A new computer, or rather, an old computer that looks new.

Okay, basically, this is my mum laptop, which she got it from TBL. Anyway, the outlook condition wasn't that great after years of usage, and thus, i decided to touch up for it. The following is what happen to an old computer after spending less that $10 on it:


original outlook:



You can see that black left over of previous stickers are there. They can be remove by using 70% alcohol or naptha.
Some scratches are present, and thus, to give a better outlook, a piece of laptop stickers are being pasted over it.





The battery cover is mising. In order to replace that, a similar colour cover must be added to it. The cover should not fall off easily.





The silver colour area is being decolourised. To conuter that problem, I added some stickers to fully cover the whole area.





The speaker's paint is being peeled off slightly. One can choose to paint it back, but it is never a wise choice as painting such a small area is very skill demanding an the effect doesn't pay well. Thus, I suggest removing the paint completely and polish the metal to give a brilliant outlook.




The metallic clamp is highly oxidised and rusty. As such, i polished it with Brasso to give a shinny outlook.

And this is the end product after some work:




Now offering my service to touch up for all electronic gadgets.
