Recently, I was installing a new screen protector on my flawlessly unscratched touchscreen since the old one was looking pretty old already. I was having a little trouble installing the new one since a bit of dust always seems to find its way underneath the screen, so I kinda used a damp cloth to clean the screen whenever something went underneath. However, once I thought I got it perfectly, to my horror, I found 3 scratches around the lower right center area of the screen! Well, at least I think they're scratches, because I tried cleaning them and they won't move.
I took off the protector again and tried wiping it, hoping they're not scratches, but they won't come off. However, I'm kinda skeptical if they really are scratches because when I rub my fingernails on the scratches, they feel as smooth as they've ever been. Plus, the 'scratches' seem like they're underneath the touch screen itself. Now, I don't know where these 'pseudoscratches' came from ;P Has anyone gotten similar lesions on their screens before? Are they just dust underneath the touch screen? Or are they really scratches, but scratches from underneath? And if they are, how did they get there? I never opened up my DS Lite before. Hopefully you guys can give me some peace of mind.. Thanks
