Sometime soon after I got back from
CSH Welcome Back I noticed that there was a minor scratch on the screen of my beloved Powerbook, dead center no less. At first I just thought it was a hair or something, so I busted out the Windex and gave it a good bath to no avail. I started looking online and some people recommended the
Janvil Plastic Scratch Removal System for removing scratches from LCDs. Nobody with a Powerbook specifically, so I was a little worried that the screen would melt or something, but I ordered the kit anyway with a little trepidation.
I got the kit last week, but didn't build up the nerve to actually try it until tonight. It seems to work like a champ... I mean, when the screen is off (or under really heavy glare), you can clearly see the "polished" spot, so I mean, it has some effect on the screen, but for my usage it is way, way, WAY less distracting than the dead-center scratch. And as far as heavy-glare usage.... let's face reality, the Powerbook screen isn't all that useful under those conditions as it is... :)
