my laptop lcd screen

computerhakk · 09-29-2005, 09:35 AM

can anyone suggest ways for cleaning my laptop lcd screen..

its a toshiba.. when i bought it... it has this pink soft foaming type of cover that covers the keyboard seperating the lcd screen n keyboard.. i believe it has left somewhat.. scuffs marks on the screen..

yeah im able to wipe it off with a soft towel, but it keeps coming back for i keep using the foam.. and yea i would like to use it and not discard it because i travel alot around with my laptop and i dont want the keyboard to scratch the screen..

any suggestions?

Clean it and get a sfoter foam? Maybe a non scratch foam?

If you remove the foam are you sure it will hit the scrren? It doesnt seem to work well..

Use eyeglass/lens clesner on a soft cloth. Spray the cloth not the screen.

i would go to office depot or office max and look at packaging material. see if i could find another type of packaging foam that wont stick/scuff the screen.

great!

will those packagin foam be thin enough to fit between the lcd and keyboard when i close it? i wouldn't want something really thick.. and they come in sizes right? my lcd is 15.4.. so hopefully its big enough so that i can cut it to fit, or if they do have the right size, thats perfect..

thats awesome that they have lcd safe solutions.. i'll check on it tomorrow after work.. do you guys happen to know by any chance whats unsafe solutions/liquid to use on an lcd screen?

i been using windows cleaner, water, sometimes saliva to clean my CRT monitor.. so will the same apply to lcd? or should i just get a lcd safe solution?

as far as i know, the keyboard isn't mis-shaped or anything where the button sare sticking up or lop-sided..

most laptop screens are hinged so that it lies a few millimeters above the keyboard. you shouldnt need to put that pink foam you speak of.
