MacBook Pro Screen Scratch Removal?

[Ravernomina]

Hello all... i got a screen scratch on my Computer about 4 months ago and it is now bothering me. I want to remove it because well... i have some OCD and i would love to see a clear screen . Its just a small 3mm hair line scratch but i would like it gone. Because on white it makes a Kind of Rainbow effect. Now i've seen 2 methods i think that could work.

One is using a Combination of Tooth paste a Petroleum Jelly... while another is using Nail Polish Remover to buff it out.

WTF nail polish remover? Yeahhh...that doesn't sound good to me. Acetone is not for everything.

NOOOO! Nail polish remover will make it much worse!!!

You couold try the carious scratch removers out there, like:

Though to be honest, I doubt it'll work, and again you might risk making things worse. You might be better off just living with the scratch.

best advice thus far :]

It’s glass, you're not getting it off. The aforementioned methods are trying to polish it off; it's not really going to happen.

Deal with it or sell it and buy a new one because a new display assembly will cost upwards of 400$ as the glass is glued on.

How about a torch? JK.

I don't think acetone would damage a piece of glass but who knows what Apple might coat that glass with.

I seriously doubt there's a way to get a scratch out of a display. I think you're going to have to replace the entire display to fix it. Sorry for the bad news but shortcuts here will surely make the situation worse.

you could just replace the glass or polish the glass to remove the scratch.

Probably buying a replacement piece of glass, a suction cup, and heat gun would be the easiest way to handle it, and would probably cost less than $100 (if you buy a cheap heat gun).

techrestore.com will replace your display with a matte display for $199 or replace the glass only for $219
