So I got some spray paint on my LCD...

[ParoxysM]

Was attempting to mod my LCD with a bit of color and didnt notice the tear in the paper sheltering the LCD. I havent tried anything like googone yet. Any suggestions??

 

[ShadowBlade]

well if you hadent taken the time to post this, you probably could have wiped it off before it dried

I would imagine that it will clean off easily if it was spray paint...I would try Goo Gone.

 

[Mrvile]

Well you can try Goo Gone but I think you might take off some of the LCD's anti-glare stuff that's on the screen.

 

[ParoxysM]

I didnt notice until the next day...

 

[Xpage]

i would think some sort of solvent would work too, maybe isopropyal alcohol and some gentile rubbing though you still may lsoe some of the anti-glare coating

PICS?

 

[JEDIYoda]

I definately would NOT use a Blow torch to take the paint off the LCD!!!

 

[lenjack]

Use system restore to go back a day.

 

[ParoxysM]

Well, I got it all off with an ATM card and a gentle scraping...thanks for the info guys!!

I think that should be 'never use spraypaint on an lcd. EVER!'

Actually... that's not correct.

My Dell Inspiron 8200 recommends that you use Alcohol to clean the screen...

I guess most Dell LCDs aren't hurt by alcohol... not sure about other manufactuers.

lol, that thick glass in front of the crt is actually used to block "some" of the radiation coming out of it...It also weighs a lot heavier

It's alpha radiation anyway. I don't think that'd make it too far through the air - which is why the picture tube is evacuated.
