N97 - repair scratched screen?

So this new N97 seems to have a screen made out of jello or something. It's scratched after only 3 days use, and that's using my finger not the stylus!!
Any ideas how to get these scratches out? Is replacing the screen viable? 
Cheers. 
Solved!

You are using a £500 touch phone without a screen protector?!
It's odd that it has scratched so easily as it did very well in scracth resistance tests. It must have been in contact with something sharp.

    You probably broke your phone when you tried to repair it yourself.

  • If my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?

    if my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?
    i heard apple can upgrade my phone if a pay a specific amount? is this correct?
    also if my phone is out of warranty how much would it cost for it to be replaced?

    Apple does not repair smashed phones.  It will replace the phone with another iPhone 3G as an out of warranty exchange for 199.00 USD. 
    You should check with your carrier to see if you are eligible for a subsidized iPhone 4.   It may cost you the same as the out of warranty replacement for a phone almost 3 generations old.

  • Severly Scratched screen on HD-LCD TV

    I recently acquired a 2008-37AV500U HD-LCD TV with a severly scratched screen. Is there a plastic cover in front of the picture screen or is the outer layer actually the screen itself? And also is it economically feasible to replace this screen? I'm pretty familiar computers and other electronic devices so i'll be doing the work myself. And lastly would anyone have a ballpark figure on cost of said screen. I'd be grateful for any and all replies, thank-you

    All you are displaying on your little HD tv is the same image as the Canvas.
    If you want to really monitor HD/HDV you need something like the MXO, Kona LH or an Intensity card to convert the material to display on the TV.
    good luck.

    Not covered by warranty. If you make an appointment at an Apple store, you will be offered an out of warranty replacement. Cost is US $199 for an iPhone 4S.

  • Video Ipod Scratched Screen Refab?

    My video Ipod, which is nearly 2 years old now, has a badly scratched screen. I remember seeing an infomercial years ago where this solution was put on eye glasses and it took care of the surface scratches. I don't know if it actually worked but I wonder if there is something like that for the Ipod? I know I heard other people mention the screen scratched easily when they first came out but I don't know if the issue was ever addressed by Apple or a 3rd party.
    I love my Ipod but watching clear video through scratches is annoying.

    Example of what I mean...

  • Keyboard scratches Screen and Reinstall OSX takes 8 hours

    Only 2 months ago I bought a macbookpro. I was all excited, my first mac.
    2 months later...
    I had bought a case for it to protect it.
    I carry it in my backpack in a separate sleeve designed to not allow pressure on the device when carried in the backpack.
    The keyboard has completely scratched the screen...Thats PANTS!!!
    Also I installed java update and it completely rendered the java unusable and thus had to reinstall the whole OS...I need java because I am in a java programing class.
    To reinstall the OS it took over 8 hours..watching a little loader circle (throbber) go around and around over and over...I know this is not normal to take 8 hours to reinstall an OS...
    I called apple support and they wont do anything...
    Still no satisfaction and the thing runs slow as ****... Keep in mind that I am a computer technician of over 10 years... I have checked the system and cannot find any problems barring it being a hard drive issue which tests okay.
    Any ideas...
    thanks

    I am trying to understand your basic problems that you are reporting.
    Only 2 months ago I bought a macbookpro
    2 months later...
    I had bought a case for it to protect it.
    The keyboard has completely scratched the screen
    So, does that mean that the scratched screen issue happened "all at once"? 2 months ago to 2 months later sounds like you are talking about "today" or thereabouts.
    I carry it in my backpack in a separate sleeve designed to not allow pressure on the device when carried in the backpack.
    What does "it" refer to?
    1) The MBP
    2) The case that you purchased "2 months later"
    3) The MBP in the case that you purchased "2 months later"
    Or is the backpack the case that you purchased "2 months later"?
    Also I installed java update and it completely rendered the java unusable and thus had to reinstall the whole OS
    Ok, so live learn and perhaps next time read first read "Java Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for developers" (http://developer.apple.com/java/faq/#remove), where your issue is clearly explained and likely could have been avoided.
    How can I switch between multiple versions of Java on my Mac?
    The Java Preferences application allows users to choose which version is used by applications, Applets, and command-line tools. Apple developer tools such as Jar Bundler and Xcode both allow you to request a minimum or specific Java version for double-clickable applications. Please see the Java 1.4 Info.plist Dictionary Keys documentation for details.
    Can I remove a Java update after I've installed it?
    Java on Mac OS X is updated incrementally through numerous releases. Therefore, the only way to revert to an earlier Java installation is to reinstall the operating system. The same applies for any other Java-related Software Updates or Developer Previews. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that Developer Previews of Java on Mac OS X be installed on non-critical systems.
    Sometimes a little research goes a long way.
    Yes I am a computer technician....
    I know you are. That is why I stated:

    I didn't want to mince words with a fellow as savvy and experienced as you, just trying to provide a link to a document. I understand your are frustrated; it might help to sublimate some of that energy into a focused dialogue. Apparently you are in school (java programing class / backpack), so it is also good time to put on the "big-boy pants" and the "thinking hat".

