Deviant0ne Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I was doing some reading online trying to find a product that would take these small scratches off of my MacBook screen, but everything I find seems to be for iPods or the outside of the MacBooks. The scratches on my screen are superficial, but they don't come out when I clean my screen with my iClean, and they bother me. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing said scratches? Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29678-macbook-screen-scratches/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 you could change plastic over the LCD. The actual LCD is made of glass. Replace the plastic with a scratch guard or similar Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29678-macbook-screen-scratches/#findComment-204943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Baron Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I had a few scratches on my iPod screen, after a bit of searching I found out that 'Brasso' works perfectly - you don't need to apply any pressure, just buff with a soft cloth. It's a very mild abrasive - took about 1hr of polishing (in 10 minute stints!) and got rid of 3 deep scratches.

Deviant0ne Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm a little weary on using Brasso on my MacBook screen... I appreciate the input, but do you have any other suggestions?

arbitrarycode Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yeeouch. This is exactly why I fear glossy screens. Any type of tiny scratch shows up plain as day. Well, you could see if you could find a parts breakdown diagram and see if you could get a replacement part for the plastic screen overlay (the screen assembly probably comes apart like the iBook's did.)

DJChee Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've had my MacBook for 4 months now, and have no scratches atm, how did you get the scratches on the screen? (Just so I know to be particularly sure not to let something happen to mine) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29678-macbook-screen-scratches/#findComment-713428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macprogrammer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 On my MacBook, I put a piece of paper in whenever I close it, to prevent this. Works great .

~pcwiz Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 its the contact of the screen with the keys on your keyboard when its closed. I thought Apple would be smart enough to leave a bit of space so that it wouldn't touch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29678-macbook-screen-scratches/#findComment-784690 Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just apply a full screen scratch guard. It will hide your scratches and prevent more from coming.

zeamp Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Depending on how bad it is, you might want to buy a new LCD on eBay and take better care of it. The screen is the absolutely last thing that's going to get damaged on my laptop. I keep all pets away from it when it's open and keep it closed religiously when I walk away in an environment that might bring it harm. I even assimilate flying bugs on sight so they don't land on it.
