    That would depend on how deep the scratch is. This tip was told to me, Spray a little WD-40 in the scratch and let it sit for a minute or so. Rub it out with a micro soft cloth. Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

        I tend to use Tcut for getting scratches off the screen. The thought came to me when realising that I have used it before to clean the front lenses of the headlights on cars before. This works providing it hasn't gone through very deep, but worth a try You will need to clean the screen after use though.
        Good luck

          Be careful with that. Most screens now have a coating for glare purposes and that will remove the coating making it worse. I know as I have tried.

          sometimes you can use an eraser the the old pink square ones and lightly rub it. Sometimes it works but usually helps make it less noticeable if nothing else

            Some good quality toothpaste on a soft cotton cloth and buff in circles with light pressure so as not to crack the screen. Toothpaste has microscopic granules in it almost like a very fine sandpaper. Works great for light scratches. Won't harm any screen films. Just wipe off with damp wet rag or paper towels. Won't work for deep scratches though.

                Indeed it does take off some of it, however when you have the screen on it is barely noticeable. I have also used the Tcut on monitors as well with a reasonable amount of success.

                  Matte finish lcd surface is the common one, it has a plastic foil called polarizer, if it is removed the image cannot be displayed, since it is probably hard plastic type like pvc , i know pure acetone can dissolve abs, maybe also pvc, the goal is to try apply it only in the trace, one can try a child marker pen (sorry dont remember the name) , remove the "ink cartridge", and put the acetone, pass the tip along the.scratch and wait the borders melts toghether.. it's an idea..

                    Problem

                    This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                    Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                    by Ryan.man
                    Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                    My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                    This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                    Hantek 365 Remove screen on startup
                    by Maxpower3
                    every time I open the tool, I have the screen that appears
                    and I am always in a hurry to use it so I click and it automatically sends me a link to the manufacturer.

                    It annoys me lol.

                    2 solutions to remove it.

                    Either you remove pic.bmp and it no longer appears so no more links when clicking.


                    or else you can modify the exe to remove the .bmp


                    hope this helps users...

                    iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
                    by smic717394
                    Hi,

                    I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

                    Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
                    by Chrissygizmo
                    Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                    I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...
