    LCD screen layers...

    Well, I guess I got pranked.

    I was holding an LCD by its base, but someone pulled the screws out unbeknownst to me. The base slipped out of the main cabinet and started to fall to the ground. Yow.

    I quickly tried to grab it before it hit the floor but instead the screen hit the piece of the base that I was still holding, scraping it!

    Now I suppose the scrape is better than the display hitting the floor but it still is a scrape...any suggestions on how to fix this? It seems to be a matte display and got gouged fairly deeply but the liquid doesn't leak out.

    Sounds like I need a whole panel to fix this ? Or can the top layer somehow be replaced?

    I've seen youtube videos on replacing film. Don't know were you would get polarized film
    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

      It's properly bonded to the glass, I doubt you could replace it, if you could it would be like replacing the touch screen on an AMOLED phone (go very carefully with a hot air gun and peel slowly) but on a massive screen, I would not like to do that!

        Just search for" replacing lcd polarizing film" lots of videos like these examples, like dskall said, finding the film might be tough, check this site http://www.lcdparts.net/Film3D.aspx
        some videos here

          Ah interesting. Sounds like I'm stuck with the scratch

          Oh well, at least it still works and no crack, though it is very visible *sigh*

            Can't "buff it out" with some automotive rubbing compound?

            Don't know if I'd even want to try that, lol. but maybe if you tried with a q-tip on a tiny part of the scratch. I'd probably try horizontal and vertical, rather than circles(?)

            I have tons of spare parts, some used, some N.O.S. ham transistors and caps. Message me if you need any parts.

            Some of the things I've fixed:
            60" Vizio-bad LED's. iBook G4: Resoldered VCC Plug. Geo Tracker ECU: Swollen / Leaking capacitors. Windows Laptop: Soldered broken LVDS wires. Dryer: Burned contact on temp switch. Oven in R.V.: Bad contacts in relays-Exploded by the looks of them! Samsung Oven: Burned contacts on Relays. MSI Motherboard: BSOD-Swollen capacitors, bad graphics card, Moved SATA Input from SATA 1 to SATA 2 plug

              i'm currently doing an experiment on a screen that is scratched. i'm sanding the surface and then clear coating it. not sure how it is going to pan out yet.

                OOSH! Id start on a small corner that you wont notice. Or maybe on just a tiny part of the scratch.

                I wouldn't want to EFF it up by jumping in feet first and doing the entire thing.

                  my test unit is one that has a tab bond failure that i can put pressure on to get a clear picture, so it is the perfect candidate.

                  i'm thinking that i'll need to use a matt clear.

                    It's a polarising film, put on for a reason. Matt clear will not deflect the light as the film does.

                      that is very true. luckily i would not be removing it. it is the blending over the scratched area that is the only real concern.
