I've never had to use it...but, vasalene (vasaliene?) Yes...that petroluem jelly in a jar. Smear a tad on the scratch and see if it works. I swear...people swear by it.
Ok, my son is looking into buying one, and I wonder if any of you would recommend any or maybe recommend avoiding any? Not for gaming, just basic stuff. If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. I just realized it might help if I elaborate a little. My son is 22 and just recently graduated from college and will soon leave to fulfill his military duty. He was in rotc.

Before my thread gets totally hijacked...
Go to Search , on the top of your screen, click and type in laptop or notebook. You can find other threads about purchasing a new computer. I bought a Dell because they seemed to be the only company still selling with XP, I didn't want Vista. They are inexpensive and I've purchased six wth no problems. Except for my scratch, that I did myself.
Thanks Rance, I will try that but are you sure it won't ruin the screen? Anyone else with a suggestion?

I swear Rapture. More than one person has suggested it. I don't own a laptop so I've never done it. But it should not hurt it if there is no hole punched into the screen.
I did a search to see what they had to say about scratches and it seems the most common recommendation is a gentle, non-detergent cleaning, repeatedly.
I have a laptop and frequently (not so frequently) clean it with my eye-glass cleaner (perhaps you might want to try that diluted).
Otherwise, I'd call the dealer and ask them--it may be harder to replace a laptop screen than a regular screen.
