Clean Under Laptop Keyboard Keys
If your keys ever get stuck when you're typing, the underside of your keyboard's keys may be in need of a simple cleaning.
Steps
Wiping
- Pop off the sticky keys with a screwdriver.
- Apply an all-surface cleaner to the rag and wipe the keyboard with it.
- Put all of the keys back on after it dries.
Putty
- Buy special cleaning putty. This is usually available cheaply online and in-store.
- Place putty on the keyboard.
- The putty will form its shape over the keys and seep through the cracks.
- Pull the putty carefully off the keyboard, so as to not break off the keys. Wash off any dirt and crumbs.
- Repeat all over the keyboard for a thorough clean.
Warnings
- Don't apply the wiping cleaner directly to the keyboard.
- Do not let the keys fly off the keyboard.
- Make sure your keyboard is unplugged before cleaning.
