If the machine receives pressure and there is dust, it can get scratched

Re: wear and tear on 15.2 PBG4 display and cures

[Jim Katz]

Let me add my voice - I have an original Ti-400.  No keyboard 'scratches'
ever, and I have not seen any on any other machines.  The finger oil marks
do clean off with moist wipes of different sorts, or screen cleaner if you
want to spend money for brand names.  No real marks in three years.

The improvement in the situation after a repair is often due to the
repairman replacing the tiny rubber bumper/spacers at the front corners of
the machine. The keyboard temporarily no longer touches the screen until
they wear down again.

Now can somebody tell me how to keep the screw next to the power adapter
input from loosening all the time...?

The TiBooks, especially the original model, had such small clearance that
the keys actually left impressions in the LCD that remained even after
cleaning. Later models, it seemed to me, generally left oil but no permanent
impressions.

My new alBook LCD had oil from the Fkey row but no other keys. (This varies
from person to person. My office mate's alBook has oil marks from his return
and shift key but nothing else.) Interestingly, when the tech replaced my
LCD to fix the white spot problem (mine didn't show up until after 5 months
of use) it also solved the oil impression problem. Two months on the second
LCD and I haven't seen the first sign of oil.

The screen doesn't get scratched.  It just gets some finger oil on it
transferred from the keys.   They clean up nicely.  I have never seen real
damage from that cause.

Mikeal,
There are screen protectors out there that you can put directly on the  
screen to protect it. I have also seen soft fabric sheets that cover  
the keyboard/trackpad etc and when closed will provide protection for  
the screens.

This problem as far as I know was fixed for the latest PowerBooks

On most displays this isn't visible under normal operation as the light
drowns or masks the problem, but when working in daylight I can imagine
it being a real problem.

wear and tear on 15.2 PBG4 display and cures

[Mikael Byström]

Considering the common problem of the early PB G4's with the keyboard
scratching the display surface: Are there any finishes one can (re)apply
to diminish the problem or other cures?

On most displays this isn't visible under normal operation as the light
drowns or masks the problem, but when working in daylight I can imagine
it being a real problem.
