Hi my my 1st generation Macbook white(non uni) has this yellowish discoloration, is there any way/solution to atleast make it a bit white,hehehe. Likewise,the are some stains from the previous owner around the keypad area. What to use to clean this kind of mark or say a stain?

thank you very much.

If it's a 1st gen, it's 4 years old. It's practically a dinosaur...

I think people have had success with the magic eraser.

If it's the keyboard, take your mackbook to the Apple store and have the keyboard replaced for free, under a manufacturing defect.
