hey, the other day i spilled a cup of tea on my laptop keyboard. is dry now, i took most of the keys off and dried them, but now theyre stickin like hell, what would be the best way to clean it? I know it'll probably take a while. Or is there somewhere I can take i or send it to get it cleaned? Does Dell do anyhing like that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i would just pop each key off and go through, one at a time, using rubbing alcohol on a cotton swap to clean them out and get the tea of the base underneath.
Originally posted by Wiki:It is also a very good cleaning agent and often used for cleaning electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape deck and floppy disk drive heads, the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives (e.g. CD, DVD) and removing thermal paste from CPUs. It is also used to clean glass computer monitor screens, and used by many music shops to give second-hand or worn records newer looking sheens. It cleans dry-erase boards very well and other unwanted ink related marks.
Ive heard somewhere that you can soak it in distilled water and dry it with a hairdryer. Im trying to avoid buying a new one. Also trying to not go through each key with a q-tip. Can i jst pour the alcohol on it with the keys off and let it dry. Ill take it off the laptop first of course. Sorry this is the first time ive had this problem When I mess up I mess up good.
