Ask HN: Cleaning laptop keyboard
The other day I spilled some apple juice on my company laptop. Some of the keys are sticking. What are the best ways to clean the heyboard on a laptop safely?
- LarryMade 15y agoKeyboards are pretty flimsy nowadays (literally - with flexible circuit sheets, etc.), and depending on the type might take a bit of work to tear down to clean the parts, and my be a toss up on usability. That said, Google is your friend, search for "keyboard cleaning" with the model of your laptop you will probably get a hit or three on some tips for disassembly and cleaning, etc. Before you do that, have you checked to see if there's a good price on a replacement keyboard? - I've found some on Amazon as low as $15 for Dell laptops and such, eBay is good too but you need to look at the seller's track record and such to make sure things are jake.
