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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Apple logo coming off in 2Gen Shuffle

    I have noticed the Apple logo on the back of my 2nd Gen. Shuffle is slowly coming off. The paint is a lil smudged.
    I take very good care of it, so I dont understand why this happened. In any case, I thought Apple etched the logos in the back of iPods with laser, but I guess this is not the case with the Shuffle or even Nanos, since they are the cheapest of the iPod line-up.
    I left some feedback about it on Apple's website, and if you have experienced the same issue, you should too. Heres the link to the feedback form:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodshuffle.html
    Its sad that Apple chose to get cheap on the Shuffle because its still an iPod and we expect the best products fromt Apple, no matter what the price range is.

    It's not worth the effort. Especially since UNDER the logo is an area of aluminun that isn't anodized like the rest of the shufle, sort of like inverse engraving.

    Yeah, Apple could have stamped the logo on, but perhaps they have some group purchase plan where a
    different logo can be silk screened on the clip...?

  • Turning off the touchpad on my Probook 640

    Hi,
    I'm running a recent windows OS and I can't disable the touchpad.....the thing is unusable while it's on...it's far too sensitive.
    I've seen the info about the light on the touchpad...that hasn't worked.
    When I click into "Mouse" I don't get an option to "disable" the PS/2 ...I can "uninstall"  via the device manager which works but keeps turning itself back on!
    It's driving me insane...please help!

    Hi,
    Your machine has On/Off button as shown:
    Please use your finger touch (or quick double touch) to the area (#3 above) to turn On or Off the touchpad.
    Regards.

  • I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I've had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don't have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow

    I dropped my iPod touch 4 generation on my kitchen tile and it shattered, like chunks of the screen are coming off. But everything works and I’ve had it for a 1 ½ years now. I don’t have the extended warranty or anything but can I get it replaced somehow? if anyone knows anything please let me know. thank you!

    Depending on the extent of the damage, Apple may replace the iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to repair the iPod for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.
    Regards.

  • Can't turn off the touchpad using the double-touch gesture

    I just bought HP 1000-1b09AU Notebook PC. And I think the touchpad on/off (button?) is not working. I know how to turn on/off the touchpad, it is by doing double tap/touch on the turn on/off area of the touchpad.
    I don't know why it's not working, since I've already installed the driver of the (Synaptics) touchpad. How do I resolve this? Help me, please.

    @Bill468 
    It is not an issue of whether double-tap is the method to toggle it on or off, but rather whether that guesture or method has been disabled, preventing it from functioning, which is why I was asking you to be sure the various gestures were not disabled.
    At this point, if you have already verified that the relevant gestures are enabled, then it may be best to call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
