..... Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 That would also completely wreck the coating on the screen, but I can't think of a better solution. How the hell you managed to do that though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 :huh: The official word on LCD cleaning in Apple manuals is to use a solution of diluted isopropyl alcohol, no more than a 50% solution. Usually the rubbing alcohol you buy at a drugstore that is either 90% or 98% pure but 98% is pretty hard to get (you don't need it anyway). I mix 1 part water and 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol, which works out to... um.. something just under a 50% solution. Be absolutely sure to use a very VERY soft cloth. I use a piece of soft flannel. Do NOT use paper towels or anything more abrasive than an old worn out cotton Tshirt. Absolutely do NOT use windex or anything with ammonia in it, it can etch the screen surface and can cause the plastic to go cloudy. You don't want that to happen! BTW, there is a commercial cleaning solution called something like Klear-Screen, it's pretty expensive. It is merely a 50% solution of isopropyl alcohol and water.

Techo Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 You can buy a special screen cleaning kit at any office supply store, try those first. e.g. http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=KS-2 or http://www.merchantamerica.com/photodon/in...e&product=38672 Perhaps they are good enough. Then try an alcoholic mixture ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
