Hey everybody. so after reading around and watching some you tube vids I got worried about the possible static re boot the 3gx can do because of the crome case.
Soooo I started to go about melting the crome off seemed easy enough in the videos so I started with spray and wipe with no luck, then move to foaming bbq cleaner which by the way sure makes things clean but didn't budge the crome at all, then I tried aceatone and even brake fluid still nothing.
Right time for some grunty stuff.... a walk over to the cow shed and I'm pooring cholinated alkilines and acids on it still nothing!!
after all this of course I was determined to get it off so I resorted to the thing I saw work on other cromed items, flame!! got the crome off alright but it holds heat well and has damaged the plastic and become brittle so I'm hoping for some reason someone has a dead 3gx of which I can buy the case from? after this attempt I recommend just leaving the thing alone or a media blaster like the first video I watched but don't have one so couldn't try.
