Hi just went to Fry's electronics and a bottle of LCD scratch remover caught my eye as I was browsing through the Ipod section anyone ever try this stuff? and is it any good....

ive tried it before. you have to be careful and not use to much or it leaves funny marks on the screen.
thanato
you are better off protecting it first.
PraYeR
It might get rid of the scratch but it can also damage the screen if you use to much.
highton
kwl. im a litle careful with my psp. but it sounds good smile.gif
cupid_stunt
you should invest in some screen protectors as they are worth it.
jaycougar
good times
smodis
DUDE dont pay any money for that. 1 part pure alcohol and 1 part distilled water is all you need..... serious!!
Stalksy
Shame I drank all my pure alcohol...
arios211

TYLENOL800

vladlink

Enkei Xpress

dtvhn21
just use a screen protector, it'll do the trick...
ASR
yea I need that. I've abused my PSP for the past 2 years....Too many collisions with the concrete. It's really a shame, but hey what can I do now.

I still use my PSP daily - doesnt bother my eyes.

If this really works, I need to get one becuase I have a little chip in the middle of my screen llol. Let me know how it worked out.
ZeroX24
why not just buy a new faceplate?
scubabevo
I had some small scratches, that disappeared when I put the screen protector on it.
killdozer1827

DonDesperados

dl24
hahaha! Mine is awfully scratched. I am lazy and just live with it.
It's suffered a lot of abuse since March 24, 2005...

has anyone actually tried some of the scratch remover? also, can you tell me more information about the alcohol and distilled water mixture?

U should apply a small amount to a wash cloth and wipe the screen with it. If u put too much then the screen will seem rainbow-like

i was also wondering about this i bought s pelican screen protector but when i applied it using the soft card scratched the screen badly, so i just decided to not put it on.

How did you scratch the screen if you had the protector on it. The card is just to get the bubbles out but you should be only going over the protector, meaning your screen should not be affected seeing as you wouldnt be touching it.

Thank you very much, I'll have to try it!

hey, i got some propanol based cd/dvd cleaning solution, could this help with my screen?
dory dan
i have a screen protector that goes on like a piece of real thin plastic but it is thick enough to protect all of the messed scratches and if your psp is already scratched it will cover then minor scratches up real nice
Tony_Sunshyne
yes i reccomend the pelican screen protectors.they will hide all your previous scratches n even have anti glare
s3prototype
worst comes to worst, get a new face plate. 20ish bucks and remove a few screws and your set...

you can get away with not voiding you warrenty if you just carefully uncover the one screw under the upper left part of the sticker.
DudeOnFire
first thing i bought when i got my psp was a lcd screen protector, in case it gets scrached or something like that mellow.gif
sura2007
use a cotton bud
maps
what pupose scratch removr u guys use, cd type or juz plastic type?...cz psp screen might end up having a cloudy thingy using wrong solution..

use spectacles cotton for the wipes..but dont press to hard..
stealthgoat
If the scratches aren't deep you can use toothpaste and a cheesecloth. Toothpaste is an abrasive, it polishes your teeth. We used it to clear up plastic lenses on pressure gauges.
Matt-the-man
I personally don't know if that stuff works, but I could really use some of it, my screen is so scratched that even the tiniest glare will consume my whole screen, it really sucks that I can only play my psp in the dark.
daleighan
Use Brasso as a scratch remover.
ZestMalest
Take a soft cloth, kind of like a lens cleaner. Dab it with alcohol. Then take your psp for a dip into a bucket of luke warm water to wash away the alcohol. At this time do not have the system plugged to an outlet or on. let it resurface. If it does not, call sony emediate.
killswitch2771
hmm get it, i have a screen visor so i dont need it but yeah
awf
I read on one forum u can use cum yes thats right sperm 2 clean ur psp I honestly dont see how this would work
DEvok
your better of with a screen protector, using liquards aint to safe you could make it worse.
thellmann
If you got scratches get Brasso and a microfiber cloth. It takes care of scratches but it takes like half an hour.
wilecoyote
an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure!
DEvok
mines in good condition, i have the plastic screen cover+ leather case, and i clean the psp alot, due to the hand grease, just hate it.
HK88
I had the screen protecter and but there were bubbles all over. So i just took it off. Still looks new

its is a pain to remove the bubbles, i have the hard plastic screen protectors, they dont have much bubbles anyways.
ThUgZtaH
i don't think they're any good. like some guys already said, prevention is better than cure...
qb007
If your screen gets really bad then just replace the faceplate. Presto, no scratches!
rival316
it's a very good product, doesn't leave any fingerprint.
foeoid
i've bee n wondering how this works, i take really good care of my psp, i just need it for my cell phone but im way too afraid of messing it up worse
