ok cheers will try that in a sec, dosent matter how wet the screen is, still squeaks, only thing that stopped it last night was a cupful of water with washing up liquid in, stopped it then started again, next day..



ok just tried pure white vinegar erm sort of quietened a little bit, cheers i`ll see how it goes..
