DV6-1030US paint coming off left touchpad button

A small rice-sized irregular piece of the chrome paint has come off the plastic left button after only two months. It's not a nice smooth wear spot but with rough edges and is annoying.
I know it's just a cosmetic problem but it seems that the coating should not be coming off a two-month-old laptop that cost $700.
After about 90 minutes with HP Online Chat (who actually suggested I bring it in to the local Wal-mart for some reason !?), the Chat guy gave me a phone number and I talked with a Mumbai-based tech who was only willing to write up a service order for me to send it in which would entail unacceptable loss of use, risk of damage and the shipping expense.
I don't understand why they can't just send a new button cover. It would be cheaper than having me send in a functional laptop for a simple cosmetic repair. With 25 years of hardware & software development, I could easily change the part myself. If anyone has any clue as to how to get a replacement cover (even at my own expense), please let me know.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to be dismayed at the lack of common sense exhibited in my dealings with corporate America.

Paint Rubbing Off Black Macbook

The other day, I found a small spot on the corner of the lid of my Macbook where the matte coat seems to have rubbed off. Today, I noticed that the spot has gotten slightly larger. It looks like it's peeling. Is this covered by the One-Year Limited Warranty?

I think they're painted and then a matte coating is sprayed on. My problem is that some of the coating has come off. It's small but it really bugs me and I'm afraid it might get bigger because it seems like it's flaking off.

Laptop paint coming off around touchpad

Hi, I have an HP 1a30us and the warranty ran out about 2 months ago. Right before the warranty ended, I had the laptop sent in to be fixed because the paint around the touchpad area kept chipping off. When I got it back, the parts where the paint had came off were gone and it looked like they replaced those parts.
Within the first couple weeks that I got it back repaired, the paint started chipping of again, and in the same area. I'm not using the touchpad area it with long, sharp fingernails or anything, just normal use, so I can't understand how the paint keeps chipping off. It would be great if HP could repair it again even though its out of warranty, because its the same problem I had before, and it hasn't stayed fix.
Thanks.

Is it on the right button, too? It is happening right where you touch it the most, but should be able to withstand normal wear. But replacing those parts is expensive and likely not worth it unless there is a functional issue.

Paint coming off Compaq Touchpad

Hello
Ive had my Compaq Presario CQ60-203NR Notebook for more than a year, and only in the last few months have I noticed a small spot on my touchpad get bigger. It seems to be in the same place that I touch, so I understand it's wear and tear. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to cover/fix/protect it?
Thank You
This question was solved.

Wear and tear, you could get a replacement top cover.

W520 Paint Rubs Off

Hello everyone!
My W520 is only a couple weeks old, and already the paint on all four top corners has completely rubbed off (the corners are shiny) and there is a smudge on the top of my computer of permanently rubbed-off paint. I'm EXTREMELY careful with my laptop and the only wear and tear it gets is when I carefully place it in my Northface backpack (with a soft built-in laptop sleeve) for transportation. After hearing so much about Thinkpad quality and durability, I'm really surprised the paint began rubbing off after a couple days.
Has anyone else had these problems (so quickly after purchasing)? Is there a possibility that the paint on my W520 is a bad batch?
Thank you!
- Michael
P.S. Other than the bad paint, the laptop is amazing and I would definitely recommend it to others. I've been an Apple user for 10 years and this is my first PC since then and I'm very happy with the performance... Just not the build quality. If Lenovo uses better quality materials, I would probably try to talk the entire applied mathematics deparment at my university to switch away from Apple. Seriously, this thing is blazingly fast and cuts through numerical computations on MATLAB and C!

Hi Michael:
I've had about half a dozen ThinkPads over the last 15 years. My experience has been that there will be a very tiny amount of 'rubbing off' (wear) of the paint in the corners after about 3 years of use. By 'tiny amount', I mean maybe a small spot that is about 1 mm in diameter in each corner.
I just purchased a new W520 (got it about 6 weeks ago) and I have been carring it around in a fairly tight-fitting Targus bag that I keep in the saddlebag of my motorcycle. In the last 6 weeks, I have ridden about 3,000 kilometers around Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece with the ThinkPad in my saddlebag - and there is no evidence of any wear at all on the ThinkPad. The roads are pretty poor in some of these countries, with lots of potholes and bumps...
What I am getting at is this: If you are seeing paint coming off of the top corners of your ThinkPad (this implies the top corners of your screen), then your laptop must be abrading (rubbing) against the inside of the sleeve that you carry it in, and the material on the inside of the sleeve is kind of working like sandpaper against the finish on the outside of the screen.
When we (as users) think about protecting our laptops with sleeves, bags, backpacks, etc., I think we normally think about protecting them from impact and from 'bumps' - but, if the sleeve is even a tiny bit bigger than the laptop itself, or if the laptop is not held securely (unable to move) in the bag or backpack, the corners of the laptop are going to rub against the protective container. Depending on what the material is inside the protective container, the results may be nothing at all (if the material is soft and smooth) or abrasion of the paint (if the material has texture to it, or especially if the material is a woven synthetic fibre).
Because of the rather extreme conditions my laptop experiences (in the motorcycle saddlebag), I have made sure that it is a snug fit into the protective bag, and can't move around inside the protective bag. Hence - no abrasion, no wearing off of the paint.
Hope this information provides you with useful food for thought.

