Sorry, I have the same problem! I do NOT use any chemical. Just Water and paper towel

mine has not scratched and around the keyboard is a matt finish so finger prints are minimum.

You can open it up and clean it! I have done several. The contacts get dirty and you can wipe them off with a Qtip and alcohol. Go light on the alcohol.

No, unless you take your laptop apart...best stuff for cleaning under the keyboard is to get duster (the compressed air spray cans)

The surface (other than the sides) are matted, so finger prints don't really show up well. Upon inspecting it right now after using it for a few months I can smudges and a bit of dirt but thats really my fault more then the keyboard >.>As to it scratching, I've not noticed anything of the sort and the lighting is pretty awesome.Negatives: Dont get this to write any papers from the get go. It often has issues creating capitol letters, and it takes an unusually long time to break in the keys. Aside from the function of the keyboard, if you buy this particular item then you will need to semi permanently leave your left pinky in the space between the "M" keys and the left shift.

The best thing to do is to get the number off of the screen itself. Vaio's are easy to take apart the screen. Just make sure you look at allthe #'s including the (TL)(**) & rev. if there is one.

I used a damp wipe -- like a baby wipe or Windex cloth or a screen cleaner thing. I was doing a general cleaning of the keyboard. You do need to pay more attention to keeping this keyboard clean than others, as the keys are low-rise, and if the keyboard gets dusty, there is more problem with getting the shift key to work well. Also, if one of the function keys gets stuck (easy to have happen when the keyboard gets dirty), you get weird things happening, like only being able to type a capital C with the caps lock on.

so far, I just shake it. Might vacuum or use sticky roller. I would look on computer for customer help ph. no. of B&H; and ask them.

On the bottom side of the chain cleaner there is a plastic tab/pin that holds the magnet in place. You should be able to pop it off and remove the magnet for cleaning. But be careful not to break the pin - we don't usually recommend doing this - but it is possible. Cheers Filzer Tech Support

Just soak it in mild soap and water, and if there's residue that needs to be removed use a fingernail brush to remove it.

There's a little tab in the upper corner that you pull up on. You slide it up and down several times to clean the wire coils. As for the main blades, they can be lifted out of the unit through the top opening. I usually use a large clean paintbrush to wipe the blades, then spray them off with my air compessor. Although you can also use a can of compressed air marketed for cleaning computer keyboards.

yes, to some degree, but can be wiped off, better to have fingerprints on the cover than all over the computer!

I returned the laptop because there is a button on the side that resets the laptop to "out of the box" state. This will remove all of your programs, data, files, etc. I called Lenovo and asked if there was a way to password protect this button that anybody can press...the answer was 'No'.

There are tabs, do all of the tabs one at a time, put something in between the case and the frame of the laptop, like a folded piece of paper or coin. Once all tabs are lifted there will be nothing holding it on.

It depends if your device is solid state or not. If it is solid state that means there are no moving parts so the magnets wont hurt anything. If your device is not solid state then you should power it completely off every time you store your laptop and move it. And if you do this properly, the magnets shouldnt have any affect on it. Also, the magnets are very small and not really what Id consider any threat to your device.
