Cleaning a Matte Black Laptop case

Hi all!

I’ve got a Dell Inspiron Gaming laptop (I’m on mobile, so apologies for the formatting [if it’s messed up] but here’s a link for ya: laptop )

It’s got it’s fair share of problems, but here’s a non-tech tech-support question: the matte black case looks cool, but not with fingerprints. How do I clean long-lasting stains from hand-oils or grease or whatever they are?

For a little more context: while it’s clear that new fingerprints can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth, the ones that have been around for a while cannot, and as a result, I’ve got these massive discolorations (still matte black, looks the same as fingerprints) over the areas where I open/close the laptop and especially over the area I grab when pulling it out of my bag. Unfortunately, I’m not near the laptop at the moment, so I can’t attach pictures, but I’ll edit some in as soon as I can.

So tl;dr : how do you clean stains off a matte black computer case and how do you know which products/chemicals/methods will be safe?

Thanks for the help!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
