Hi does it work on deep scratches on a Nitendo Lite LCD as there is 2 small deep scratches as i accidentally drop from a bench but it is still working fine and the shop that i got the warranty from said it is not covered and rather replace the whole screen including the digitalizer

[@NamikazeMinato007.]

​@@tysongamingchannelit's worth a try if you haven't done it already

[@cajaybears]

That did not work for me. I can still see the scratch after I did everything you did even waiting 3 minutes while the petroleum jelly was on the scratch. And I put a very liberal amount of petroleum jelly on the scratch. You must have done a camera trick to make it look like the scratches were gone after you put the petroleum jelly on it liberally then you wiped it off with a cloth with isopropal alcohol. However the scratch really was not gone just your camera trick you used to trick us into thinking all that you did in this video works to remove a scratch.

[@tfp3163]

I was not expecting this video to be as wholesome as it was.

[@abdullabaig7442]

Just apply Colgate toothpaste paste on the scratches portion and wait for 5 minutes and clean the surface with cotton cloth... All scratches will disappear.... I have tried for my samsung LED TV...

[@CyberPsychGaming]

What a legend! Dude shows live scratching so that we can compare it to our scratch, gives a little motivational speech in between and shows the full result instead of saying that's it and stopping the video.

[@HelpingHermit]

thank ya thank ya

[@Pheryos]

@@HelpingHermit can this be used on laptop screen?

[@ohawcrofdizzle]

I’ve tried the Vaseline and it hasn’t worked, what worked was your motivational speech about not getting mad which did help! I was so mad and upset but hearing you helped! I’ll try your other methods 👍

[@HelpingHermit]

my grandmother use to say, "this too shall pass". Its not the bad things that happen to us in life, it's how we respond that makes the world. Forgiving is giving.

[@RalphGreene-t6x]

yeah, same here, the Vaseline didn't help my scratch either, mine wasn't that deep either.

[@ogueyratogeyrat7448]

Dont use water dummy

[@ogueyratogeyrat7448]

Just wipe it

[@scottouimet2865]

​@HelpingHermit my dad used to tell me this too... my 3yr twins just Messed up my 80" samsung with a pencil. They gouged it so hard they killed a few pixels... Hopefully this or alcohol will work. Gonna try a magic eraser to clean it first

[@lazerlightsub]

2:48 Needed to hear that, thanks man.

[@elisestein8073]

great video 👏🏻👏🏻 you really showed that it works, with no pause in the video. thank you so much, i’m gonna test in my kindle.

[@zoyamurad8527]

Thanks a heap..My toddler just scratched my screen ( our owners screen basically) and that got me like GODDD ,NOW WE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT and i just found your video.Im glad,so glad and thankful you made this video and saved us 😊 May God bless you !

[@citrus.mixer1]

Worked well with my Vizio D43-D2 LED TV I got on FB Marketplace (seller didn't tell me about the scratches), the screen was scratched so bad it looked like a bobcat got after it and went to town scratching the heck out of it. 😅 It looks way way better after the petroleum jelly (I even let it sit on the scratches overnight). Be sure to just gently wipe off the jelly with a dry microfiber cloth, not isopropyl alcohol/water. But it depends on what type of screen and what type of scratches you have, so try several things, but don't spend too much money on it...the scratches will always be there, the goal is just to make them less visible.

[@madoggman4458]

Not gonna lie, I was absolutely fuming before I watched this video. I just got a brand new tv and in 3 days my daughter has managed to throw something at it and put a nasty scratch in it. The Vaseline hasn't made any difference what so ever, but your words have really helped me see what really matters. So thank you for that 🙏🏻

[@buzzlom]

Within 3 days? You could probably just send it back

[@etherealvessels8075]

Bless you man just bought ultrawide and it got minor scratches on from it being in my trunk

[@brainslugs8866]

Holy crap man, even after the video and comments I was still skeptical, but I went ahead and tried it on this screen I purchased from goodwill which was evidently scratched by someone handling it there after the fact. Well sure enough, like many say, didn't completely remove scratches but made them virtually invisible when the screen is on. I've barely scrubbed any in and already made a huge difference. Seems like it might even help the general clarity and glare of the screen too. So I may just treat the entire screen lol. Thanks a bunch!

[@claudiam.8024]

Thank you! I tried the Vaseline and didn’t work well. I tried the toothpaste and the scratch went away 😊. Thank you !

