Scratches on m14xr2 screen panel
Hey guys, I was just cleaning the plastic screen panel on my M14XR2 when I noticed a couple of light scratches running across it. It seems like I packed my bag too tightly and the screen was rubbing up against the keyboard. After a bit of browsing I found out that you can remove and polish scratches off this panel, however having had no experience of scratch removal, and with no idea what kind of plastic the panel is made of I was wondering if someone could suggest a good product/method for this? I know you can remove the panel as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08u-nz6dSpg&list=PLq-K8e5zw2c26yNP9U84t3xnpQRKgcHhZ ...but I'm not sure this is strictly necessary. Any thoughts on the best way to get rid of these scratches? Thanks in advance!

Hi Satchelmouth,
I request you not to follow this procedure to remove the panel as screen/screen panels are one of the delicate components of the computer. You may want to take the computer to any Local technician who can remove the panel and clean it but there is no way to completely clean the scratches if they are deep.

Hi Satchelmouth,
Small dab of clean water, very soft cotton cloth, and gently rub on the screen with it (To remove smudges). Or, purchase a screen cleaner from most computer stores. Although scratches could not be erased by doing this.
# Never spray or pour any liquid directly on the LCD panel.
# Do not clean the screen while it is on.

Hi Satchelmouth,
I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned by me in the above post. If that doesn’t work you can take the computer to a technician and they will suggest you if LCD panel or plastic screen protector, also they will tell if they have any liquids for the same.
