Computer Upgrades & Repairs : How to Clean Up Keyboard Spills

[colin72]

The first step to cleaning a keyboard spill is to prevent it?

I'll submit to the jury that this is physically impossible due to the constraints of time and space.

ive go the microsoft sidewinder x6 and love it, but i couple of the keys kept "sticking" or not typing, i was cautious to take the keys off as i was thinking they may have the tiny metal clips holding each key in place, but i was wrong, and now it works like new again.

thanks

ounce i spilled a beer on my keyboard and i just used it normally. it was soaked. worked great.

Why spend a bunch of money on toxic cleaning stuff that one now has to store when you can buy a new keyboard for half the price? If it's just dust you need to get out then take the keyboard to a gas station and carefully blast it with air from the tire filling machine for free, it is way quicker and does a better job (as canned air is fairly weak) and uses no nasty chemicals. This works great for me!

[jdbaron25]

Awesome idea to take it to a gas station!!! I'm going to do that today :)

Thanks for the vid. Ive had this happen with 2 keyboards in a year, Im clumsy. I unplugged, turned upside down for a day, and cleaned but 25% of keys(top of board) still do not work. Ive even totally taken them apart to clean. Does anyone know how to fix? Both are Compaq, one new and one 5yrs old. TY for any help.
