Depends on what the stain is. Tried warm water yet?
the brown stuff could be organo-metal, upon react with chloride from the sweat. try wipe it with ethanol.
I have the exact same issue.
What is Ethanol anyway? Where can I get it?
Thanks Hazzary,
Yes, it was from my sweaty palms that generates the stain. I will try ethanol and will let you guys know the result.
Thanks

Well, you can use a matching silver paint with a fine brush. Silver paints are found in artists shops!
use spay paint and mask off the area with masking tape.

Put your XDA on a scanner, import the scan into a paint program and then get the RGB or CMYK of the colour by usine the colour dropper. Any paint shops should be able to match it.

Not too much info, but there you go. If you do take yours apart, take lots of pictures - you'll be an instant hero
Most paints will wear off very quickly and maybe make it look a bit unsightly, do you have a particular paint in mind?
And yes - please take many pics and post back with details of the procedure.
Not necessarily...
If you use a lacquer based paint - it will "etch" itself into the plastic. IF you use enamel - yes, it will wear off quickly and most likely be "unsightly".
Make sure you steel wool it first to rough it up and sand between coats. When you are satisfied with the look - sand once again with very fine paper - like 600 grit or finer - then - spray with a couple of coats of clear. It will look great!
I use to run a guitar shop - building repairing and refinishing. This will take some time - but it will look great.
Shep
Sounds good.
Will be interested to see the results when fp has finished it.
Interested too
NO NO NO NO
I took my JAM apart to paint it, and it was never the same again. I HIGHLY recommend against this, you'll regret it.
Echilon, sorry to hear that mate...
i fink the standard silver face looks decent...(MDA)
Thing is... how did you take it apart? I mean without injuring the plastics.

It didn't fit back together properly and the battery cover used to hang half off. Aswell as that, the paint chipped eventually, but thankfully it got lost in the post and I got my money back from the post office

Hmm interesting, I am jsut researching paints, does seem a laquer is the way to go. Guys who have taken it apart, your saying "its never the same again" Why, is there glue? Any experiance most welcome, I've built a mac tibook from 9 different donors and I am pretty good with my torx set, the only thing i hate is glue....

did you do anything special or cram something to hold the plastic back in place?
I'm just getting ready to tear it apart just to fix this issue and any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Mc
I've repaired about 80 remote controls, and I highly suspect that most of the "never the same again" is related to wrangled plastic when trying to undo the 'click' system. If you have a ( Edit: http://www.noordhollandinbouw.nl/images/bankschroef.jpg ) and a very thin screw driver, these are pretty easy to open up without any wrangling/cracking. The other issue is paint getting inbetween seams - the device has to fit back together, so you need to keep the paint clear of those %)
Other than that, I really see no reason why it wouldn't be perfectly fitting back together with the only difference being the paintjob.
Maybe one of the two guys who mentioned this can give exact details?
Hi guys,
Actually when I said (it will never the same again) I did not mean it is impossible mission, but it need a high caution and steady hand (No glued parts) ,don’t try to open it hardly (it might break) with all that a scratch here or there will happened ,but still if any of you opened it safely and get it painted then everything will be fine.
About the stylus, yes I put 2 pieces of plastic between the cover and the stylus black encasement.
Thanks
Balo, can you explain how you unclipped the plastic cover. Is there a specific side to start on? How did you lever the part apart - finger nails or small screw driver? As much detail please as I want fix my stylus.
Was it hard to take of the faceplate? I need a new faceplate put on my 8125. Can you advise? Thanks!
so no pictures yet of the paintjob?
Ok,
The solution is simply to apply a thin layer of nail polish on the problematic areas.
This is unseen and solves the problem.
This works fine!
Nadavi.
are u suggesting a grey nail varnish ? or a clear one before the paint starts peeling?
Yes
yes, Before it starts peeling.
Nadavi
may be it will stop peeling of painting.. I am not saying it will not, but will definitely invalidate device warranty.
i don't see how it can damage the warranty.
NAdavi
don't think the invalidated warranty will be a major issue in the UK, since it appears that it's not worth the paper it is written on
applying any permanet layer of chemical substance can lead to refusal to repair device under manufacturer's waranty.
Your milage may vary...
you can't even see it...it's a one millimeter transparent nail polish...its external and if you really want to you can peel it with your nail (its not easy but it can be done).
this is not an irreversible process.

How about peel it all off so it's nice and shiney?
Any suggestions on how to do this safely? Mine is peeling a little bit...but I think it's getting worse day by day.
Sugar cube?
Well...i'm a total n00b at this. I love the P3600 but noticed the peeling and joined on the forum to get some ideas. Has anyone done this already with photos to see what it looks like? The thought of sending it in for a few weeks seems totally crazy. Plus, I bought it from some small phone store that doesn't seem totally up on repairs and the like. Prefer to take care of it myself.
you can use sugar cube to scratch the painting off. it will not damage the underlying layer of paint. Old trick, but works well.
anyone have any pictures of after the sugar cube trick or with the nail polish on?

Hi All,
Sorry if this is already on the forum but I cant seem to find a method that works right.. I stuck my phone in my girlfriends handbag whilst on holiday and on the beach, sand got into her bag and scratched the hell out of it, including the touch-screen. I have bought Displex but even that does not work well on the outside rim let alone the touch screen.
Is there any possilble way to remove these scratches??
Anyone got any suggestions..
Thank you

Lol very good, I could go down that route, unfortunatley no I did not have the protector on ... If I did apply the screen protector.. would it fade out the scratches if not the major ones, perhaps the minor ones.
Ill try that

Thanks for the Message, might sound silly to you but how much are we roughly talking for a screen and perhaps the casing as the front has a number of scratches too.
I have not had time to whizz through this website as mostly I check it through work so apologies if there is a thread on this already.

It can help after wards sometimes I had TYTN2 before with a similar problem I applied the protector after it was scratched and I was pretty happy with the results I could only see scratches when I really looked for them in light so its worth a shot before replacing anything cheaper too
Still think my first idea is better
Fact of life these things get damaged sooner or later. I would just accept the fact that it's damaged as long as it works. You will probably move onto the next device in a few months!
I was wondering if anyone tried to clean their earpiece-cum-speaker grill. What did you use to clean it? Mine has some fine dust particles in it and I was looking to get some tips from fellow members.
