My 3 year old daughter decided to get artistic with a black Sharpie permanent marker! I freaked because it was on a LCD computer monitor which has a plastic screen. After reading some of the suggestions, I tried non-acetone nail polish remover. Much to my surprise and relief, it removed it completely and did no damage to the screen. If you have a similar situation, try using non-acetone nail polish remover and you won't be disappointed!
Source: Primarily from your website, but there wasn't any specific posts stating non-acetone nail polish remover as being used and being 100% successful.

My 2 year old grandson decided one day to draw on my computer screen with black permanent marker,and about two weeks later he decided to draw on it again. This time he used red and blue on top of the black, so I decided to search the web and came across this site,and read what GTA67 has posted,so i decided to try it,. I was very surprised how easy it came off the screen, even the black marker came off just as easy. I would like to say thank you gta67 for posting this,
you as well can use isopropyl alcohol A.K.A rubbing alcopropyl
Happened to me as well!!! " year old grandson. The rubber worked. Thankyou
Alcohol didnt work.. not sure if it matteed that it was wintergreen
I tried what user GTA67 advised and it work wonderfully! Thanks so much!
Magic Eraser seems to work rather well with no apparent damage to the computer screen.
A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser moistened with a little water took Sharpie right off of both of my Dell 4K monitors that our great niece had scribbled on. It also took it off of the lid of my MacBook Pro. Nice try, baby.
I used a magic eraser and a normal nail polish remover to remove black sharpie of my computer screen
Thank you for the magic eraser trick. No nail polish remover needed just the magic eraser and a bit of water
when i couldnt find nail polish remover i opted to give hand sanitizer a try. worked like a charm- it came off as if it were dry erase. wish i could say the same for my desk ><
I tried it and it came off quickly. Thanks so very much.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I tried using something called AWESOME, and it didn't do ANYTHING, then I tried HAND SANITIZER and still NO RESULTS in taking the sharpie ink off my computer screen. I will buy the magic eraser and non acetone polish remover, and IF neither one of those don't work, does ANYONE have ANY MORE BRIGHT ISEAS as to what else to try next?
Thank you! I accidentally got sharpie ink on the outside of my husbands computer, used hand sanitizer came right off with small amount being used thank you
i have try everything cant get off my laptop screen.
Thank you so much for this saved my life after our 4 year old coloured the whole screen black.
Think I tried everything top no avail and then tried this, came off instantly.
