    I have an HP Pavillion dv6-3050us 15.6" laptop. A peer of mine lent me their microfiber wipe but apparently it was dirty and now I have some very fine scratches on the plastic bezel surrounding the screen. It is otherwise unnoticeable unless you shine a light or direct it to the sun - but it still keeps me wide awake at night :p . Is there a way to remove the fine scratches without causing further damage to the plastic bezel? All suggestion would be great. Thanks. :)

    If they really bother you, maybe try one of those "fix scratched lenses" products

    The same thing happened to my notebook and I tried to fix it too, with scratch removers but ended up paying $20 for a new bezzle :D :D :D ( I could not sleep at night too). Anyway to answer your question: Yes probably could be done but you would waste a lot of time and at least 5-10 bucks for the scratch removing liquid and you might end up damaging it more so just look on ebay for a new one. Im really happy with my purchase and I bought a used one (LOOKED LIKE NEW)
