the laptop is a DVT3 - 2000.   

 

it appears the paint is flaking, it's not something that's sitting on the surface.  the spot is circular, just below the touchpad light.  thanks!

Its  HP Pavilion dv3t-2000 CTO Notebook right ? The Service manual can be found here and in order to have your issue sorted out , you need to replace Top Cover (5) of the Notebook which is shown in picture below.
