Ok, I have a laptop. And the screen is getting really disgusting. I've had it for around 3 years, and I've never cleaned it. So, does anybody know how's the best way? I'm afraid of doing something wrong :crazy:

soooo..... what should I do?
Using a dry rag doesn't work....
:help:

Disgusting how? Is it greasy or dry hard shite on it? There might be official cleaning products in computer stores (?). Dunno.. just guessing. I think the best way of keeping your screen clean is not touching it (really?) and cleaning it with dust-magnetic-gathering-cleaning-thingie.. Don't know it's name in english.

Well I don't know how to clean one, but I think I could figure out how to break one.

I don't know why, but you should clean it when the pc is turned off. As for what products to use, I really don't know. I'll know something more later.

You can use the stuff you use for cleaning your glasses k:

Just turn the computer off and let it rest a bit before cleaning.

You can use grease and oil to clean it.

I used glass cleaner and now I am using glasses cleaner (one from RXoptical). I never shout down any of my laptops for cleaning (I used about 5 of them) and never had any problem with the screens. Don’t know what difference can make on laptop, as it does not work on the same principles as TV or CRT monitor. :blink:
