I've spilled some ink on the top surface of my macbook pro retina.I've tried acetone and fire water but it doesn't come out.What can I do to clean it up?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
These are Apple's instructions. Ink is particularly difficult for it dries quite quickly and can be waterproof. Is it the screen or the metal surface ot the casing? And does this document cover the particular location of the spill. I suspect you will find it hard to remove all the stain.
The ink is from a typical black pen. (I put the macbook in my bag and there was a forgotten pen inside and somehow it spilled on it).
The ink was spilled on the metal surface, 45degrees over the apple, in the middle between the apple and the edge of the surface, 2 stains with 2cm length and a few millimetres width.
Yep. Sounds like the case to me and I doubt you can do much about it. One thought is for you to establish exactly what the affected part is made of then contact the technical department of the ink manufacturer. Because they know the ink composition they may be able to guide you.
It's a bic pen. What is the affected metal part made of?
I think it is Aluminium.
thank you
Wow that sounds like an oil stain on concrete.
I don't think you'll ever be able to get it all out. I'd recommend just buying a protective shell/case/skin to cover it up.
Hi there! i used the Pentel Hi -Polymer Eraser. Hope this helps!
This actually worked thanks a lot! 😉
