M17x Screen Scratches When Closing The Lid

i dont know if this its normal, i started noticing some spots on my screen and i was lazy to try to clean them. so one day when i did they did not went away and i saw that they were like scratches, because when closing the lid the keyboard and touchpad rubbed with the screen, what should i do,??? i have this laptop since the 26 of october

 

There was someone having the same problem with u.. But i couldn't find the threat for it.. Anyways u can search around the forum.. Searching google on your problem might help as well...

You should still have your warranty, If its bugging u then u can try calling Dell ...

 

i guess that the guy who remplaced the 280m sli did not propertly put back the keyboard and the plaque on top of the keyboard and thats why it scratches, now i have to put a cloth everytime i close the laptop, dell said that they were going to callme (looking over the problem with theit managers, uff)

 

Sad muppet that I am, I still put the waxed paper overlay back beteween keyboard and screen every time I pack up, plus still have the screen protector on (to stop others wandering fingers when the go ... "Oooh" JAB! <JAB>... <SMACK>"Ow! what did you do that for??" >8oD

The polythene condom is just to keep the dust off in the bag.

OCD - me? Nooo ... /he says hiding his packet of Windowlene wipes... My M17x naturally looks factory-new every day!

Haha mate the screen will be outdated like the rest of the machine. I wouldnt use the plastic with tape on it thats ghetto. Just enjoy it naked

 

@Nick: LOL!

 

Lol I still use the wax paper thing too, mostly because it looks cool.

 

Just do not crush the laptop when you put it in a bag....I had had mine since the beginning of August and regularly transport it in a backpack with binder and textbooks and my screen is still in pristine condition

 

how to get rid of the scratch tho

 

Wait! I dont get that part. What is that wax paper for? And why does it look cool?

And is it just me or people are talking about condom and waxing and stuff

I dont have trouble with screen but I like it glass like Macbook tho.

 

My first one had the same thing happen to it ... Some thing was wrong with mine ..

 

Mine has this too. only noticeable when there a lot of glare on screen. Not so bad atm, but if it gets any worse, def bringing to dell's attention

 

Yea I sold mine but warned him of it

 

Curious... considering the reflectivity of the screen, are there any good solutions besides sitting in the dark to cut it down that look good but work without screwing up the glass? I was stunned looking at the m15x how much reflection there was even from indirect light sources...

 

man should i send it in to dell?

 

There is a screen polish alienware sells. No way I would attempt it though. Way too much opportunity to make it worse.

 

Find a matte protector
