    I just got a sratch on my screen. Luckilly its a Tablet and has a very durable screen (you can squeeze pretty hard before warp) and no LCD came out. Is there any way to fix this or make it unnoticable>?? this is really going to put down resale value since im planning to sell it soon...

    thanks :(

    EDIT: also, how much do you think it will take off resale value?

    Depends the size and depth of it.

    Though i have never tried it on a laptop screen, how would that glasses lens scratch remover stuff work?

    I would say LCDs are softer material than actual glass, so it might damage the screen even more. That's just my thought though.