IPhone 5 paint chipping off

I have had my iPhone 5 for a week and a day and the black paint is coming off already! I am 30 years old and take care of my stuff. I have never put it in one of my pockets while there is something else in them. Basicly I have treated this phone like a new born child! I am fuming!

This seems to be a common issue with the iPhone 5. Search the forums here for "iphone 5 chips" or Google the same and you'll come up with a ton of user experiences with the issue.
You can either:
1. Live with the scratches/hide them with a case
2. Return the phone & exchange for another
3. Return the phone for a refund and purchase at a later time (if/when manufacturing issues are resolved)

Black MacBook's paint flaking off?

There are some buzz about the black paint flaking off from the MacBook.
Anybody experiencing this problem with their black MacBook?
Here is the link:
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2397

but with all the problems I've been
reading about, I'm really tempted to wait for a
while... what with flaking of the black macbook,
discoloration on the white, mooing and noise with the
macbook pro and heating issues all around...
Dude! Remember where you are. This is a support site. That means if anything goes wrong, people come here for help. But people who are happy and content with their computers don't come here.
I don't know what percentage of problems the Macbooks are having. They are new, and Apple can't test out what everyone everywhere will do with or to their computer...so when people start doing whatever they do, problems appear that were not anticipated. In addition, this is electronics and with electronics, there is a percentage chance of lemons--that's for any electronics that come out from any company no matter how reputable. So no group of electronics is going to ever be trouble free.
This question is, have there been more problems with the MB than expected given this percentage and given that it's being field tested in mass numbers for the first time? If there are more problems...why and were they taken care of? There was reportedly one bad batch. From what I understand, there are no more of that bad batch so you're good to go on the latest ones--or so I've heard. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
My opinion, the MacBook is a FANTASTIC laptop and you should get one. The keyboard can't be beat, the trackpad is great, the screen is wonderful, the built in camera is fun. It is an AMAZING laptop.
No computer is ever guaranteed problem-free forever--and certainly none are ever going to look pristine forever. Like a new car, you will eventually get that first scratch or dent or flake. Laptops take a lot of wear and tear even if you baby them and keep them wrapped in protective covers. Nature of the beast. They go places and get scratched and bumped. But at least this laptop has a magnetic plug, so you know you won't be likely to jerk it off a table and have it crashing to the floor when you trip over the cord.
And you WILL trip over the cord. I did the first week I had it. The magnetic plut pulled right out and the laptop remained undamaged.
Laptops are more delicate than desktops. Again, nature of the beast. Go to an Apple store, test out a MB. If you want it and like it, get it. Cost-wise, it's a great deal for a laptop. Buy Apple care and you'll have it covered for 3 years pretty much no matter what happens.

Paint worn off on all iPhone 6 & 6 Plus on bottom?

I went to the Apple Store today and got my first opportunity to check out iPhone 6's up close. I happened to noticed that the paint was worn off (chipped?) on all iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models on display right at the area of the lightening connection port. I looked at at least 3 different iPhone 6's and they all had the paint worn off on the bottom. Is this a rampant occurrence that many are experiencing?

Fair enough...definitely seems like reasonable scenario. Thanks for chiming in...I'm really happy to hear it's not a mass issue. I really enjoyed checking out the iPhone 6plus in particular. I will say that all of the reviews of the phones being very slippery weren't as over exaggerated as I expected. They are very slippery phones for sure. The paint chipping easily would really bug me so I'm glad this is likely a case of people not being respectful of the demo models. How hard is it to be mindful of not jamming the phones on their respective display connectors.
Thanks for sharing your insight.

If i ordered a black iphone 5 from verizon...

i recently pre ordered a black iphone 5 from verizon and it should be coming at my door on sept 28th. but after doing some research i've heard the issues with cheeping and peeling of paint and won't want to deal with that. So i was wondering can i take my iphone straight to an apple store and have them switch it out for a white one on the same day?

No.
You could return the iphone to the place from which you purchased, then buy a white one.

Why is my clear case scratching my new black iphone 5?

I bought a clear case from amazon, it seems to have scratched the paint off my new black iphone 5 near the lock button. I bought the case to protect the phone, not scratch it! I was careful with the phone so dirt couldn't get trapped I there so I don't understand why it has scratched? Maybe a soft case would be better?

Return it immediatly.
