Scratched!

[bodeiseifer]

the outside lid of my 3 month old vaio has suffered a scratch:smileycry:
does anyone know of a scratch remover that might work:smileyconfused:

From numerous posts on this forum it would seem that the surface finish on Vaio laptops is pathetically thin.

I would suggest that the use of any abrasive scratch removing creams would probably make the situation worse.

I agree with William, it could be disasterous

i agree as well, u will just make it worst. imagine if they made it xchangable like phone cover then it would be much better. They have done this one cars why not on laptops.

[William]

Exchangeable covers sounds a great idea.I think Sony would love the "personalised" aspect for their Vaio's

A whole new market for Sony but no doubt at Sony prices..

The majority of us would have to make do with inferior copies.

You might try this:

Use some tooth paste on a soft cotton and rub it gently on the scratch. Don't use any "mega white" cosmetic paste as it would be to abrasive, just a standard one would do the job perhaps.
If you are unsure, you should try it first on a hidden corner, to test the results.

This method is originally intended for scratched CDs, but it should work also on other plastics.

thanks for all the input guys.
i did try some car scratch remover before posting and it didnt do anything, just took a small amount of the grey coating off and left a glassy smooth finish.
i guess i shall investigate getting a replacement case fitted though i dont expect it to be cheap.
incidentally the scratch occured from me placing a heavy(ish) book on the case and there must have been a small piece of grit or sand on the underside of the book and as it slid off the case scratched my vaio.

I know how you feel a dog chewed/scratched the corner of the lid of my previous laptop.

It was "safely" stashed under the sofa and the little s*d was trying to retrieve a lost toy.

Personalised covers? Now THAT would ROCK......
Imagine I could get someone to spray Kee-Lo on mine then let it dry, then put it on the laptop......

Did the same with my A217S..! I've got a nice 3 inch scratch across the silver top now. Oh, and yellowing around the touchpad...even though I hardly use it!

I'm going to give it another couple of months before calling Sony as by then my laptop will be less mobile and remain on the desktop.

I would be very much interested in hearing how you get on with Sony.

The case mouldings on the A series is pathetically prone to cosmetic damage and Sony should have protected these machines with something more resistant.
