New LG P300 - best way to remove sticker?

Hi there,

So I got a spiffy new LG P300 from Futureshop and love it. It's super light. Looks good (in my opinion). Has basically zero bloatware. It runs games like Unreal Tournament 3 just fine. And even the external drive is really nicely designed.

However like a lot of other Manufacturers, the laptop is covered in stickers. I don't mind so much the Intel, Vista, & Nvidia logos......but does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to remove the big, semi-reflective "features" sticker on the right and how to remove the residual gunk without hurting the chassis face?

 

You can use a hair dryer and let the sticker heat up a bit.

Or you can do other methods:

why do you want to remove them?they protect the surface from your hand oil!

 

Xirurg - That's a valid argument for leaving it on if that is true. But, for example, I don't see my girlfriend's Macbook Pro getting damaged / discolored due to a lack of stickers.

 

it depends on...

1.your hands "type".my hands constantly "oil" the laptop...
2.how good is the laptop material.
3.how hard do you use it.

"I don't see my girlfriend's Macbook Pro getting damaged / discolored due to a lack of stickers" its a girl...and apple

 

Here's how I remove stickers/residue.

1. Peel off sticker(s)
2. Clean residue with paint thinner
3. Clean up paint thinner (if there is any left over).
Lighter fluid also works if you don't have any paint thinner. And no, although paint thinner and lighter fluid are strong chemicals, they won't damage your computer - as long as your don't pour it on the hard drive, just kiddin.

 

peeling the sticker voids the warranty. thats my assumption looking at hte warranty card
