How Remove Any SCRATCH Off Flat Screen TV with Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline)

To remove scratches from a TV screen using petroleum jelly, follow these steps:
Clean the screen: Begin by gently cleaning the TV screen using a soft, lint-free cloth. This will help remove any dust or dirt that may be on the surface.
Apply petroleum jelly: Take a small amount of petroleum jelly and apply it directly to the scratched area of the TV screen. Use a clean, soft cloth or your finger to spread a thin layer of petroleum jelly over the scratch.
Rub gently: Using a circular motion, gently rub the petroleum jelly into the scratch. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or rub too vigorously, as this could further damage the screen.
Let it sit: Allow the petroleum jelly to sit on the scratch for about 10-15 minutes. This will give it some time to work on filling in the scratch.
Wipe off excess: After the designated time, take a clean, lint-free cloth and gently wipe off any excess petroleum jelly from the screen. Use gentle, sweeping motions to avoid scratching the screen further.
Inspect the results: Examine the screen to see if the scratch has improved or disappeared. If the scratch is still visible, you can repeat the process or consider seeking professional help for repair.
It's important to note that while petroleum jelly may help reduce the visibility of minor scratches, it may not completely eliminate deep or severe scratches. Exercise caution when applying any substances to your TV screen, and always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and maintenance. #tvrepair

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

[@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

[@lazerlightsub]

2:48 Needed to hear that, thanks man.

[@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...

[@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.

[@user-hx5yx7fs7c]

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

[@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.

[@YuckFouTubeX]

Impressive! You are a Legend! Instead of wondering if it was me or the friend that helped me move my 85 television, I can just fix the damn scratch, crisis averted, thanks Legend!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@CorbettK42]

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

[@maz7824]

Lifesaver 🙏🏽

[@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.

[@user-hx5yx7fs7c]

ok, capt obvious. lol

[@edcaldwell9523]

I tried your petroleum jelly idea it didn't work, any other ideas? If KZbin let me upload a pic I would.

[@ritabryars2734]

Thank you. Can the 75% alcohol wipes work? That I have?

[@YuckFouTubeX]

Can't hurt to try, it's just the same with less strength, but you might not want to rub it all over and just push the wipes on the screen rather than rub, otherwise you might find out the screen looks blurry on that spot

[@deepakjain4481]

Will it work on laptop screen

[@toddlarue2992]

Not only showed me how easily to fix it (I thought there was no way) but also helped me calm down and not kill my kids 😂

awesome

Same here, it might not have fixed the scratch (which is too white in lack of better words) but my waaaaay too eager to help friend will survive 😉

Thank you my 70 inch tv got scratched moving!!

[@thelucentcrow9084]

I tried both methods and it definitely didn’t work unfortunately

[@MorganNye]

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.

[@HelpingHermit]

buy a new tv

[@MorganNye]

@@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.

[@MorganNye]

@@stephensickmeier6220 Like what brand?

Does it works on Iphone screen?

Did it work?!

I have many hairline scratches on my Oled TV that won't appear in daylight but with artificial light, would this method work or it's only for deep scratches?

[@user-hx5yx7fs7c]

Not sure why its working for anyone else as soon as you wipe it with the solution it removes the petroleum jelly, regardless of how soft I go

[@YuckFouTubeX]

I have the same issue, the scratch is simply too deep... I haven't tested my TV yet, it's on insurance so I might just get it replaced... After a while, it was extremely heavy to get in place

[@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.

[@EdSmed20]

i can literally still see the scratch lmao

[@MrDottyrock]

Nothing helps the scratch on my tv.

[@YuckFouTubeX]

Same, at least it's on warranty (the type in where you can basically throw the TV out of the window and demand a new one by law) I haven't even tried the TV yet, maybe it's not noticeable when it's on, but when it's off it's a white line that runs for a while, not the kind easily removed

[@frankfurtrob866]

Oh that was painful watching (hearing) that scratching sound

[@drillbill1]

Petroleum jelly didnt work.

[@marionschluter2287]

[@MrHannessie]

With deep scratches, you just get a greasy screen from vaseline.

[@watchman1629]

Didnt help with my Samsung frame tv

[@LC-ig5hp]

Not sure why anyone can't still see the scratch..it's still there! Just not as visible because it's wet 🤣

[@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

[@pgvg0205]

@@CyberPsychGaming yes it goes off on cleaning sometimes immediately after Cleaning 😂

Didn't work, tried everything and my scratches are less severe than the ones showcased in the video. Don't waste your time, just come to grips with what you did.

[@sonicperformance]

No abrasive in Petroleum jelly so won’t make a permanent difference. If your screen has anti- glare coating and you rub it off with toothpaste, will prob look worse. The best fix is buy a new display 🫤

[@Rspence_86]

Is there any way of reapplying the anti glare coating if this has happened or is it new screen time
