Removing Sharpie from LCD?

[green machine]

I got a few LCD TV's for free...nothing shady, don't worry. The problem is someone wrote on them with black sharpie. Is there any way I can remove it or are these monitors a lost cause?

From another site:

I got it off.
I used a dry erase marker. Apparently it breaks up the sharpies permanent ink just fine. Good as new. I used a red one in case anyone was curious. But the color doesn't matter.
Found a thread about it here:

That's where I got the idea.

The dry erase marker people even sell a marker that's colorless (I think) for removing permanent marker from white boards. You may want to invest in one of those. I saw 'em at an office supply store.

I was just about to post this, I was able to get sharpie off of an LCD computer monitor like this

Thanks for the help. I used the dry erase method and it worked pretty well. Now I gotta see if I can actually fix these. Two of the tv's use power cords that are proprietary to sharp and therefore are very expensive.

I might be able to get a few cables, maybe we can work something out like I get one of the TVs and you get a cable???

How did the sharpie get on the LCD?

Rather ironic, yes.

The big issue is I don't know what is actually wrong with the TVs, I just know they are broken. I would happily do that kind of trade if I knew these things actually worked.

Because the TV's were broken they had the word "BAD" written on them.
