  1. Olive oil
  2. use minitor wiper. I found it glasses wiper work well in most case.
  3. key word SUPER it doesnt come off
  4. you might ruin your screen so idk.
  5. try Googone...
  6. Man you're basically screwed.. Crazy glue actually melts plastics.
  7. Steaming hot rag Slowly and gently wipe it off of the monitor
  8. 1. Unplug the monitor and detacth it from the computer 2. Lay it flat, screen side up and have a bright light overhead. 3. Put a moderate amount of nail polish remover on a cotton ball and GENTLY rub it into the glue. The glue should eventually flake apart. * I can't stress this enough- YOU HAVE TO BE GENTLE OR YOU WILL SCRATCH THE SCREEN! Good Luck!
  9. If the front of the screen is glass try a really sharp knife. If its made of plastic, I think you have ruined your monitor.
  10. you could use some kind of monitor cleaner? but it probably wont come off since its super glue but dont use anything too strong cos it could ruin the screen
  11. Some sort of acidic liquid thing like cleaning stuff or vinegar, or a really hot cloth. You might wanna turn the computer of before you do anything drastic just in case.
  12. Lay the monitor flat and use something PLASTIC (NOT a knife as previously suggested to try to chip it off) - think something like bread tag or a plastic fast food knife, etc. Get off as much as you can gently, then use finger nail polish remover (must be ACETONE) and a q-tip to break it down. I wouldn't use a cotton ball b/c it'll get all over the monitor and probably dull the surface layer of plastic. Be careful b/c Acetone does "eat" plastic (that's why ppl w/ artificial finger nails can't use acetone polish remover). There is also available "artifical fingernail remover" that contains acetone and oil to protect the surface while simultaneously breaking down the super glue. You could buy this and use a q-tip to make sure you don't get it all over the place. Good luck!
  13. I'm thinking taking a q tip and a little bit of nail polish remover (acetone base), and just gently rub on it...maybe that will help? Thats about the only thing I can think of doing to remove it?
  14. You can't get it off at all. The only possible removal ways are to wipe it when wet, soak in hot soapy water (can't see you doing that to your computer), melting the screen with acetone (nail polish remover) or sanding it away with some sand paper (not a good idea, or using a product such as goo b gone or oops which will remove the computer screen surface as well as the glue so just ignore it as best you can or buy a new monitor.
