    I have a DV 5000t for about 4 months and the touch pad finish is worn in the middle of the pad and each week the spot gets bigger.The silver finish turns white. Anybody out there have the same problem. I have a emachines notebook for three years and the black finish is still perfect.

    I can't believe nobody has worn touch pads on HP notebooks

    Well you could try to put a light coat of paint. I am not sure what you could use and it would be at your own risk. Touchpads work by sensing heat from your hands. So if you put too much on it wouldn't work.
