What are these marks on the RNSE MK1?

[Nozrul Islam]

Hi, I've had these marks on my RNSE MK1 screen since I bought the car, tried polishing it but without any joy.
Any idea what it could be or how I could get rid of it? Only really visible when it's off.

looks like someone had a sticky backed product on it , and left some residual glue behind on the face when it was removed, can you feel anything on the screen if you run your finger nail over it.

 

[Nozrul Islam]

No, nothing. Smooth to the touch.

What's it like when the screen lights up?

 

[Nozrul Islam]

When it's on its fine. Everything works so it's not internal I think

 

[carlcall]

Can you see it the same from a different angle?

 

[Nozrul Islam]

Yes mate I can.
Sorry what I meant to say it's less visible when it's on... Here's a photo

Looks like a faulty screen to me

 

[Nozrul Islam]

Not sure, there's no dead pixels or anything. Could it be like a screen protector on it, if so I'll replace that.

 

[Charlie Farley]

from that angle it looks to be on the inside as you can see pixels illuminated over some sections .

Try cleaning it with white vinegar

 

[carlcall]

Does it do it all the time?

 

[Nozrul Islam]

Will try vinegar thanks Joinerman.

Yes Carl constantly there whether on or off.

I was going to say it looks like the anti-glare coating but it doesn't. The only thing I think it could be is maybe the plastic outer screen has partly come away or de-laminated itself from the inside screen somehow.

Maybe @NHN has seen this before?

Looks like someone has had something on that has taken off the anti-glare coating. I think the only thing would be to take it off all over and then put a screen protector on instead...

Yeah if it's just a matter of replacing the screen protector then that I can have a go at, If I can source one and find instructions how to replace it... Time to search online for me... Thanks guys! Oh will try vinegar first.

 

[phil_w]

Certainly a bit weird. Might be best to just cover up... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-BROTEC...762123?hash=item543794f64b:g:duwAAOSw5ClXxgxX

Thanks Phil, is it simple to remove existing protector or does the surrounding of the screen need removing in order to remove the protector?

Just tried white vinegar - no luck!

 

[carlcall]

Try some IPA or a fine car polish

 

[phil_w]

I think you'd have to use an abrasive polish ... not sure but people might have used a plastic polish in the past. It might be that with a cover just stuck over as is that you don't see it anyway ... the custom fit protectors are designed to be stuck on with the frame in place, although I always mess it up with my sausage fingers. Must be an age thing...

Meguiars 105 & 205 compound & Polish did the trick - thanks guys!
Screen is very shiny now, I'll see how I get on with it for the time being before sticking a screen protector on it.

Glad you got it sorted out
