How i dealt with retina stains

[keporkak_jedna]

Hi there,

I purchased my Macbook pro retina back in 2014. Missed the opportunity for free replacement. Now my screen is clean thank to Listerine Cool mint. There are some videos on Youtube and posts on the internet as a proof it just works.

It took approx. 6 hours of rubbing with a microfiber towel and half a bottle of Listerine to got rid off all antireflective coating.

Screen is now a bit shiny but I quess it was worth it.

Are you serious ?
Getting rid of the antireflective coating is supposed to be a solution???

 

[keporkak_jedna]

It is. Better than paying extra 300 or more bucks for new part.

Apart from ignoring the mess, the only other solution is to pay a few hundred $ to get a replacement screen. For a 5 year old laptop.

Plus, your laptop now smells minty fresh!

could you share a picture of the results ?

There are dust particles on the second picture, just ignore them. Can be cleaned.

Get up , lazy boy !

BTW the results are interesting.

There's also videos showing you to microwave your iPhone to charge it - doesn't mean you should do that.

For a second I thought you wrote it took you 6 hours.. but that would be crazy.

Is it any relevant?

Just imagine paying 300 bucks for replacement or spending some time rubbing it. What is more crazy?

Yes, because you did something to the laptop simply because you saw a video on the net. I'm pointing out that its best to be careful

Depends on how much money you can make within 6 hours..

6 hours does seem like an excessive amount of time, but if the end result what the OP wanted. I'm not sure how well the screen will be with day to day usage w/o it but hey its not my laptop
