Man, that case you posted would make for an awesome Super Meat Boy if you painted it right.

oddly enough, he did paint it to look like meat.

Sticky greasy mark... I'd have to see it. Can't imagine what that would be. You should always start with the least destructive solutions and work your way up. As a rule of thumb, acetone has no place anywhere near a Gameboy. Case in point:

Seen that pic before. Was that you sometime or someone else?

Are you sure it was 100% acetone and didn't contain any harmful solvents, such as water?

Lol.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I feel stupid!

But hey - for the price of 3 beers I learned something and I now have a spare DMG to practice mods on before doing it on a decent case...silver linings and all that...

By the way, it wasn't dust is was some sticky greasy mark. I'm not sure what else I. Could use on the LCD screen itself. What would I do next time?

Thanks for your help anyway!

Might be okay?

So for some reason I thought acetone was a good shout.

Oh dear.

Totally FUBARed the screen I think.

Also, didn't know it would dissolve the case, so part of it looks a little shiny from when I was trying to get the glue that held the screen protector off.

Sad face.

To be fair it was a difficult mark, but I could have tried household cleaner instead!

Lesson learned... :-(
