A Dangerous solution to the MacBook discoloration issue
June 14, 2006 on 2:29 pm | In MacBook, apple |After much discussion, it looks like there might be a solution to the Apple MacBook discoloration issue, which we reported on earlier in the week. Unfortunately this solution does not come from within Apple, but from user trial and error.
Some users are using nail polish remover, to remove the stains from their laptops. Although they are using non-acetone nail polish remover, this still seems like a dangerous short-term solution to this problem, as it may end up destroying the casing of the MacBook over time. Also be aware that the hard drive and memory are located underneath the casing, which is very close to areas where the discoloration appears. We would be very hesitant to apply any chemical over that surface area.
The MacBook discoloration issue seems like it is going to be a reoccurring problem, and without a permanent solution from Apple, it’s probably not worth risking your brand new $1100+ Apple MacBook, by applying harmful chemicals to it’s casing every time this problem occurs.
