a piece of paper and make a very small hole (5mm) in its centre to spray clear lacquer on the surface. Leave the surface to dry after that.

I do take extreme care when replacing screens but the screen shattered on this one & the tool i was using to get the shattered bits of glass off slipped

Magic erasers are usually used for cleaning up messes, but could they clean up scratches? Yup. It wiped out small scratches on the phone"s screen in just a few seconds. Taylor Martin has a tutorial on how to make your own magic erasers for just around $0.10 (£0.07 or AU$0.14) each.

Wiping a screen with toothpaste (not the gel kind) supposedly works for fixing scratched screens. All it did in my tests was make the screen shinier and seemed to add small abrasion marks. I also tried toothpaste on a plastic screen protector, such as the kind that comes with OtterBox phone cases. It worked great on that! So it"s a no for screens, but a yes for plastic screen protectors.

Erasers work great for making scratches disappear. I used a white rubber eraser, but you can also use the type that"s found on the end of a pencil. Simply rub the scratch left and right with the eraser for about 60 seconds, and then rub it up and down for 60 seconds. The friction softens the eraser and it fills in the scratch. Don"t press down too hard, though!

Car waxes and headlight lens creams are supposed to be effective at removing scratches on screens, so I gave Mothers PowerPlastic 4Lights headlight cream a try. It made the scratches fade significantly, and l liked the shine it gave my screen.

A paste of two parts baking soda to one part water has been bandied about as a great screen fixer. Nope. It just made the screen really shiny. Plus, the moisture in the paste could damage your device.

According to the internet, coconut oil can solve just about any problem. Shockingly, it didn"t work well on phone scratches. Like with the petroleum jelly, it just made the phone super slippery.

I wasn"t sure about this tip. Sites say to mix the corn starch with a little water to make a paste, rub it on the screen with a soft cloth, and then wipe it off. It didn"t do anything to the scratches, but it made the screen shiny.

OK, this one freaked me out. A lot. Putting gooey, oily stuff on electronics is never a good idea, but I gave it a shot in the name of science. I dabbed a bit on as recommended, and rubbed it into the screen with a tissue. As I feared, all it did was make the test screen oily and sticky.

Why do people think it"s a good idea to rub food on their phones? Nope, rubbing a banana peel on your screen won"t help it. I tried it a couple different ways and it just left a crusty mess that is hard to remove.

Powdered cleanser like Bar Keepers Friend, Comet, Ajax and the like seem a good idea for buffing out scratches. They are slightly abrasive, so you"d think they"d polish your screen to a gleaming scratch-free shine. Well, they don"t. They can even leave new little scratches on your screen. Yah, this test didn"t go well.

Mitsubishi Electric company from Japan is well-known the world over for large-screen display panels and industrial-strength LCD monitors. Some of the popular models in use today include the Mitsubishi LDT461V industrial monitor along with the MDT461S and MDT402S LCD monitors.

You may notice that all of these monitors are pretty big in size, ranging from 40-46 ″. To make a comparison, they are similar to the sizes common among plasma televisions, but the technology that powers them is pure LCD.

And like any other LCD monitor manufactured in past two decades, there are two problems that affect even the Mitsubishi monitor– (1) Scratched screen, and (2) Dead backlight.

Since Mitsubishi LCDs are used as industrial-grade displays, the front panel is pretty strong and resistant to scratching. There’s a manufacturing difference between screens used in an industrial setup and one installed in homes.

In the latter case, chances of minor yet visible scratches across the screen are pretty high. The quick fix is to either use a little toothpaste to “fill in” the scratch gaps, or to use a white eraser and vigorously (but gently) rub over the visible scratches.

Make sure it is a brand new one that has never been used before if you’re using an eraser. I’ve tried this scratch repair trick on certain projection TVs and it works fine there.

The second problem is that of backlight repair. The backlight is a thin CCFL tube that lights up the monitor screen. It is powered by an inverter board that converts low-voltage DC input to high-voltage AC output.

A regular backlight bulb lasts anywhere from 3-5 years before it loses part of its brightness. As time progresses, the whole screen goes black and you have no option but to replace the backlight.

Backlight failure is a problem that affects all LCD monitors– including Mitsubishi– though the lifespan will vary based on how you operate it and the quality of in-built electronic components.

The easiest way to repair a LCD backlight is to get a compatible replacement from eBay or the manufacturer’s website. For the most part, you don’t need to buy a new inverter as the existing one can be reused.

The second problem is that of backlight repair. The backlight is a thin CCFL tube that lights up the monitor screen. It is powered by an inverter board that converts low-voltage DC input to high-voltage AC output.

We are developing healthier, safer, and more efficient products and processes so that you will benefit. For example, our dust-free sanding systems help protect the lungs when sanding while giving a cleaner and better surface finish.

