Possible Solution For MacBook Discolouration

dr_doof · Jul 10, 2008

As I was sulking about the palmrests of my old macbook (white) getting dirty and slightly yellow, i decided to have a go at erasing the palmrests with a rubber. quick and simple yet very effective- it took away most of the yukky stuff! you will actually be able to see the cleaned area!

tell me if this method works.

hope this solves some people' issues!

Yeah I figured, but I wasn't sure if an eraser was the piece of rubber he was talking about. Just thought it was funny. Mental image and all.

When he said rubber i thought he was talking about a condom.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser works just as well as a eraser. Maybe even better.

i just used the mr. clean magic eraser about an hour ago and it worked very nicely, i was excited to see the dirt coming off. i also used it lightly in the spaces between the keys. just make sure to ring out as much water as possible and use a paper towel to wipe down the access.

I just tried the eraser and it made it worse. Turned the discoloration pink. Perhaps I need a white eraser.

lol u should have tried the white eraser. but, maybe its the REAL discoloration and not just dirt, so if nothing else works, take it to apple and have it replaced.
