[strike][/strike]Lenovo Z70-80 bronze duct getting black as shown in the picture. Should that be fixed or is this normal? https://imgur.com/a/ymvazaW

Is that just fine debris from the fan blowing on it?

Whatever it is...I definitely would leave it. I can't see it helping anything to take it off.

So shall I contact Lenovo for my warranty or the fact that I opened my laptop ruins the warranty? Thank you Jay and thanks in advance to anyone answering.

Well....if it's just surface discoloration....which it looks to be...I'm thinking it might be normal.

There are tiny particles in air...as well as oil droplets etc....and over time it builds up and looks like your picture.

I have seen it in electronic equipment a lot near fans.

I would say...if it's not broke....don't fix it. 😉

Now if you told me you smelled burning...or there was evidence of excessive heat....it would be a different story.
