HP, Are You Listening?

If I could give Hewlett-Packard one piece of advice about their laptops, this would be it: put as many stickers on the laptop as you want, but DON’T EVER use adhesive that doesn’t come off cleanly.

Last night, I decided to remove a bunch of colorful stickers from my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6445us) . Most of them came off easily and without much of a fuss, but the AMD64/nVidia/Broadcom and the Windows Vista ones did not. They did come off, but they left a sticky residue that stayed.

I tried every­thing I had — all-purpose cleaner, dish-washing deter­gent, cloth deter­gent, tooth­paste, hydrogen peroxide and toilet cleaner. Nothing worked. I’ll have to find someone with nail-polish remover to see if that gets rid of the gum.

I didn’t ask for stickers. I don’t want stickers. I don’t want sticky gum on my laptop.

    try putting some paper against it, so that it sticks with the existing gum, then yank it off. Do it a few times– should work. If all else fails, stick the original sticker back there..
