755C Remove cigarette smell.

#1 Post by Thinkpad4by3 » Thu Mar 09, 2017 9:46 pm

I just scored a 50$ 755C in almost mint condition(few almost invisible scratches, broken hinge latches, etc.) on craigslist that was refurbished by IBM at some point. I pretty sure that is has a factory image of Windows 95 if anyone wants that. The unfortunate part is that is smells of cigarette smoke. It isn't terrible but it`s noticeable. Does anyone know what can get rid of the smell. I already plan to get some vinegar and baking soda. I know that after time the smell will dissipate so I am leaving in my garage. I've heard of using amazing orange as well. Any other ideas? I am willing to tear down the machine if necessary.

PS: The keyboard is the greatest thing since buckling spring :D
The only acceptable use for a MacBook is to shop for a Thinkpad.

Funny how the OP has a 755 CD. Good luck.
