I accidentally scratched my LCD Monitor when I was replacing a CD/DVD drive in my desktop computer. I removed the cover to access the drive, but left the tower standing vertically while installing a new CD/DVD drive. I had finished connecting the power when the tower fell over on its side and as it fell, the edge of the case gouged a very visible 10 inch diagonal line from the top of the monitor to the bottom, with some spots light and others darker—which were deeper. I was quite upset because it was a nice 20” Samsung monitor, that was still working well, except now it had this deep visible gash and it was not acceptable.
I immediately did a Google search for a fix, and found several different repair kits with various methods, and prices, most using some type of chemical on the screen for resurfacing. I was frustrated that I just ruined a very good monitor out of carelessness, and decided it would be easier to buy a new one instead of trying to fix the gouge. But, the next day I had a revelation! I may be able to fix it on my own using just a few things found at home, and nothing to buy. It was an idea worth a try. I felt like Angus MacGyver, the TV hero who could make anything from nothing, like toothpicks or bubble gum and the wrapper. So, like MacGyver, I searched my home for the right parts that would repair my scratch from nothing, and it worked! Then I made a video of my simple and easy steps to repair a scratch in an LCD monitor screen, which may also be used to repair any LCD screen, including a TV. Basically, you use a small piece of cardboard to sand the scratch away. That's it!

Step 1: Cut a small piece of cardboard, maybe 4” by 1 or 2 “
Step 2: Rub the cardboard over the scratch until it disappears (takes just few minutes remove almost any scratch). The surface coating will be removed, but the scratch should be gone or in the worst case, barely visible.
