Nail polish on flat screen (computer)

Solved

Hello,
First of all, I would like to apologize for being so direct, but my 2-year-old little brother just applied nail polish on my computer screen. Obviously, by the time I realized it, the polish had dried.
Is there a way to remove it without risking damaging my screen (my computer is a Packard Bell laptop, so it has a flat screen)?
Thank you

P.S.: I’m not really sure where to post, so if I’m in the wrong place, please let me know ;D
Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

    I'm in the same situation: my girlfriend got nail polish on my Samsung flat screen...
    I would like to know if you tried the nail polish remover and the result...
    Thanks in advance.

      Well, the other day I armed myself with gentle nail polish remover (I don't know if the fact that it's gentle is really important) and cotton swabs... The stain came off and my screen is in perfect condition ^^
      Thank you for your help

    I just made the same mistake, and I moistened my nail and gently scratched the screen... The mark was very fine.

    Hum... I think the solvent might "melt" it, right? I was considering trying with F solvent, but I wanted to know if anyone has ever had a problem like this before.

      I used cleaning wipes for glasses and it worked very well. I gently cleaned the screen so as not to damage the computer.

    Well, I'm going to try the cotton swab/solvent I think, and if that doesn't work, I'll definitely buy one of those products.

    I would be tempted to say that it would be better to let it dry well for 1 or 2 days and gently scrape with something flat when it’s completely dry and ready to flake. If it’s a glossy screen, there’s a good chance it won’t leave any marks; on a matte screen, I have more doubts…

    Try scratching it with your nail; sure, it will scratch it, but you won't have the stain anymore.

    oula...... well, get used to this beautiful stain.... or maybe try with a little cotton swab and some nail polish remover, but I wouldn't be surprised if it leaves a mark.
