So I got a Digimon D3 and noticed the screen scratched up here and there. I'm rather OCD about my stuff so looked for a way to fix the screen if possible. I read about Displex on here but was iffy about spending so much on such a tiny bottle of something I wasn't sure would work. Looked around online and then found out about Meguiar's Plastx.

 

This stuff works great, it's not harsh at all and got rid of most of my scratches. It's a plastic cleaner and polish all in one and it's only about 6 bucks at Wal-Mart for a 295mL/10 fl oz bottle. A lot more for your buck than Displex! You can find it in the automotive section next to the waxes.

 

Here's a link to it on the store site: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiar-s-Plast-X-Clear-Plastic-Cleaner-and-Polish/16550253

Weird question, do you have a gameboy or anything else kind of related, different types of plastics,.

I would LOVE some before and after pictures if possible as well :)

I only have a DS Lite and a 3DS and with touch screens and such I wouldn't recommend this product, it may be too harsh. The GBA I had I sold, and I gave my GBA-SP to a friend. I also sold my PSP.

 

I tried it on my LG Octane phone external screen and it didn't help much if at all--the plastic is probably different than those used for vpet screens. I'll take a look and see what I've got, though.

 

Also, it's originally used for cars, but you can see how to use it and how it works here as this young man uses and reviews it:

So I just got a Nano Bunny today and noticed the screen had multiple scratches on it and a ding. I managed to clean it up with Plastx and I took before and after pictures to show you the results.

      Tamgotchi Devil LCD Screen leaking
      By Candythief
      Hello!
      I'm having that Devilgotchi for many yeas, it was stored in a drawer. Recently, I reactivated it and somehow it has some LCD like looking stains at the corners of the screen...
      Luckily these stains are very minimal and are not bothering much, but i still find it a bit sad. Does anybody know what could have caused these?
      Does anyone know how to fix it?  
      Thanks in advance.

      Best way to buff scratches on Meets?
      By GayALaMode
      Recently I’ve stumbled upon a tumblr post regarding Polywatch being a suitable scratch buffer for color Tamagotchi’s, such as magical meets. Unfortunately after about 2-3 days of play, I got a nasty vertical scratch on my meets screen. 
      I went with Polywatch because it seemed like there was a fair amount of debate on whether or not Duplex works or not, or ruins screens in general. After about 4-5 applications, the smaller screen scratches are nearly gone, however the larger one is still present. I’m going to post my overall results on my tumblr to show before/after images.
      Anyone have any positive experiences with their own solutions to removing scratches?

      Tamagotchi Digimon V1
      By TamaDude7
      My Digimon has 3 missing vertical lines on the screen. I have opened it up and cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol, but the lines are still there.
       
      Any recommendations?

      Crinkle in Screen?
      By QueenRita
      I'm looking for Tamagotchi's to buy and this particular listing is a V4.5. It has a crinkle in the screen? It's really confusing me... I'm concerned about it, and if it means anything or not.
       

       
      I don't know if you can really see it from here, and I've been looking at this listing for days waiting for the seller to return from vacation so I could make an offer and I just noticed it. It's in the lower lefthand corner of the screen. What do you guys think that is?
       
      Overview; I've been looking at this tamagotchi listing for a while and just noticed a crinkle in the screen. What is it and is it safe to purchase? Thanks!

      Tip for Screen Problems After Reassembly
      By Knighttchi's Ballad
      Today, after being prompted by the success of restoring my V4's sound with duct tape, I decided to clean off the button contacts of my V3 which had becoming more and more unresponsive. To make a long story short, I cleaned of the contacts and the buttons themselves, let them dry, and screwed the whole thing back together, and was greeted by a third of the screen missing. I screamed. Although, my screams are more of a sudden, perhaps a single pitch upward, "no!". In the next few moments I panickedly worked on my V3, fixed it, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was completely reset but that was a small price to pay for a still working Tamagotchi. I was so relieved that I barely noticed how responsive the buttons were, the real reason I had decided to mess with it in the first place.
       
      What fixed my V3's screen problems was simply turning the screws on the back of the circuit board the farthest they would go. As I encountered the same screen problems when I took apart my Angelgotchi - a story I may just one day recount - I've concluded this a general Tamagotchi reassembly principal. Thus, if any screen problems - be it faded pixels, blank screen sections, or a blinking low battery symbol - appear after taking apart a Tamagotchi, make sure that the screws on the circuit board are tightened the farthest they will go.
       
      And as a little extra advice, make sure the reset button is in place and the screen is clean before finally screwing a Tamagotchi back together. :^)