[@AnimeAngel-jw2cv]

No I tried it and it did not work

[@cajaybears]

I tried the petroleum jelly that did not work but the tooth paste basically worked. You can now only see the scratch if you get really super close to the TV. When you're at the proper TV viewing distance you cannot see the scratch at all. You can only see the scratch if you are up really unsafe for your eyes close to the TV. All I care about is if it is visible from the normal TV viewing distance & the scratch is not visible at the normal TV viewing distance so I feel good about it. Basically to me the scratch is gone enough since I cannot see the scratch from the normal TV viewing distance.

[@muchasgracias108]

very apreciated the education part to not to beat someone up for making a mistake! heartly thanks dear friend 🙏☮❤🤗

[@jtindahouse7332]

What a legend what a nice guy thank you for the tips x

[@MelihimeGold]

I love this, my baby accidentally scratched the tv and I felt so bad like it was my fault for not having seen when it happened :( thanks for teaching us how to fix it!

[@TawfiqBorYTM]

My dear brother, is the method suitable together with the mobile phone screen, Gorla glass, 5 light scratches

[@buzzlom]

No

[@speedisoftheessence]

You are a legend mate, helped me big time! Subscribed!

[@MusicJunkie37]

Do you have to use isopropyl alcohol after to wipe it off? (I used 99.7% and water mixed together) I did that and it looked not much different compared to after me wiping off the jelly which looked better

[@ZaneGarrett-oy1qd]

Great video and great wisdom as well. Thank you brother.

[@olesyarosli]

The best! Thanks a lot! We have Vaseline in Europe , I suppose that would work as well 🙂

[@FoxyDrew]

Vaseline is just a brand name we use Vaseline in the states too. But Vaseline is quite literally just petroleum jelly, check the ingredients on your tub of Vaseline ;). Just like Q-Tips are the name brand for cotton swabs.

[@jordylemaire7805]

bro I love you I hit a mosquito i the middle of the night right on my tv with a bundle of paper and it scratched the surface... no trace of it anymore, although I didn't have the stuuf you used so just used lip balm and microfibre. idk why it sounded right but it worked so I won't question it lmao

[@bidybablebab27]

Hi there! Toothpaste left a stain on the tv😢 are there any ways to get rid of the stain?

I have a 70” LG 4K tv and I just nicked a small spot in it with and HDMI cable today. Is this something that might work? I’ve heard it’s possible that anything liquid might wick under the surface.

Worked well for me I have a monitor that came with a few small scratches I could see them even when the monitor is on and I can't notice them at all now! I used distilled water I'd be wouldn't use alcohol on a monitor personally I'd be afraid it would damage the coating

[@awesomepants184]

I was so upset when i scratched my literally brand new monitor. I was facing the moral dilemma of having to return it or not. You helped me avoid that. I am truly thankful

[@Ella19990]

I did it some remove some didn't but alittle better than before

[@sternkrieger1950]

FYI, vaseline doesn't actually remove the scratch, it just hides it. The scratch will come back if you clean the vaseline off thoroughly. It's still better than replacing the entire TV or LCD.

[@RalphGreene-t6x]

ok, capt obvious. lol

[@jc3444]

Thanks so much!

Hello it do not work for me :( maybe it doesn't work on recent screen

Why not use liquid screen protector? Or you could try some clear coat. I bet both would work really well.

Sorry to say this but I tried using this jelly thing you used and it was a waste, no matter when I try to clean my stratches from my HP PL5072N plasma TV from March 2007 that I got from May 2022 from Fremont that I found from Craigslist, the stratches still remained, can you please tell me why? Thank you.

buy a new tv

@@HelpingHermit the same one but newer?

[@stephensickmeier6220]

Plasma tvs have an actual glass screen to contain the plasma, thus why they are so heavy. You need to search for repairing scratches in glass.

Bro, who are you kidding? all you did was remove the access debris from the scratch you created. But gotta give it to you, you almost got me convinced. I still can see the scratch after the application you applied at a certain angle. I'll give you an E for effort though.

There is no way that vaseline fixed the screen. It may have changed the way light bounces off of it, but that scratch is still there. You didn't show it up close.

[@gilpetperdon9831]

Sadly i wouldn't be surprised if my scratch is the result after you did what you did, obviously you used scissors, i got mad and used the bottom of my tv remote which didn't dig too deep but the cratch is alot more wider due to it not being a fine blade but the remote foot.

Don’t beat them up 😅

[@NightSentinelProductions]

It didn't work help!

[@ubacow7109]

Will it show up again after a few days?

[@CyberPsychGaming]

It will because what you are doing in this method is filling the scratch groove with jelly. If you use wet cloth or spray something onto the screen and wipe, the wet substance may remove the jelly from the groove.

[@pgvg0205]

After few hours it will return coz it's just a temporary fix
