How to Fix a DS With a Big Line Scratch

The DS is Nintendo's handheld gaming console and competes directly with the Sony PSP. Unlike the PSP, the DS comes with a touch-screen LCD. Since the screen is sensitive, a line scratch can really hinder your ability to use the unit effectively. Their are measures you can take to remove a line scratch that won't cost a lot of money and won't take up too much of your time.

Things You'll Need

Microfiber cloth
Screen scratch remover (if necessary)

Instructions

- 1
  Unplug the power cable from the side of the DS and turn the unit off.
- 2
  Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the surface of the screen where the scratch is located. Apply moderate pressure and wipe in a circular motion over the scratch. If this doesn't remove the scratch, then it is too deep for a simple cloth.
- 3
  Purchase a screen scratch remover from your local cellular or video game supply retailer.
- 4
  Dab the microfber cloth with the scratch remover liquid.
- 5
  Wipe the area of the scratch the same way you did the previous time: with moderate pressure and moving in circles.
- 6
  Continue until the scratch is removed from the screen.
