    Is your magnesium alloy lid smooth? or does it have "pimples"?

    Smooth...I don't think I've seen one any other way, in Fujitsu anyway.

    mine is smooth, although I am not sure if the casing of the s6231 is entirely Mg alloy.

    Could it be the change in temperature? Last night, i checked the lid, it had small "pimples" on it, now it's not there. Last night i was in A/C room, could that be a problem?

    you absolutely sure you weren't looking at very tiny (hard) water spots? some can be quite stubborn and a nice rub won't even wipe them off.
