How can I remove scratches in my cameras LCD screen?

11 years 1 month ago #279156 by Happy Hour
I have a few scratches on the back side LCD of my D90 from before I started using a screen protector and would like to see if these can be removed or fixed. Any idea how this can be done?


Thanks!

Sorry to tell you this, but you are out of luck. Also depends on what you call scratches. Are they white and rough inside of them, then that is a gouge. If they are fine scratches then they too cannot be fixed easily. For a gouge type you can try putting some clear nail polish in them with a toothpick. To polish out scratches on glass takes several different grades of abrasive compounds, and I do not know how thick the glass is on a cameras LCD. Each polishing takes off some of the glass. Also you need a perfectly flat tool. So either learn to live with them, or let it annoy you. Me I just live with it.

:agree: Joves is 100% correct on this. I've even heard of people getting replacement LCD's from ebay and swapping out themselves (not easy task from what I read).
