Hairspray is supposed to remove permanent felt marker, but I don't know what it would do to the screen.

Anyone got a broken one to test this theory on ??

Can I use any type of cleaning solution on my LCD screen?
No, using alcohol or ammonia - based cleaners repeatedly may cause permanent damage to the LCD. Over time using these types of cleaners could cause the surface of the screen to yellow. It can also make the screen brittle and eventually cause cracking on the screen surface.

NOTICE: The following cleaners are unacceptable:
• Acetone
• Ethyl alcohol
• Ethyl acid
• Ammonia
• Methyl chloride

What types of cleaners are acceptable?
• Water
• Vinegar (mixed with water)
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Petroleum Benzene

What are some of the basic supplies needed to clean an LCD screen?
• A soft cotton cloth. When cleaning the LCD screen it is important to use a soft cotton cloth, rather than an old rag. Some materials, such as paper towels, could cause scratches and damage the LCD screen.
• Solution of water and isopropyl alcohol. This solution can be used along with the soft cotton cloth.
• Computer wipes. Only use these if they specifically state on the package they are designed for LCD laptop screens. Computer wipes can come in handy for fast clean-ups or when you want to avoid mixing up a cleaning solution yourself.

How do I clean the LCD surface properly?
• Do not spray any liquids on the LCD screen directly, and do not use paper towels, this can cause the LCD screen to become scratched.
• Always apply the solution to your cloth first, not directly to the parts you are cleaning. You want to avoid dripping the solution directly into your computer or laptop.
• Stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom.

**UPDATE**

well nothing worked. we tried every thing. Then my brother suggested dry erase marker, he said that's how they get perm marker off white borads. IT WORKED. It was very slow until somebody said hey just bust the marker open and use the guts.

Good as new. Thanks again for all hte suggestions

Just for future reference, another way is to use the same marker that made the marks. Sound wierd? It's solvent carrier will naturally disolve the dried ink. scribble heavily over the mark and quickly wipe it off. Dry erase sounds safer if that'll work, but if you don't have one around, try this way.

no residual effects, i would say good as new. I did think of using the sharpie but did not for fear of making it worse.

Thanks again

Brake cleaner, from the auto-parts store, works great for getting marker grafitti out of more durable things such as painted walls.

Congrats at finding a solution for this delicate place.

Yeah that solvent is nasty stuff. It melts right thru disposable plastic gloves, and shreds the latex ones after a while. I wouldn't want to risk it on a laptop.

FYI: Dry Erase marker uses isopropyl alcohol as its solvent.

It's good to hear that you were sucesssful.