A word to the wise. You must use caution and common sense when attempting this procedure or you can easily make things worse.  At our affordable Pittsburgh cleaning services company, we don’t clean flat screen TVs but I still felt this writing might prove very useful to you.

This is a technique that you can use to remove light scratches from flat screen and LCD TVs safely.  Scratches can result from some of the most innocuous, everyday items such as a piece of newspaper, a magazine, or tiny claw nails from pet cats and dogs and even fingernails from children. Any of these items and many more can unintentionally brush against your flat screen TV, leaving a scratch that’s usually visible whether the television in turned on or off.

The secret to removing light scratches from your flat screen TV is to use the proper tools along with a careful tried and true technique. To begin with, you’ll need a bottle of Isopropyl alcohol which is normally found in grocery stores, drug stores, and, hardware stores. Don’t use any other type of alcohol as it will damage your screen beyond repair.

Next and just as important is a soft clean microfiber cleaning cloth that most professional cleaning services use when cleaning client’s homes. They’re usually found at WalMart and Target stores. Again don’t substitute any other cleaning cloth or damage is likely to occur.

A quick word of caution –  never use Windex, glass cleaner, or other window cleaning solutions on your flat screen TV.  Never use paper towels on your Flat Screen TV, as this is one of the quickest routes to permanently damaging your flat screen or LCD with thousands of little scratches.

I once didn’t follow this advice and used a paper towel on reading glasses.  I didn’t use excessive force, but it didn’t matter!  I quickly discovered I damaged my expensive eyeglasses beyond repair.

This one little mistake is how most folks ruin their TV screen.  The same applies to cell phone screens, Ipads, laptops, and desktops.  All of these surfaces should only be cleaned lightly with a soft microfiber cloth.

Before starting, first mix a 50/50 solution (half Isopropyl alcohol and half distilled water) in a liquid safe container.  Be sure the container is clean, not only of small dirt particles but also of any lingering chemicals from prior use. Use Isopropyl alcohol that is rated at 90% pure so that when mixing a 50/50 solution the final result is perfect for the task at hand.

Dip your microfiber cloth into the solution and wring it out so it’s slightly damp. Begin by gently rubbing the scratch on the TV in a circular motion.  Use care as it’s important not to rub too hard or friction from the microfiber cloth can make the scratch worse.

After a bit, the scratch should begin to disappear as the Isopropyl alcohol in your cleaning solution evaporates.  If the scratch does not begin to disappear or becomes worse stop immediately.  You may have a scratch that needs a professional’s attention.

Remember, the easiest way to remove scratches from your flat screen and LCD TV is to prevent them in the first place. Hope this article helps you to restore your screen like new.

The easiest and, in my opinion, best option is to just buy a new monitor, or see if Dell can fix the scratch for you (if the scratch is not covered under warranty, be prepared to cough up)

I just got my NIB WOZ ECLE this evening and have been really enjoying it. After getting my initial games in I decided to update the software and while taking the time to closely examine things I noticed what I thought was a hair on the back glass. When I looked closer I saw that it was actually a scratch on the monitor underneath the glass. When I removed the back glass I could also tell that I was not the first to notice since with the glass off I could see there were smudgy finger prints across the scratch where I guess someone tried to rub it out with their finger. So while it"s a little disappointing that the scratch was noticed at the factory and not handled there I totally understand that things happen it was probably small enough to not trigger any action. After all it"s barely noticeable and had I not been staring at the screen watching the update I probably would never had noticed just playing the game.

So my question is, is there a safe way to remove a scratch from the WOZ LCD screen? I guess it really applies to any LCD screen. The scratch is small (about 1/2" long but deep enough that running a soft cloth over the area i can feel a slight ridge.

Accidental Damage is any damage due to an unintentional act that is not the direct result of a manufacturing defect or failure. Accidental damage is not covered under the standard warranty of the product. Such damage is often the result of a drop or an impact on the LCD screen or any other part of the product which may render the device non-functional. Such types of damage are only covered under an Accidental Damage service offering which is an optional add-on to the basic warranty of the product. Accidental Damage must not be confused with an occasional dead or stuck pixel on the LCD panel. For more information about dead or stuck pixels, see the Dell Display Pixel Guidelines.

No, accidental damage is covered for Dell computers or monitors which are covered under the Accidental Damage Service offering for that specific product.

For more information about Dell Limited Hardware Warranty and Dell"s Accidental Damage service offering, see the Dell Warranty & Support Services page.

NOTE: Other damages may be considered customer induced if determined by Dell Technical Support, an on-site field engineer, or at the mail-in repair center.

The LCD glass on the display is manufactured to rigorous specifications and standards and will not typically crack or break on its own under normal use. In general, cracked, or broken glass is considered accidental damage and is not covered under the standard warranty.

