Dealing with scratches on Vita screen
Hey guys
Dunno if someone already posted this method but i'm using it constantly to revive heavily scratched screens
Basically the steps are:
Remove deep scratches with sandpaper 2000-4000, i use toothpick and a little stripe of sandpaper around the tip for precise sanding
Polish sanded spot with body compound and cotton swab
Buy tempered glass for your model, remove sticky layer leaving only glass. Just start peeling off from the corner with a nail, it'll take some force but be careful not to break it, i do it while glass lays flat on the desk
Clean the screen and isolate surroundings with some tape, kapton works best imo. Place the tape as far from screen as possible, check photos, when placed close to screen it will get in the way of the glass when installing it
Pour UV-glue with a horizontal line in the middle of the screen and place that prepared glass on top
Cook the glue with UV lamp and you're done!
On the pics under the light some scratches are still visible but irl it's night and day difference, screen is pretty much usable again
