Silly, That’s just for typos.
I had a stubborn stain on my LCD monitor that rubbing alcohol didn’t remove but lighter fluid did. There was no damage done to the screen. YMMV.
Those work by being extremely abrasive. Not the type of thing you want rubbed on a laptop screen.
So just open a blank text document, misspell something, move the window around on the desktop until the misspelled word is right under the sharpie mark, then apply the whiteout. What’s the matter? Are you blond, or something, and can’t figure that out?
Sure, but then I’d have to leave the word doc up there FOREVER. :rolleyes: geez!
lighter fluid for a zippo lighter or lighter fluid to start a grill?
Well, do you want the marker stain to go away, or not? 
Sometimes, you have to put up with that kind of thing, if you don’t want to have to buy a new machine. :rolleyes:
Wiki says: Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, USP / B.P. contains 68-99% of isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) by volume, the remainder consisting of water, with or without color additives, suitable stabilizers, and perfume oils.
It also says that some rubbing alcohols might be ethyl, not isopropyl.
The one you buy may well be straight up isopropyl, but it seems not all are. Could be a regional thing.
You should try going over the mark with the sharpie again, and immediately wipe it off. I’ve found that that this works pretty well.
For a Zippo.
A Mr Clean Magic Eraser should work fine and not harm you screen.
Dry erase marker. I used the wrong marker on something years ago so I just went over it with the the dry erase marker that is suppose to be removable and is and it went away. So I would test a small spot and see how it goes. Good luck!!!
I just said the same thing. I didn’t read all the answers. So I agree. If the first marker isn’t hurting it I think if he/she goes over with the 2nd then it might be. I hope.
yeah…no - Magic Eraser is pretty abrasive. I used one to clean a nonstick pan and it cleaned it very well, right down to removing the nonstick coating… :eek:
Modern sharpies tend to use an alcohol soluble ink.
That being the case, I’d first try vodka 1:3 in water.
If that’s not strong enough, 1:2 or 1:1 should be.
Then, once you’ve finished drinking that, read the manufacturer’s instructions, which will advise against using ethyl alcohol.
That’s nice. Does the writer of those instructions know of what they speak, or do they just have a horror of ethanol?
For most purposes ethyl and isopropyl alcohols are not all that different.
My confidence in Dell’s notice is significantly decreased by their use of the term ‘ethyl acid’. WTF is that? Do they mean acetic acid, aka vinegar? If so, they should use standard terminology, if they know it.
I take care of this response for you…
*** BANG ***
What ever became of this?
A gum eraser like one used in the drafting realm may work as well.