  • I smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone?

    i smashed the screen of my iphone 5 earlier and it was bought just before christmas, i was wondering will apple repair the screen for free or swap the phone? the phone is still working fine, just the screen needs changing by the looks of it.

    Why would Apple replace or repair the phone for free? Will a car manufacturer replace or repair the car you drove into a wall for free? If you sit on your spectacles, will the optician give you another pair for free?
    You can get an out of warranty replacement phone for $199 in the US, similar price in your local currency.

  • Anti glare/scratch screen protector Ipad Mini 2 - Not compromising clarity

    I'm looking for an anti glare/anti-scratch screen protector for the ipad mini 2 retina. I know Zagg has an awesome one however the clarity is greatly compromised at only 86% clarity. Is there a screen protector that has great clarity along with anti scratch and anti glare, or at the very least minimized the glare from outside or inside lighting.

    Hi. I'm in the market for one too. I've always used power support and they're very good albeit expensive at £30 a pop. I've looked at the Zagg but there have been some not so great reviews. So my advice is go power support, the HD anti glare one is very good but if you don't want to dull the display and it does make a difference then go for the crystal clear. Hope that helps

  • Z1 scratched screen ASF

    Dear Members,
    Dear Sony,
    Please tell me what do we have to do with the scratched screen?
    Its been a year since I had a Xperia Z1. Great phone but...screen.
    Photo of my screen 
    There are two huge scratches. It is a high-end phone and I think the ASF on the screen is not a good idea.
    I read many topics about the ASF/scratched screens. Maybe there is ONE person in SonyMobile who would be so kind and tell us what do we have to do with some kind of scratches like on the photo in a high-end phone.
    Also, a SonyMobile Specialist coudl answer all the questions we have, because we dont know if:
    - ASF removal voids warranty?
    - what do we have to do with the scratches ON the ASF instead of replacing it with the new-one digitizer?
    - is it possible to polish the ASF? If yes, how?
    - which of the other mega strong foils would you recommend instead of scratched ASF? Nillkin? Other company?
    Those questions are important because many of us spent a lot of money a tear or more ago to have an extra high-end phone. And the complete digitizer with the ASF costs more than half of a phone now.
    It would be very very kind if there was ONE question for all countries on the World.
    Please let us know what to do with scratched screen on Z1.

    This has been answered many times - Removing it maybe deemed as tampering and thus void any warranty pertaining to your screen - The ASF can be removed but the Sony lettering at the top will also be removed should you require further info then you would be best directing questions to Xperia care  http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

  • Completely operational iPhone went into Apple store to repair shattered screen.  IPhone came out with shattered screen and completely inoperable.  What happened?

    Completely operational iPhone went into Apple store to repair shattered screen.  IPhone came out with shattered screen and completely inoperable.  What happened or happens in the back room?

    Thanks.  That kind of confirms.  I was able to get the phone home and restore it.  The Genius was unable to restore.  Maybe there is a connector problem? Now there is a working phone again, still with a shattered screen.  Any suggestions for what's next? 

  • Why don't apple repair iPod screen instead of replacing the whole unit?

    I dropped my iPod a while back now and while it was initially superficial damage it's got to the point where 75% of the screen is unreadable and the touchscreen is completely broken.
    Why do apple charge £100+ to replace the whole unit when there are other services that can repair the screen for less?

    All any of us here can say is "because that's how they decided to handle it". It's not uncommon for manufacturers of small electronic devices to just replace them for a flat fee regardless of the problem, though.
    Regards.

  • What is the cost for repair my screen?

    Help! what is the cost for repair my screen?

    Back glass repair/replacement is cheaper than front glass. If your handy back glass replacement is fairly easy and repair kits sold on-line are around $25-30. Front glass repair requires pretty much taking the entire iPhone apart and is much more complicated $100-200 depending on your location city and iPhone model.
