    Most of these Laptop Screens get Worn in the same place...

    .....it's the edge of the palm-rest, along the edge
    of the keyboard, where the space bar is.

    I've seen many LCD screens get scuffed from the
    edge there. It's not a scratch per se, but it's not
    something you can buff out easily, and it usually
    pretty visible when you are using the computer.
    Apparently, the tolerances aren't easily controlled,
    and in the effort to make these slimmer, the screens
    rub against the palm-rest when closed.

    It's too bad, because the re-sale value of a used laptop
    greatly depends on the clarity of the LCD screen.

    I wonder if some polishing compound rubbed in could take it off? I will have to try it next time I have one of these.

      Good question. Some people apparently have
      had success removing scratches with an eraser,
      which also removes the matte finish, so it's a
      noticeable repair unless the screen is on.

      But dunno if that would work in this case.
      Perhaps those car scratch-remover polishes,
      with a buffing wheel on a dremel tool? might be
      too strong....

        Issues with new Surface Pro 5 screens

        I have three Microsoft Surface Pro 5 model 1796, with all cracked screens.
        Have bought from Aliexpress three new screens, the part numbers from my and the seller are the same:

        Bad working China screen part number:


        Good working own screen part number


        Error I get with the bad working China screen:


        No error with the good working own screen:



        All the three China screens (all the same exact part numbers) produce the same error in Device manager. Have also performed a clean installation...

        Does anyone know about 16x2 LCD screens used in alarm keypads?
        by Ady2017
        I have got an old Gardtec GT595 alarm which has got a faulty keypad with a failed LCD screen. This was apparently a very common problem with these and many people have had to replace the whole alarm because of this problem. Somebody claims to be able to repair the keypads by replacing the screen and I have tried it myself by replacing the LCD with a commonly available HD44780 1602 16x2 Serial LCD screen but it is not working. I am sure it is a problem with a driver or simular which is not allowing the screen to talk to the rest of the electronics. Does anyone know what this original screen was...

        Dell Latitude 5420, Coloured screens from one colour to another continuous.
        by Dan20701
        Hello all, I have a Dell Latitude 5420, before I upload the bios I thought I would ask. All I am getting is are coloured screens from one colure to another continuous that's all its doing.
        I have searched on google some say this is a graphics problem and not a bios problem. I did try another bios file from the forum it stops at the Dell logo.
        With the original chip fitted I am getting error code 3 amber and 3 white flashes.

        Any advice please ?.​

        fixing flat two tv screens
        by rookiecap
        I am trying to fix two flat tv screens. They have problems that I am not familiar how to deal with and if they are fixable at all.

        1) the first TV is RCA 32: LCD combo tv+dvd, model RLCDV3282A-B. It was distorting images in sync with sounds. The sounds were distorted too. Then it was shutting down automatically. I replaced all visible electrolytic capacitors on power supply board. After repair, the image and sound are restored but tv still shuts downs unexpectedly usually after couple of minutes. I do not know what to do next. What might be the culprit and how to trace/inspect...
