How to "fix" a scratched rear monitor screen - Pentax K7 ??

Eulogy · 06-16-2013, 11:48 AM

US $1 Bill is what I use for my eyeglasses, as well as anything else that I want smooth. Just have to be patience. (Learned this trick from Neal, a journalist who has a syndicated car column)

Another suggestion is Toothpaste and a cloth. Works well for anything that dollar bill doesn't. (Fixed some deep CD scratches with this one)

Lastly, you could always try making a paste out of baking soda, and using it like buffing cream. (This would be for something like a gouge, rather than a scratch) This would also deodorize your screen! (Just kidding. But probably true?)

That's been taken care of: sent to a pro shop a while back to have everything fixed, including installing a focus screen.
Thanks for the reply.
