Trackpoint mark on LCD?

[akerman]

I have the same problem.. I get a circular grease-mark on the screen, right where the trackpoint is. Maybe it's because I use the raised trackpoint cap, where people without the problem uses the one that is rounded downwards.

Btw: I wouldn't want to work in a place, where just looking at the word "c**t" could get you fired. Talk about a dreary/humorless place

the way i see it.. if you're actually on the forum doing "work" (IT, etc) then vulgar stuff can be a problem. but if it's totally unrelated to your job, (you just like thinkpads, etc) then you shouldn't even be here... you should be working..

Back to the scratches on the LCD, I'm sure I've seen something on IBM's website that says this is not covered under warranty. I can't find that statement now, but these links may be useful, even though they refer only tangentally to screen scratching.

Symptom: There is a scratch-like marking on the LCD. This might be a stain transferred from the TrackPoint or from the key tops of the keyboard when the cover was pressed from the outside.
