Sticky Keyboard

Nov 18 2006 02:37 am   #1GoldenBuffy

The baby spilled Pepsi onto my laptop keyboard three days ago, and ever since I've been trying to clean it with alcohol, but they are still sticky. Is there any way I can clean them off? Without removing the keys. Cause I borke one already.

There is some stuff in the electronics department at Wal-mart, it kind of looks like a can of WD-40 it is specially made for cleaning this sort of thing, you can find it by the mouse pads and keyboards

Fear not.  Put your keyboard in the dishwasher.  Do not use it until it's completely dry.  What have you got to lose, it's already busted.

While hubby is at the computer store have him get you a Logitech wireless.  It has a split keyboard and you can type really fast.

Huh...we've noticed that typing fast on a wireless keyboard tends to have a delay...the pattern buffer just can't keep up.

Your best bet would be to go pick up a key removal tool so you can clean them with alcohol, or just pick up a new one. I know they make completely sealed keyboards, so spills are not a problem.
