bought a new T43, and used for more than a month.
Found out that there is dirt/oily reflection in certain keyboard key.

i have tried to wipe it using a wet clothe, yet to no avail.

may i know how can wipe off those oily reflection or dirt to get my lappy as new as possible.

I have used Fantastik on a rag and it got rid of all this.

It seems like the "flat" finish on the keys gets worn off with constant contact. On mine the home position F and J and the right side of the space bar are more glossy than the rest, you could call this "character". Like a vintage guitar.

I use 50/50 water and isopropyl alchohol for the LCD. A little windex for the rest.
