I scratched my GBA screen lightly

I scratched my GBA lightly, im a neat freak so i want to remove it cuz i dont like how its there. is there a way? a liquid or something?

A replacement screen is dirt cheap. Try Lik-Sang or Lan-Kwei or have a look on Ebay. Pay about a fiver, and no prob to fit.

how would i fit it on? do i take the screen out?

The lens on the GBA is only held on with adhesive. You just need to gently pry off the old one and then stick on the new one.

Before you do that get some 'whitening' tooth paste (the one with crystals) and rub it into the screen with a soft cloth this will polish down the screen until the scratch has gone. (also works on cds)

[capitalcarnage]

cool can anyone confirm that works?

[dfq23]

It leaves a kind of shiny patch on the screen that can be more annoying than the scratch.

Agreed, using toothpaste is fine for CD's where you're only trying to make them readable by a CD-ROM drive.

Putting toothpaste to the screen of the GBA will only make the cosmetic blemish worst. Since you've admitted to being a neat freak I don't think you'll be happy with the results. ;)
