Isopropanol works wonders for that kind of crap... and if you find it 100% pure is safe for the electronic components as well. It should not be too difficult to do as Bryce says and go back to pure non coated plastic  :) Even without the logo, it would look nice.

Actually the coating is rubberised TPU as far as I know. Looks and feels great when new, breaks down after a few years. I'm sure the manufacturers think it's great as a "force the user to upgrade" feature.

Bryce.

Sounds like a Microsoft product..

Just to revive this. I donated my broken Penpad to The Back Office Show so he could have a go at reviving it. He cleaned off all the gunk and now the screen calibration is fine. It must have been the plastic gunk interfering with the display.





So if you have a sticky Penpad with the screen calibration not working, that video is well worth a look.
