The "silver checkerboard" looks to me like
the remains of a "removal
voids warranty" sticker.
The silver checkerboard is also left after removal of some "Property of the
University of...." or other Corporate Assett Tags. Not all of them of
course, but I have seen some that leave that distinctive pattern when
removed.
Matter of fact, two days ago I took one off an RL02 drive and saw that
silver checkerboard. Five minutes of soaking with GoGone and 30 seconds with
a razorblade and it was gone :)
