Abrasive Screen cleaner for W3J

There is a mark in my W3J's screen. It almost looks like a dead pixel, but it doesn't show up in backgrounds that aren't white/ the lcd screen is off. I think i just got something on the screen. I've tried rubbing it but it doesn't seem to want to come off. Is there some type of abrasive cleaner (that is safe to use on an LCD Screen) i can use to get this off my screen? or at least determine that it is in fact a screen defect.

 

No abrasives!!!

OMG....

The best thing to use to clean your screen is a dry or a little bit damp microfiber cloth, like the ones used to clean camera lenses.

I personally try to clean my LCDs as little as possible... A little dust buildup is better then a potentially damaged screen. Maybe I am making them out to be more fragile then they are, but they just....aren't glass...

 

With a good cleaning set (cloth and cleaner) its ok to clean them regularly. If it isn't coming off, let it be, too much elbow grease will mean a new screen. Try cleaning it with an LCD screen cleaner and a microfiber cloth, if it doesn't come off, then let it go.

 

Abrasive and lcd cleaner simply don't go together. If you have something that you feel is physically on the screen, either it was *caused* by an abrasive cleaner, or it's physically a piece of gunk that got stuck to it. If you can't scratch it off with your fingernail, I really wouldn't suggest anything else. Rubbing alcohol does a number that water won't, but it won't scratch the screen.

 

I didn't necessarily mean "abrasive cleaner" i just meant something stronger than water , I didn't want to use any chemicals that would damage my screen.

 

Haha, a little rubbing alcohol sometimes does the trick. Maybe its an organic residue in which alcohol would be very effective. =D

 

Well I had to say it to be sure For hard plastic surfaces (say...a scratched iPod Nano screen, or cloudy headlight covers) a light abrasive like Brass-o can be used to polish off the scratches.... But not on an LCD, since it is really a soft material, and has all kinds of coatings on it.

 

I have to say that the title of your post was scary. I agree that if it won't go rather easily...let it be. I've done my share of destroying perfectly good items because a "minor flaw" bothered me enough to try to "fix" it .
