How to take off laptop keys to clean underneath?

Question

I have an Asus laptop (I'm not sure the exact kind, sorry!) and accidentally spilled apple juice on it. The laptop is fine but it's been a little over a week and the keys are now starting to stick when I press on them. The sticky keys are u, i, o, p, and 'enter'. So, how can I take the keys off and clean the laptop without damaging it? Also, how do I get the keys back on? Thank you!

Answer 1

Hi I work at Acer,



1. The best way to start, is take the keyboard out, easily done by taking the 2 or 3 screws out the bottom and picking the keyboard out (depends on model).

2. Then spray with cleaning liquid and use a tooth brush,

3. An last measure would be to then start picking off the keys - be careful tho as these do break the little clips under the key (added a pic taking from Gimages)

note to taking off the keys - some lift off from the top and some from the right side



Hope that helps

Answer 2

Don't. Most laptop keys are more likely to break or break the clips on the keyboard itself than to come off correctly. You are better to get some switch cleaner from a good electronics store. spray lightly under the keys and it will gradually dissolve the mess. You may need to do this more than once to eventually free them off properly.
