removing scratch from smartphone lcd screen

[Guest kudosam]

i am planning on using a glass scratch removing powder to remove some scratches from the screen but i read here to be very careful with the screen because of some anti-static stuff as marks are left even if you touch it.

i am not planning on opening the phone, just buff the scratch from outside, will this be a problem? i don't want to do it if its going to make the problem worse.

anyone has any advice?

thx

Welcome to the site :)

Depending on the scratch be careful, remember glass has differend properties than plastic so you

may end up unfortunate results :o

there is a scratch remover available and even this can give mixed results.

Whats wrong with using some of that stuff you fix cd scratches with - thats plastic after all - and if its good enough for a cd drive laser......

thats plastic after all

Don't forget there are few thousand different types of plastic, all with

their own properties. Any thing that is abrasive on a seethrough screen

is a risk.

True enough - oh well, just a thought..... mine has a minor screenscratch too - but not really noticable when the phones on...

Hi guys ! Well due to not liking to use the wonderfull free case that comes with the phone mine has now got a hell of a lot of scratches... ITs not too bad in the right kind of light but watching movies is now not a plesent experience.

I just wondered if anyone has tried the above yet ? has it got the scratches out ?

Other than that does anyone know if someone does replacement screens ?

Cheers SPVERS !

Members have tried the scratch remover and going by past results it's a mixed bag. Some it worked but

others it was a disaster :)

As for covers have a look on ebay as sometimes dummy covers are for sale.
