Title
How to Remove case stickers from your PC
Introduction
If you have a laptop or desktop you want to remove the case stickers from, this guide will show you how to do it as cleanly as possible.
'''IMPORTANT: If your system is new, it is best if you do this while the system is new and has no age-related color differences. There may be a contrast on light colored systems where the stickers were since it was new, since these areas were never exposed. This is cosmetic and does not affect cleanup, but may bother some people.'''
On many PC laptops and desktops, the OEM puts case stickers on. These are prone to wear over time and are only used for advertisement purposes. A sticker free laptop is going to look cleaner and more professional.
Guide notes:
* In most cases, the Intel/AMD stickers leave residue behind and is normal, even with heat. This is nearly impossible to avoid, but using heat will soften this glue. '''This is less of a problem with Windows XP/Vista/7 stickers, but may still come up.'''
* Be careful how much heat you use. Many systems use plastic which can be melted. If this happens you will need to replace the melted part. '''To avoid damaging the plastics, only apply enough heat to make removal easy. The glue can be cleaned up later.'''
* If you are doing this on a laptop with a removable battery, it should be removed regardless of functionality. These batteries can explode if they get too hot. '''The procedure on every laptop varies, so it is not covered.'''
* This procedure is not specific to the Intel/AMD/Windows stickers. It can also be used to remove other stickers. '''These can be more difficult depending on the manufactuerr and age of the sticker, but it can still be done.''
* '''''DO NOT USE Goof Off under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. This will ruin most (if not all plastics). Goof Off is a safer alternative.'''''
** '''If you are in doubt on if solvents are a good idea on your system, use tape to remove the remaining glue (although it will be more difficult).'''
