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

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.

Use a good quality automotive undercoat first - especially one formulated for aluminium or similar.\n\nOnce the paintwork is restored, apply several coats of a good automotive lacquer (this will really give the paint job depth and lustre too). Finally, apply specially made PVC protective sheet to all areas likely to be scratched (good bike shops and some car accessory dealers will stock this). Once on this gives permanent protection and looks fine.

There are several fans inside for cooling.  There is one on your processor (the actual computer chip inside), power supply and probably your video card.  If you are just beginning to notice it, there may be a cable or something that is brushing against the fan.  You might consider opening the case and just making sure nothing is rubbing.

Here are some ideas to look at:\n\nSoft cloth, anti-static cloth, water, specialized screen cleaner, microfiber cleaning cloths\n\nTechnique:\n\n1. Conventional wisdom is that you should only clean a screen with a damp cloth, as many screens have an anti-glare coating that you risk damaging if you use a harsh household cleaner. Even traditional window cleaners can damage some coatings and screens, especially on laptop computers. Always check your manual.\n\n2. Screen wipes are also available which are also great for the keyboard and general cleaning. Wipe your screen first, then the keyboard, mouse, and casing. Stop your computer from getting dirty in the first place by having them handy to wipe the grease off your fingers after eating junk food. \n\n3. If you are using just a damp cloth to wipe the screen, be sure to dry it off as well to prevent streaking.\n\n4. When cleaning the monitor casing use a soft cloth with your cleaning fluid. Always spray onto the cloth, not the equipment!\n\n5. Antistatic sprays and other specialty cleaning chemicals are very common, and are formulated so they will not cause damage to even the most sensitive screens. Their effectiveness is questioned by some, but others swear by them. The theory is that as the product cleans it leaves a neutral charge, whereas a positive or negative charge will attract dust. The effectiveness is likely more a result of environment, but considering the insignificant cost it is probably worth it.\n\nMy favorite is using a good microfiber cloth slightly damp on one side and polishing clean with the dry side, I really never use chemical.  The microfiber cloths are really great that way.

black or dark colors because it's harder to notice scratches and dirt

This is how I do it:\n\nViva Kitchen Tissue + Rubbing Alcohol\n\nRubbing alcohol is antiseptic as well as reacts with the oils to remove them.\n\nViva is soft! (I also use a velvet cloth sometimes)\n\n\nCommercially, \nThere are special tissues available for this; I bought one for $6.99; was good for a year then the sheets dried out. The above solution works good so I didn't by another one.\n\n\nTO CLEAN INSIDE:\nCompressed air; I spray it once in a while on the fans from the outside to avoid the laptop to overheat.

Go into Performance and Maintenance in your Control Panel, choose 'System', click the 'Advanced' tag along the top.\nNow click on 'Settings' in the 'Performance' box, and under 'Visual Effects' make sure 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop' is checked.\nThis should get rid of the annoying highlight!

I have a similar problem... I have an old apple power book, and I popped all the buttons out, and cleaned underneath of them. if you want to take the lap top apart, clean out the rubber buttons underneath it. otherwise spray it with compressed air. that worked for me, but you may not be wanting to go that far... or you could take it to the shop and let them do it.

Sounds to me like it is actually an active desktop item. Left click on it and a border may appear. Then x it

No its not.  You can unclip the casing and remove the screen,  the ribbon, invertor etc if/when they have to be replaced.  Its not difficult, I have done it a couple of times on a toshiba.  It is a very tight fitting though, so could appear to be sealed.

Wipe with a soft cloth damped with alcohol. Make sure not to spray anything on the screen or to soak the cloth excesively so that it will run.
