Concerning this kind of circular mark, I have successfully removed it using a simple rubber!

quite often the print sticks better to silicon glue than it does to the gold surface.
No matter what you do.. in the end it is lucky of the draw


Yes, It is L41

That type of glue is one of the worst types. Its very hard to remove it without removing the print and I've never been able to remove all trace of the glue. The circular mark always remains.
The white epoxy type glue is much easier to remove with metho and there is good odds of the print remaining intact.

Yep, the white epoxy glue is better.

I've got few SX957,SX958 with heat sink uses such glue, it is much easier to remove the heat sink without damage the label.

I think the label had already stick on the glue. No matter what method you use, the label would not stay on the gold surface

I think the glue had kind of chemical reaction with the ceramic. The glue can be easily removed by a rubber, however the color difference is noticeable.

steel wool will remove the pink mark on the ceramic (use a fine kind)
I also have some glass polish (like toothpaste almost) that works well.

even the rubber could clean some of glue, but the circle is noticeable at all.
I said, the glue could have some chemical reaction with ceramic, therefore there's nothing i can do with it.

If you go to chipdb, you can also see the SX909 has a obvious circle mark on the chip