Internal cracks typically occur due to excessive force on the screen. This can be the result of some object hitting the screen, a drop, attempting to close the lid while an object is on the keypad area, or even holding the laptop by its screen.

Spots typically occur due to an external force hitting the screen causing damage to the LCD panel"s backlight assembly. While the top layer did not crack or break, the underlying area was compressed and damaged causing this effect.

If your Dell laptop LCD panel has any accidental damage but the laptop is not covered by the Accidental Damage service offering, contact Dell Technical Support for repair options.

Dell monitors cannot be repaired by an on-site field engineer or at the mail-in repair center. If you notice any damage to the monitor, you must purchase a new monitor.

I had something kinda similar (it was a bug irregular shadow) but it only appeared after the monitor had become hot after being on for quite a while. I sent it in under warranty and after a bit of back-and-forth I got a new monitor.

I"m not sure exactly what the composition of the LCD screen on the X-Pro1 is, but it does seem to scratch more easily than other cameras I"ve owned.  I"ve never put a screen protector on any digital camera that I"ve owned, and even after several years of use, none of them have shown any noticeable scratches.  After owning my X-Pro1 for less than two weeks, there were already a couple of noticeable marks (not really scratches) on it.  I own several vintage watches with acrylic crystals, and I routinely polish them with a little toothpaste to remove light scratches.  I tried this on my X-Pro1 with no success.

I bought an X-100 used over a year ago.  The original owner had placed one of those flexible film type protectors over the screen, and it has held up well and shows no scratches or marks.  I bought a three pack of them on eBay sized for the X-Pro1 and put one on it to hopefully prevent any further marking.  The screen protector also seems to minimize the visibility of the existing marks on the screen underneath it.

The portable nature of laptops make them very useful, but also more susceptible to damage. Repairing the damage is often also costly because all the laptop components are integrated. The LCD screen of a laptop is particularly prone to scratches. Instead of paying to replace the scratched screen, you may be able to repair the damage, provided that it is not too severe, and save your business some money. When attempting the repairs, take the proper precautions to avoid doing even more damage.

Welcome to a guide on how to remove scratches on computer screens. Oh no! There is an ugly scratch mark on the screen, and it is very annoying every time you use the computer. Fear not. If the scratch is not too deep, there might still be hope with some “home and Internet remedies”.

A short disclaimer though. While I have personally tried and tested some of these methods, they are not proven to be 100% effective. But in any case, there’s no harm in trying out some of the “low risk” possible fixes – Read on!

Erasers are one of the most common and easy “remedies” that we techies use. Just use a soft rubbery pencil eraser (not those rough abrasive types) to gently rub on the scratch mark – It seems to work pretty well in removing light scratches, and it cleans off stubborn pieces of stuck dirt as well.

Have a very dirty screen with a lot of small scratches everywhere? Then you will need to get a cleaning cloth, some cotton buds, a soft brush, and cleaning alcohol (90% isopropyl alcohol from pharmacies will also do the trick).

First, apply the alcohol evenly over the screen. Be careful of the edges around the screen, and not get the alcohol inside – It will damage the electronics. Wipe it down with the cleaning cloth, and use cotton buds to target stubborn spots. This should pretty much restore any old screens back into their “shiny state”.

Note – I know the above is not a “scratch repair” video, but that is a very good demonstration of how to restore an old computer screen using cleaning alcohol.

There are actually quite a lot of these “Mythbusters” videos on the Internet that toothpaste does not remove scratches. Personally, I have tried it and it works – But only on micro scratches.

Lastly, apply the toothpaste to the screen, use a cleaning cloth and rub it in a circular manner – The whole idea is to use the toothpaste as a screen polish.

This is another trick that we techies use to hide the scratches, and yep, just about any petroleum jelly-based product will work. All we need is to gently rub the cream into the “scar”, it should start to “blend in” and fade the scratch mark. Take note though, that it seems to only work on matte plastic screens and not the glossy glass ones.

This is kind of an “enhanced method” of the above windscreen polish. If there are a lot of micro-scratches on the screen, you can try applying a wet piece of very fine sandpaper (2000 grit) in circular motions to get rid of them first.

Then, complete the treatment with windscreen polish and car wax. The whole process requires quite a lot of elbow grease and patience, but it does restore the screen back to its “default factory shiny state”… Maybe even better.

Once upon a time in the bronze age of the Internet, people would use mashed bananas and baking soda to repair the scratched CDs… A very eco-friendly way of repairing stuff, non-toxic too. If it works on the plastic of a CD, then it should also technically work on plastic computer screens.

Personally, a combination of cleaning alcohol and Vaseline seems to work the best; Cleaning alcohol to remove the gunk, and Vaseline to cover the micro scratches. But take note, this worked on plastic screens, not glass.

If you run your fingers across the scratch mark, and it catches your fingernail. That is probably too deep to be fixed with the above home remedies, and it’s better to replace the entire screen.
