Peeling paint

[Mark Gardiner <100550.3170@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This has always happened. Mine started after a prolonged spell of playing Sim City 
whilst ill in bed one winter... It must have been my feverish / humid hands on the 
unit for so long.

Sadly, there is no prevention/cure ...

IBM use same 'peach skin' paint on Thinkpads, but it doesn't peel.

RE:	Peeling paint

 
Hi,

we all know that the paint on Sharp PC3K tends to peel away.  While
away on a vacation in Portugal, I noticed that dampness on the
computer's outside will make the paint develop little blisters(*).
These _nearly_ go away once the computer is dry again, but the paint
seems to stay disconnected from the computer in those areas --- so
that sooner or later I'm sure the paint will start to peel there.

I thought I would let you know

Sven

(*) That was in Sintra, on a rainy day inside unheated and as a result
    rather clammy rooms.  The computer wasn't really wet, but it's
    pouch might have been a tad damp, and we as good as had 100%
    relative humidity.  The next day the computer failed (some keys
    wouldn't work, and the next time I tried nothing at all happened),
    but luckily could be revitalised after a day or two in the dry.
