Scratches/corosion-sony Vgn-cr35g/t

Hi All,

I am a new member to this FORUM............

I have bought a SONY LAPTOP MODEL (SONY VGN-CR35G/T) on 29th May'2008.

Now its reaching 1 year 3 months. Performance wise this model I am satisfied. But unfortunately its started show corrosion/removal of the original painting at the bottom of the LCD PANEL (i.e just below the “SONY LOGO”) and near the touch pad and also the removal of original silver coating on the front body (i.e near the “CR LOGO”-the portion is marked in red box for your reference). Snapshot is attached SONY VGN CR35G Ta.pdf for all of your reference.

This really making me afraid as this is a costly laptop and I am also afraid that if the scartches/corosion started to spread all of the silver body what could the solution?.

Also note that the more corosion/scratches is started to show in a place where the fingures are not touched regualry (i.e just below the lcd panel).

IS ANYBODY EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE?. IF SO KINDLY SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ME AND HOW SOLVED IT?.

EXPECTING ALL OF YOUR VALUABLE GUIDANCE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.

Thanks and Regards,

Jesim

 

Is anybody have any opinion on the issue?.

Expecting some comments on the issue.

 

Is It Possible To Get A Replacement Under Warranty.. Or Sony Can Hepl Me To Sort Out The Problem.

If So Anybody Can Help Me To Get The Sony Contact Details.

I Am Desperately Looking For Some Help...

 

Have u got insurance when u bought the unit ??
If not the less expensive method would be painting the area where the corrosion is using a fine brush.

Here is SONY phones if in the USA>>

I think this constitutes normal wear and tear, and as it is only cosmetic i not covered by warranty.

The palmrest area - I'd say a watch maybe? Or a shirtsleeve?

The "dots" that you call corrosion - I'd say someting got stuck, like sand or so and scratched it.

 

The pix is to close and hard to see how serious the problem is.
I wonder how it got oxidized(corrosion)?

 

The reason for how it is got oxidized is really unknown. thank you very much for all your comments

 

That, my friend, is just normal wear and tear. The area right at the bottom of the palm rest looks like it is just chrome plated. There are natural acids in the oils and sweat that come off of your hands and wrists. That probably just wore away the chrome plating. It also looks as though a watch or bracelet could have assisted in the wearing away of that area. As for the little spots and such, those are caused by small dirt particles that may have gotten caught inbetween the LCD and the base. If you want to prevent further damage, I recommend getting some sort of cloth to place over the keyboard and touchpad area when the computer is closed. I personally use a small sheet of leather, but I also have a different computer. You just have to find something that works.

 

I use these:

Not only do they protect the screen, but they prevent some of the very same damage you are showing around the bezel, etc.

 

Does ig come with a cleaning solution as well ??
It seems to be good stuff >

 

They do sell a separate cleaning cloth and solution too.
