Hi All!

I am new here, and have a couple questions about the replacement or removal of scratches from the touch screen. I have attempted to use toothpaste but it did not remove them completely. I can get a bottom replacement from a local gaming center for $20 (installed) is this a good deal? or would it behoove me to relace it myself?

Secondly is there a guide somewhere on replacing the bottom screen?

Thanks!

SB

Yeah I don't know how it got scratched since it was that way when I bought the unit for $10. So I guess I am ahead either way with the replacement. I'm just cheap though and would like to know if there is a way that works to remove the scratches in the future.

    No it's revenue and demand south park could argue has a bigger audience than family guy about the same

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
