    And now it won't work properly.

    Jerry says he must do a installation or something.

    Im cross. I told him to buy a new one. But no, no, no.

    Anyways, the dirty sticker at the bottom where I type says like this:

    Core 2 Duo. Inel inside.
    And then(rubbed of) Gee Force it or something.
    And something starting with Nv in green.

    This thing looks dirty and I hate dirty things. The thing feels like sticky. Yuk.

    I am really cross. I wanted a new one.

    Can I wash it and show it to him when he gets back thats it clean. (No water just stuff that cleans properly)

    He has been out for a long time now. And I just wanna make him happy cause he has a work function.

    Can I use some dishwasher and stuff just to make it shine? Will it take paint off and stuff too?

    Please help

    Don't use dishwashing liquid. The cleaning agent in it may cause discoloration of the plastic. Do you have any rubbing alcohol at home? Try diluting that with some water and wiping it. Remember, don't use excessive amounts of liquids, just dampen the cloth/paper and wipe away.

    The stickers should read Nvidia, Geforce and Intel Core 2 Duo.

    Jerry is so happy (smile smile from me!!!). I pulled the stickers off last night and gently cleaned the whole thing with a damp rag with a teensie weensie bit of dishwasher liquid!!!!

    Its not sticky anymore and looks brand new.....and best of all Jerry did the installation thing this morning and its working perfectly.

    And its so fast too!!! And Jerry even managed the get us connected with the installation thingie.

    So we are here with the clean puter on Notebook Review now!!!! Smile smile.

    Thanks for all your help
