get them off with [anasonic scatch remover for tv!

Since the screen is very thin, it is very difficult to do even buffing. Contact the service providers for any solution. My guess is you may have to replace the display. In that case, it is better to wait for a major defect in the TV.

No. you would run the risk of expelling the plasma gas if you tried window repair kits too.



Thank you! :)

It sounds like you accidentally activated picture in picture with a dead station tuned in or a different input selected for the P.I.P.
Start around page 52 of the user manual for instructions on this.

If you turn off the PIP, everything should go back to normal.

hello, you can if you take your time searching for the same model, the best way is to find a same model tv at an auction site. a tv that is "sold as is" and not working as long as the screen is good and not cracked you can switch it out and or switch your internal boards to the tv you get at auction,i have done this a few times. the last tv i repaired was a phillips 32 inch lcd with a tv i got "as is not working" at auction site for very cheap everything works fine, if you try to buy a replacment screen at a parts store forget it they cost to to much, sometimes more than what you paid for the tv in the first place. hope this helps..

The only way to repair it is to replace the panel...very expensive.

It is glass but it may have a treatment on the surface, typically cleaning it will help. Buff with a microfiber cloth.

try calling a glass store and i believe they do have a polish that will take them out but be very careful that glass will break
VERY easy

Yes,tries websites Shopjimmy.com,Partstore.com or Ebay.com .

Buy a new alkaline batteries and try to use with them , if this dont have any effect , in the original manual of the tv , are the code of the remote , and finally if you dont find the code in the manual , buy a universal remote control , to use it with the tv

Model number of your Sony Bravia would really help to find out proper solution of screen scratches.
You can replace front screen in few models so let me know exact model number written at back of TV.
Thanks.

These are due to blown pixels (normally show in green) your son has probably pressed too hard and caused them to pop, once popped gone forever !!!
