How to Fill a Cracked Screen With Toothpaste (5 Steps)


Place a hand towel on a table. Place the cellphone on the towel with the screen facing up. Blow off the screen with a burst of compressed air. Wipe the edges of the screen with a soft cloth to remove any dust that has gathered there. Blow the screen off again with the compressed air.
Apply toothpaste to the end of the cotton swab. Wipe the excess toothpaste off the sides of the swab with your finger. Wash your finger with water.
Hold the swab in your right hand. Hold the cellphone down with your left hand. Place the covered tip of the swab against the screen at the left side of the crack. Press down gently as you drag the tip across the length of the crack. Remove the tip once the other side of the crack is reached. Discard the swab.
Wrap the soft cloth around the pinky finger of your right hand. Hold the cellphone down with your left hand. Place the covered tip of your pinky against the screen at the left side of the crack. Press down gently as you drag the covered tip of your pinky along the length of the crack. Remove your pinky from the screen once you reach the other side of the crack. Place the soft cloth aside.
Inspect the screen to see if the crack is no longer visible. If you can still see the crack, repeat the entire procedure again starting with the application of the toothpaste to the swab and the swab to the screen.

The MacBook Superdrive Won't Burn


Verify that the CD is a CD_R, DVD-R, or CD-RW disc. This information will be printed on the disc. If iTunes indicates the disc is already written to, try another blank disc.
Check the underside of the disc for dust and dirt.
Gently wipe off the bottom of the disc with a soft cloth and try the disc again. If you notice excessive scratches on the disc, try a new blank disc.
Press the 'Eject' key on the top-right of the keyboard and hold it down to verify a disc is not already in the drive.
