    Hey guys,

    I've seen a lot of threads about trying to remove the stickers/the residue created when you remove them.

    Heres what i just did that worked perfectly:

    Peel up a little bit of the corner as usual, as you pull, try and pull slowly.
    When the stick comes completely off, if there is any residue left, rub the adhesive side of the sticker against the notebook where the residue is. It will remove the residue or make it easier to remove by hand and no marks are left!

    You can also use rubbing alcohol, as it breaks up the glue but generally doesn't harm the paint/plastic. Good idea though.

    May I suggest, with the notebook off, unplugged, and battery out; put a drop of water on the adhesive residue and let it sit for 15 min. Then dry it up and rub the residue off.

    I recommend dipping the area in a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid.
