Stupid Question

[Luchini]

The other night I spilled some Oranje Juice on my keyboard and now some keys are sticky...I am trying to clean it but I really can't pull the keys out..I tried to clean underneath with water but that does not seem to work...any suggestions?

Run the keyboard under water to rinse it out completely, then allow it to dry COMPLETELY before plugging it into your computer again. Some people run their keyboards through dishwashers in the top rack with a cool water cycle and air dry for similar results.

Use rubbing alcohol to clean it with. It took the coke of off my keyboard when it got spilled on it.

Don't be shy with the water, you need to THOROUGHLY rinse it under tap water. I usually let it dry for a week before I plug it in.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but how about just replacing it? A funky keyboard is a real distraction.

WHy not try opening it up and cleaning each key? Putting it under a tap to wash the muck off doesnt sound too good.

i've know people who actually wash their keyboards in a bathtub and then let them air dry...sometimes you don't even recognize your keyboard aftewards..it's like new!

Rinsing the K/B is a good idea, BUT ONLY IF it DOES NOT have any "internet hot keys" on it. Water would ruin those.
