One YouTube video that I saw said paper worked better than tissue so I went with that. I used a piece of white computer paper to rub the toothpaste on the scratch. I suspect the kind of toothpaste does not matter. It was not the "simple" kind of toothpaste mentioned above but one of the ones with all the other stuff added. I too was very leery about putting toothpaste on my precious screen, but after googling around I was not getting any better answers so I decided to give it a try. It is a glass screen and unfortunately the scratch was right in the middle and very distracting. I’d first go to an Apple Store and “ask” what are the options, they may be “cool” and give you a hand. Unless you pay Apple to do it (and charge you accordingly).

More specifically, check this area, where it explains how to change the front display glass.īear in mind that doing any of this will break your warranty. Check iFixIt for pictures of stripped Macbooks and possibly guides on how to “open them”. It’s not impossible (I have opened a Macbook Pro Unibody) but it requires patience and the right tools. This Google Query may bring other results. I don’t have experience with these things.

According to every vendor “they are the same, they look the same, you won’t notice the difference”. Remember that Apple does not sell these parts and therefore these are “copies” of it. Get one of these (make sure it’s the right model for your macbook) and start unscrewing stuff :) If it’s only the glass and you don’t want apple to do it for you (and charge you accordingly) you can do it yourself.
