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.
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.
Hmm I would stick to the method of going through each one with a cotton bud. Maybe tedious, but will work. It is up to you though.
if you're not willing to put the effort into saving your keyboard, you might as well get a new one. it's either cash or work, no easy way out. ^.^
