Can I do something to clean it? Is it a manufacturing defect? Alan Hkuk 06-06-2006, 03:46 AM The same happened to my Series 3. Mine had a matt, velvety finish. I think it must be a surface coating or treatment that causes the problem because friens with Psion 3 series PDAs with a different finish don't have the problem. I tried lots of cleaners without success. In the end, I sprinkled it with talcum powder to take away the stickiness and then scraped off the soft plastic (repeatedly) until it stopped going sticky. zdx22 06-06-2006, 04:01 AM Thank you for your answer! I have had a lot of Psion - no problem with a case. This one comes from a friend, and I realize it is hopeless to clean it... I have to repair it (recase) at Posltd... I will use it as a backup when mine (3mx) is in repair for the broken icon strip, each 2 years generally... And I'm still looking for a new hardware solution to replace it, I need something like the "data" application to manage tons of data I have typed on this Psion 3... I have not seen anything like that with the Palm machines or others... there is some free/sharewares on internet for that, but I feel it is not safe or perennial... Thank you for your thoughts about that! Patrice Delapalme. tws1 06-01-2010, 09:31 AM I used scouring powder mixed with washing up liquid on a damp cloth. Rub well, remove with damp cloth. Repeat till non sticky. Result in smooth outside surface. Don't make cloth too wet to avoid mixture creeping into the Psion. KvdS 06-04-2010, 03:55 PM Is it a manufacturing defect? Yes it is, it's THE 3c problem. Yes you can clean it, how? I don't know. I bought a cleaned 3C and now it's a fine Psion. snigfarp 08-23-2010, 02:27 AM Does this problem also affect the Siena? My Siena currently has that "matt, velvety finish" Alan describes. revoguy 10-14-2010, 10:50 AM does this happen on 3 classic? i have one but it seems ok at the moment snigfarp 10-14-2010, 10:53 AM No, the 3 classic and the 3a use a different finish, with no sticky problems at all. revoguy 10-14-2010, 12:46 PM thanks because the last thing i want to do is replace my case every now and again... KvdS 10-23-2010, 04:39 PM And the 3MX own also a fine case PDA Street
