Thank Thank You. My niece marked our monitor with Sharpie and I am so thankful for the advice to use rubbing alcohol. It worked.

I would definitely suggest alcohol. I was a little freaked out when my almost 3 yr old got a hold of a permanent marker and drew all over my computer screen. Read this and tried it and it was off in seconds.

I tried the alcohol and it took some of the marker off, but I followed up with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and it took all of it off. Thanks for the great advice!

Rubbing alcohol worked great! My 2 year old just Sharpied herself and my brand new 22" flat screen monitor. It came right off the monitor with the alcohol. My daughter will get the scrubbie treatment in the bath tonight.

My five year old granddaughter had gotten red permanent marker on the laptop screen. I googled how do I get rid of permanent marker and your site came up. I thought what do I have to loose? Tried the dry erase marker and I could not believe it! Unbelievable! Can't wait for my husband to see the screen and wonder how I did it?

I have been told thousands of times to never use any kind of solvent on your LCD. The WD40 idea sounds extremely frightening as it has oil in it too.
My five year old son used a sharpie. One nice line, dead center. I freaked as the 24 inch monitor was an expensive one. I reluctantly used the alcohol swab method and to my surprise and pleasure it worked. Thank God. The porousness of these types of monitors are not made to be used with solvents. Solvents can create a smooth spot that will never look the same. If you do use a solvent on your screen be very gentle. The rubbing alcohol pad gently saved me. I don't like the sound of dry erase marker over the sharpie either. Somehow it seems to mentally add more to the problem.
Thank you grocery woman Laurie for the most experienced sounding advise.

Black & Gold Hairsprey & Paper Wipe is all it took, sprey onto th paper then wipe, then wipe with a clean one.

It seems like all of our children would get along great :-). I wouldn't have thought I'd be able to find the solution to this mess. The dry erase marker worked amazingly! Thanks

Wow! I was frantic when I saw that my 1 1/2 yr old scribbled all over my husbands flat screen. I could just hear him when he got home, "Why wasn't your mother watching you?!?"
anywho, the dry erase marker truly worked like a charm! it even worked on the speaker that she got to and the headphones. thank you so much kay!

my daughter drew on my sony vaio laptop screen with a permanent marker. i tried the regular screen cleaner but it didn't work. i tried cvs' sterile alcohol swab -with gentle minute strokes - and the markings disappeared. i looked at the spot from various angles to see if the screen has been damaged - but i didn't notice any.

Alcohol should work- as long as your screen is glass rather than plastic (I believe many of the newer flat screens are plastic which makes them lighter weight.)

Rubbing alcohol that comes in those single paks---kinda like a handy wipe. I work in a grocery store that has the new computer screens and that is all we are allowed to use. Cleans up beautifully.
