is there anyway to really fix scratches on an lcd monitor?

Honestly no. Scratches on an lcd monitor are permanent. If you hear about anybody selling products that will magically make the scratches disappear, I guarantee you that it is a scam. If the scratch is serious, then the pixels around the scratched area are also destroyed, meaning the individual light particles can no longer be correctly be displayed in that area.

if you have a lcd monitor there is no reason to have a screen saver. the images no longer get burnt into the monitor like they did in the old days of computing

No no no!! There is a special screen polish for electronic devices. I used that and it is great. Its called displex you can get it on ebay.

green lines are dead pixels the only way to fix problem is if you have a warranty send it to the manufacturer to replace lcd screen or...new laptop...sorry it cant be fixed any other way..its dead

I think your monitor needs to be replaced or repaired. The faded spots are burn spots from the monitor being on or are spots where the pixels are dying. It's not something that can be cleaned.

Stains on the screen?  I don't know about that.\n\nYou may be able to use (like) "Ajax with bleach" on plasic parts.  (Dab it onto a damp cloth or sponge and rub over stain.  Rinse well.)

wipe the disc with a lens cleaner cloth (for glasses)- its a very smooth type of material. anything else could scratch it

That depends.  Is the scratch just in the green part of the board?  If so, that most likely won't be a problem, because that is essentially just insulation.  If the scratch is through any of the "lines" on the board (the electricity travels through these, the technical term is a "trace"), then you will most likely need to repair them.  You will just need to make sure there is an electrical connection between the broken lines -- Google a "conductive pen" for a tool you can use to connect them.  Good luck!

I use those Windex wipes. Then you dont have to worry about spraying anything on the monitor and the moisture getting down in the cracks and ruining it. Just wipe it over the screen and it's clean.

This is tricky.. The warranty does not usually cover single dead pixel defect.. \n\nSome manufacturers replace it if you have more than 5 dead pixels some if you have more than 8 etc..  You will have to have a close lookup on the warranty on the particular manufacturer...\n\nPersonally I only know one monitor manufacturer that offers single pixel warranty, so I am not very optimistic.. \n\nMaybe they get sorry for you that you have not even used it and override the company policy.. who knows.. I hope you luck!

Well, LCD's don't require much care, but if you want to keep your monitor in good shape there are a few things you can do.\n\nYou should never touch the screen. An LCD screen is sensitive and very easily damaged by both pressure and the oils from your skin.\n\nSecondly, like anything else, you should turn it off when not in use. LCD's don't suffer burn in like CRT monitors, but it's still a good idea to turn the monitor off to save power.\n\nThird, you should always keep your monitor clean. Never clean it with Glass Plus or ammonia based cleaners. Instead, use the cleaners suggested in your manual. The only one that I've seen do all my LCD's and other screens (CRT's, DLP's, Plasmas, etc.) is the Monster TV Cleaning Kit. Usually Monster Products are overhyped, but it comes with more value than any other screen cleaner then before. You get a gigantic bottle (can't notice how much I've used in 1 year- I clean often, and it looks like I haven't opened it), a large and nice microfiber cloth, and it is more effective- one spray will get you through 90% of the time, and always in two. Only $20, which is a small price to pay for an LCD monitor:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812155532\n\nFinally, always handle your LCD carefully, at it is very sensitive to drops and getting "dead/stuck pixels" (either pixels that don't work or are stuck a particular color) from bad handling.\n\nIn conclusion? With a little care and caution, your LCD will work well for years to come.

In some cases, if the scratch isn't too deep, you can rub it out with a mild abrasive. \n\nToothpaste works well for this (really) - rub a little bit of toothpaste around on the lens, and rinse it off.  You may need to spend quite a bit of time doing this.

As others have indicated, LCD screens are generally not built to withstand excessive touching or other pressure (sometimes laptops can even be damaged by applying too much pressure to them when closed up. e.g. setting something heavy on top of them)\n\nDurability can vary, of course, from one manufacturer to the next, but a few things to keep in mind:\n\n While touching (lightly) with your finger is not likely to do more than leave a smudge, your fingernail is capable of scratching the screen and really spoiling your day.\n\n  You should be careful when cleaning the screen. Be especially careful with any chemicals you use. Often "window cleaners" are the WRONG choice. Check with the manufacturer for recommendations, but something as simple as a damp, soft cloth is probably best.\n\n  There are protective screens available on the market. They can not only offer protection to your LCD screen's surface, they can also change the surface appearance to suit your preference. (e.g. a glass-like surface if you prefer, or a softer, matted finish, to reduce glare on your display)\n\nGood luck.

LCD screens are very delicate. Once they are scratched thats it. I use a screen protector for my PDA, but would be way too hard to install on a laptop!

Try degaussing..it is probably within the button on your monitor, set color etc.. when get to degauss push the button and it will remove static, worth a shot

there are special LCD wipes that you should use to cleant these screens.  They should have been supplied by your laptop, but if not then you should go out to a computer store and get LCD screen wipes.

Erm dont know if this will help at all, my wonderful fountain of knowledge (aka my wife) has suggested that you gently rub some baby oil on it, apparently it removes scratches from silver finishes and also cleans it, its certainly knowledge to me, but she normally surprises me with her vast amount random information.\nAlso nice and cheap, hope it works for you, and if it does please can you let me know.\n\nGood Luck
