Bebook - Remove Sticky Residue on Screen

[Russian]

Hello,

I just bought an eReader named Bebook, its not an old device or anything, but there was no topic where I could post this, so I just try to do it here.

The problem is that the device had a Transparent Sticky Plastic on the Screen with instructions, when I removed it (was kind off difficult), it left some Sticky Residue, and I don't know how to remove it. Can anyone help me out please?

Link the to the eReader http://mybebook.com/

Thanks in advance,
Russian

The safest is probably some citrus sticker remover. You can find that in most Dollar Stores, supermarkets, and hardware stores. Failing to find that, try carefully using an alcohol prep pad that you can find in drug stores. Just don't pour any liquids directly onto the screen and don't use any harsh solvents like kerosene, acetone, or naphtha.

I didn't know the BeBook aka Hanlin V3 is a Legacy Device

Stitchawl, thanks for your reply, unfortunately I am living in the Netherlands, so citrus sticker remover is not a solution. But Alcohol maybe is, but what kind of alcohol should I use then?

I did not know it was a Chinese Counterpart to the Sony Reader named Hanlin V3.

There are little foil packets sold for First Aid Kits with pre-moistened towelettes inside. You shouldn't have any difficulty finding these in any larger drug store. No need to purchase an entire bottle of Rubbing Alchohol unless you can find the tiny bottles made for travel. However, I've purchased citrus sticker remover in several different countries. It's pretty common stuff but unless you ask for it you probably wouldn't notice it on the shelves with other cleaning products. It's much safer to use on delicate objects.

Wohoo, I just removed the sticky remains without a problem.

I used warm water on a fiber cloth, and rubbed gently on the screen.

Thanks for your help and advice!

I have one more question, it seems that the screen suffers from Ghosting, is that normal?

I know the problem has already been solved, but I thought I would add my two cents about removing adhesive residue. First, any of the orange oil products will do a fine job. The thing to watch out for is that some plastics (styrene in particular) will react badly to these orange oil based products. Another option that is safer on plastic and almost as good it WD-40, which is mostly mineral oil.

Thanks for the info =)
