So I just got back from obliterating the polarization layer of my Game Boy. It wasn't pretty.

As it turns out, I didn't screw up the ribbon cable in the process! You have no idea how surprised I am! However, I've been left with one or two pretty nasty scratches. Don't ask tongue

I'd like to know if they can be removed. Right now I'm not willing to find a replacement. I plan to solder the backlight, regardless of whether the scratches can be removed or not, but leave the wires long so I can cut them when I do get a replacement somewhere down the line.

I hear non-abrasive toothpaste works. Anyone tried it?

Don't really know to tell you more,try to google or regular scratches doesn't have to be specific for this,other methods can work in your case as well.

I think you're going to be pretty much out of luck for that.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it!

To be honest I don't really mind it. It could've been worse; the scratches could be on the front. So long as the DMG is operational, I've nothing to worry about. I'll do what I can. smile
