Dark marks on laptop surface

[Sul]

Hi

I have a 816s laptop and I'm noticing some dark marks or spots on either side of the mousepad. Someone suggested it could be because of sweaty palms :smileyhappy:. So I tried to clean the laptop surface there with a damp cloth but it had no effect. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The marks are most likely just due to teh fact that you are a heavy user and the marks are actually the paint being polished away. I suspect the markst will gradually get darker. (you probably alsdo find that the letters are wearing away from the keyboard)

The only realistic solution is to buy some sticky backed vinyl and cover the whole of the "wrist-rest" area.

any other ideas chaps??

In Japan, you can buy soft keyboard covers for laptops. This allows you to eat digestive biscuits and coffee while at your laptop. I have never seen them in the UK though...

And hello to you too tapjor :smileygrin:

Oh yes, a full cling could be quite liberating, and as for protection, it would keep sticky substances at bay, off the keyboard that is :smileyrolling_eyes:

Actually come to think of it Stevep, I do remember seeing one, Ill have to think about it
