    When I got my 1810T it had a sticker on the bezel on the left side of the screen.

    I took that off and there's a rectangle area of what looks like adhesive residue. I tried wiping it off with a microfiber cloth, but that didn't work. Is there something I can use to remove the residue that won't harm the plastic bezel?

    Use lighter fluid.

    I have some butane. Is that the same thing?

    Depends on the Lighter. Butane evaporates too fast.
    I would try if rubbing with the naked finger removes the residue.

    No! :D Lighter fluid is liquid at room temps and fuels lighters like zippos. The butane only stays liquid under pressure and turns into a gas when the pressure is released at room temps. That's why it makes a bad solvent. Try goop?
