Monitor logo & 4000 mem
12 messages in this thread
I just got my Sony 1302 monitor. Have a very silly question. How do you
get the little logo on the upper left side of the screen off with out
damaging the glass screen?!
Second question, not so silly. When I first boot up I get only 1 meg of
chip ram. When I immediately do a 3 finger salute I get the full 2 meg.
Any thoughts?

Gracia,
To get those d*&%ed stickers off of glass (and plastic and about anything
else) I use 100% pure lemon oil. It comes off easily and desolves the
adhesive making cleanup a breeze. Do NOT use the lemon oil furniture
polish products — they contain petroleum distilates — you need the real
(100% pure) stuff. My suppy is 10-15 years old and came from a musical
instrument store.

Steve,
THANK YOU!! I can't believe they put them on the *tube* and then give one
not a clue for removal. I bet you oil is ransid by now <G>.
Gracia,
Nope — 100% pure lemon oil doesn't go bad — and works like a charm. The
Sony sticker is easy to remove. The real test is on the junk the
automakers use to put their stickers on — the lemon oil takes it off with
ease. Warning, tho, don't use it (or test before using) on soft plastics.
Gracia,
All the Sony 'logo' stickers I've seen simply peel off. They don't
leave a residue that requires anything more than a damp cloth to remove.
Usually it only takes a fingernail or knife point to get under them to
start them peeling and then they come off quite easily. Glass is
significantly harder than steel, so you don't have to worry about damaging
the glass as long as you're not chipping away at the sticker <grin>.

I think ordinary vegetable oil works, too. I've used it in a lot of
situations with sticky stickers. I don't know if it works any better or
worse than lemon oil, but hey, I don't have any bottles of lemon oil. What
I've heard works really, really well, is tarantula oil, but that's really,
really hard to find, even harder to find than 100% percent pure lemon oil.

Another cleaner that works REAL well at removing the glue left behind by
stickers is Hoppes #9 gun cleaner. I've used it MANY times to clean up
places where I've removed stickers (old & new) that left their glue
behind.

WD-40 is supposed to work well at taking off stickers, and you don't have
to squeeze and bugs to get it!
You can easily get those stickers off with residue-less electronic cleaner
that Radio Shack sells. The stuff comes out so cold, tho, I'm not sure
whether it disolves or freezes the adhesive off. Use it sparingly, as to
much cold at once can't be good for a picture tube, and I understand the
stuff is composed of freon (bad for the ozone layer).

And standing in line at the local hardware store, in the impulse-purchase
rack, I saw a bottle of "Goo Gone", a petroleum distillate-based goo
remover…
Goo Gone is a great product (much like Simple Green)… it's made by Magic
American Corporation, Cleveland, OH <g>
Gee, with all the great replies I got I'll have to go out & find new
stickers! <G>
Thanks to all of you.
