Yellowing?
« on: September 14, 2007, 07:53:49 PM »
I am sure this has been asked before.
But I was wondering what is the best way to get rid of yellowing if any way at all?

Depends what caused the yellowing. If it's discolouration due to exposure to sunlight then there's nothing you can do really. But if it's a buildup of dirt then you can wash the plastic to remove the yellowing. Some people put the plastics in a dishwasher, but I would check the temperature of the water before doing this in case the plastic melts.

 In order to remove sunlight yellowing, you need to remove the  motherboard from the case and rub the case with acetone, then polish it with a cotton cloth with some silicon (the same kind who some women use in their breasts, eheh).

 After that avoid the Miggy to take sunbaths again.
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

I have been using those cloth clorox bleach wipes to clean the crap off of used Amigas I have been buying.. The wipes do a fantastic job a little elbow grease and yeah baby!

As far as the sun goes hmmmm I would try that acetone stuff
sounds like a plan!

Just my 2 eurocents but my advice is not to use acetone, specially on the keys, acetone has this nasty habit to eat through plastic...
