Yikes, I cleaned my LCD with 70% Rubbing Alcohol on toilet paper

Hi there,
I had a quick question about my LCD monitor. Before I read all the stuff on the internet about cleaning LCDs, I put 70% rubbing alcohol on some toilet paper and very lightly applied it to my monitor. However, now I am freaking out because apparently this ruins your monitor. Did I permanently mess my LCD up by doing this? Thanks in advance.

Likely you have done no harm. Do you see a mark left behind where you applied the alcohol?

  • Clean the Screen with alcohol???

    Does anyone know if it is safe to clean the screen with an alcohol prep pad? I'm a bit of a germ freak. I've cleaned all my other phones and they have been fine. I just wasn't sure about the touch screen.

    i have a great way to clean the screen. have had my phone for 4 months and it looks as good as new. every evening i take a regular handtowel, wet the corner with water, squeeze out the excess, and rub the screen. then i take a dry part of the towl and rub it again. it cleans it completely and perfectlyly. as i said, my screen looks as good as new.
    i also use one of the leatherette eyeglass holders, slipsleeve style to hold my ohone when not in use. i cut off about two inches of the top, re-sewed it and it works great as protection when the phone is not in use. the inside is a felt type material and protects the screen nicely.

  • Best way to clean an LCD screen

    I would like to know the best way to clean the LCD display for my macbook.

    Apple has a Knowledge Base Article with their own suggestions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60446
    They also suggest a "damp" (water only) cloth. Apple includes a very nice microfiber cloth with all of their LCD displays. Why they don't include the same cloth with the computers that have built-in LCD screens, I have no idea. It would be nice if their own cloth was available as a retail product too.

  • Using a 4:3 17" LCD with a 1st gen intel MacBook

    I have 2 MacBook's that we use in the office for our sales team. They like to have them hooked up to the 17" LCDs with external mice and keyboards. The problem is that when I mirror the display it shows up on the monitor as a 16:9 display... giving me the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen... almost as if to match the resolution on the MacBook.
    The weird thing is that I have the LCD Monitor set to display 1280x1024 (4:3)... any ideas why this happens... I had it working before but not sure what the issue is. I have just recently formatted and installed Leopard fresh with all the latest updates.

    Yes, if you go into Displays preferences, you will see an Arrangement tab anytime that two or more displays are active. Under the Arrangement tab you will see miniature, rectangular representations of the screens that are running. One of them will show a small white bar across the top, which is meant to represent the menu bar. You can click on and drag the bar to the other rectangle. This will cause the real menu bar (and dock) to be on the other screen.

  • I cleaned my screen with method glass and surface cleaner and now the color is off.  What can i do?

    I cleaned my screen with methid galss and surface cleaner and now the color is off on my screen...What can I do?

    Clean it again, very carefully with a cloth dampened with water only (NOT WET), if it will not come back to normal you can have the screen replaced by Apple, this will not be under warranty.
    From now on just use a damp (NOT WET) cloth and a lot of care.
    Never spray on the screen, always have the iMac off when cleaning with any kind of conductive fluids (water)

  • I want to wipe my computer clean and start with a new installation of Lion

    My MBP has been acting strange.  I want to wipe it completely clean and start with a brand new installation of Lion.  How do I do that?  I know I can access the recovery partition by pressing 'Command+r' during the boot process.  However, do I need to use the disk utility option first and erase my internal hard drive?  Then do I use the new lion instal option?
    Or if I choose the new lion isntallation from the recovery partition, does it erase my drive first?

  • Clean up "Reports with FIN Interrupted processing"

    Hi All,
    Kindly let us know if there is any function to clean up “Reports with FIN Interrupted processing”. Even though "Transfer Restart" is available there are Expense reports which are not posted to ERP or you wish not to post to ERP.
    Can the Expense reports be set to status "Reimbursed" in the front end by the administrator?
    We know that the reimbursement notification is sent to C4TE from ERP.
    Kindly Suggest.

    Cleaning Your MacBook Pro
    Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your computer and its components:
    Shut down your MacBook Pro, detach the power adapter, and remove the battery.
    Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray any type of liquid directly on the computer.
    Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

  • There is no Clean up Word with HTML.js in my DW CS3

    I posted a few days ago about photos breaking and an error message about HTML.js.
    Now I find there is NO HTML.js found within my DW CS3.
    I tried to RE-INSTALL Dreamweaver from my install disc and it went about 1/4th of the way through and then asked me to put a PS Elements disc in my DVD drive. WEIRD!!!!  I don't even have PS Elements.  I have the CS3 Design Suite.
    SO, now I am stuck. I don't know what to do and why I cannot re-install DW without uninstalling the whole suite.?
    I was trying to re-install so as to be able to download any missing element that may have gotten lost in the installation the first time. (JOKE???)
    I used to be able to do that with Photoshop when something got lost in a new OS installation.
    Anyway, I installed this Suite after purchasing my new computer.
    Also, under "SITE", synchronize sitewide stays GREY  and I cannot use it. I cannot use COMMANDS, as the HTML.js  "error 2 " comes up. I have to click it 5 times to make it disappear from the screen. There are 5 photos on the web page.
    Any ideas?

  • What to clean the screen with?

    I just got a new Imac..first time having a MAC Computer...what do I use to clean the screen with?
    Thank you for all the help.

    See How to clean Mac products for information about cleaning your Mac, display, keyboard, mouse, and more:
    iMac
    To clean the display on your iMac, first shut down your iMac and unplug the power cord along with other connected devices. Next, dampen the cloth that came with your iMac—or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth—with water only, and then wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
    Displays
    Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the display.
    Warning: Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.

  • Why App Tab disappears after cleaning the manhine with CCleaner?

    I had App Tabs like yahoo, gmail, facebook etc. But, after cleaning my machine with CCleaner, I found, all of them has gone. So, is there any solution present for this? CCleaner is a good software. Many users uses this to clean their machine. So, what is the use to App Tab if we keep loosing it after doing a lot of work to set them in the browser? Although, I love firefox. Thank you.

    Hi TonyE, Thanks for your solution. But the technique used in the previous version of firefox to remember tabs was great. It was independent from session. we used the drag and drop application to make tabs there. By d way, great work. I appreciate The Firefox Team.

  • Replace a cracked non-retina iPad mini LCD with retina LCD & digitzer?

    My iPad mini screen is cracked and I am going to have it replaced by a 3rd party repair service. I am just wondering if it may be possible for me to have the current cracked non-retina LCD with a retina LCD screen and digitizer? If any of you know that this is in fact possible, reference someone you know that can do this. Thanks guys!
    ***P.S. I know- this voids my warranty. I am not interested in those types of responses

    Ah you're right... I have the A5 whereas the retina has the A7... Didn't think about that! That is why I asked. No need for the attitude. I was more wondering if it was POSSIBLE though. But hey, thanks for the response!
