I have a decal that is not sticky any more and I would like to glue it back down. What does one recommend for doing this? I am sure there is some special glue or something but I do not want to ruin the thing.

    i wouldn't get glue near a PB, especially a Ti. I don't know if it would hurt anything, except maybe the very soul of the TiBook. Get a new decal?

    First off I wouldn't use glue either but if I had to I'd use one of those "Post-It Note" glue sticks. They turn anything into a post-it so that way at least it could be peeled off and it would do minimal damage if any to the finish.



    Just an idea,

    Its not a Powerbook. This is on a Dell that I got refurbished for $300. My powerbook is just fine. It is a decal that labels the upper quick launch buttons and it is in a fit area for the sticker. I don't really just want to rip it off and I don't think I can get another one. I figured there has to be some way to make it sticky again without damaging the laptop.

    Leave it to a PC maker to put a sticker where they could have easily engraved or printed the label... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

    put the super glue all around the screen, shut the laptop and let it sit overnight. that should take care of any problems you are having.



    hehe, jk

    Hey it was basically free. I bought 3 of them at 350 each and then sold two of em. I sold the two for 1000 each so after the accessories I bought it came out about even or I made a little profit. I'd like to see anyone pass on a 2.2 ghz p4 laptop with a 15" screen for basically free. Lay off.

    totally kidding. i use a pc for several hours a day. they're fine. where did you find it so cheap? sounds like a nice laptop, but you have to expect some guff from a bunch of mac geeks

    No I understand but I really would still like to know what would be good to get that sticker to stick. I found it on Dell's refurbished site actually. I'm not sure why they were giving them away for so cheap but they were and I found em.

    i think the underlying response as how you can get the sticker to stick is "i (we) don't know"

    Yeah I noticed that. I was hoping if this stayed on top someone new would see it and have an answer though. I especially have liked the suggestion to glue the outside of the screen and then go to sleep. Thanks for all the help.
