    When I close the M15x lid I see light on the bottom right corner , its only when I turn on the light pipe but its there, its like the silver chipped off or something... Anyone have a link on ebay of what type of marker i should buy to cover it up, please only if you had experience in this... If you know any other way to cover it up please let me know...


    Also wondering if anyone knows a cool place I can buy some stickers to put on the laptop near the touchpad...

    Do stickers void the warranty ? I doubt it but still had to ask. And what about the GMask since it is a little more hardcore than a regular sticker.

    photobucket or imageshack if you want to upload it to a web-based place. you could also add the pic as an attachment to your next post.

    yup, definitely chipped paint. i'd go to a crafts shop and look at a few different hues of silver to best match it.
