Found a great deal on an N64 at a thrift, but it's got some sort of white marker on it that isn't cleaning off. Rubbing alcohol took off a lot, but it's still there. What's a good, non-abrasive, way to clean it off? Haven't had to think about cleaning console hardware in a long time.

I think for people to answer that you would need to find out what that white stuff is

"White marker", already said what it was.
*EDIT*
Found something that worked most of the way, a little rubbing alcohol dabbed on and then using a non-abrasive white pencil eraser got about 90% off.

Erasers worked well for me too in the recent past, wether it was for removing markers or glue residue. Would have been my 1st suggestion

I'm honestly surprised I haven't heard about this sooner, especially when I was doing more classic console collecting a few years back lol I do have some very slight...smudging I guess I would call it, it's not from where I scraped the marker off specifically, but like more around the area I was wiping off what I cleaned with the rubbing alcohol, but I'm gonna try to get the shell taken off and scrub the whole thing extra good anyways and that should clean that up fine. I just need to find the security bit for taking the N64 apart, I haven't had to use it in years lol
