peeling laptop
hi folks, i'm new to this dell posting thing, so bear with me. my prob is that the grey "coating" on my Latitude D600 laptop is peeling off. is there anything that i can do to keep the whole thing from peeling off? is it a hazard of any kind? can it be "refinished"? it is not a new computer - think it is about 4 years old - hubby got it for me from ebay for xmas 2 years ago.

Parts for these systems are plentiful - replace whatever is damaged. parts-people.com is one good source.

Welcome to the forums :emotion-5:
It's certainly not a hazard, so don't worry about that.
Where on the laptop is it peeling, and how bad is it?
If the peeling hasn't peeled off completely yet, you might get away with using a little lacquer (as used to protect car and PC case paint etc)?
But another option available to you is a laptop 'skin' - which you use to completely recover the laptop, with a pattern of your choosing.
Just Google (i.e.) 'Laptop Skins', and you'll find any number of sites selling them.
Here's three of 'em, just to give you an idea of what a 'skin' is: Laptop Skins, Lapjacks, and Unique Skins
Unique Skins offer skins for a number of different makes/model of laptop - i.e. HP, Toshiba, Sony, and even Apple! That page I've linked to above, is their Dell laptops skins range, specifically :emotion-1:
