Ehh.. I kinda.. made a mistake ._.
Let's just say I was trying to wipe something off my monitor, and I took something with a grainy edge to do it. There are two extremely long scratches that are there.. nothing is working.. ._.
Anyone know how I can get rid of the scratches?
Have you tried some of the 'liquid' cd-repair stuff..? That might work.. unless they are extremely deep scratchs..
A cheaper option that might work sounds wierd.. but it works on some cds.. and there's a few people that'll atest to it, too!
Toothpaste... you heard right.. try a lil' toothpaste.
Just look on the web for repairing a cd with toothpaste.
(It should work under the same principle for your monitor.. so yea.. e.e)
It basically recrystalizes in alignment with the 'scratch' so it should be almost invisible, if done correctly..
Although from what I've read, MegaFlare..
Do NOT try to 'polish' the scratch out.. CRT (Which is what I'm guessing you have..) have a very, very thin film coating. Any attempt to polish the scratch may only further ruin the monitor. Also, if they are deep scratches.. you might have a compromised CRT.
Meaning that your CRT may explode.. (Just the glass screen.)
And you wouldn't want to be using it at the time.
So if they are deep, just go to a yardsale, and get another one.. they are pretty cheap.
But that's just a warning for you. I can't really say what'll happen, because I haven't seen the scratches or anything. e.e

I hope one of those works.
