Repairing My Laptop by GatJokez(f): 5:15pm On Sep 21, 2013 |
So, I'm here to vent and seek advice. I have a two year old Gateway laptop. About a month ago, my ten year old spilled a lil bit of soda on the keys. I tried wiping the keys and drying, but typing is close to impossible because all sorts of goofiness appears on the screen when I try to type. I finally decided to try and take it apart so I can clean the keys from the inside. Any advice on best way to do it? What should I watch out for? Thanks in advance . |

GatJokez: If you can replace the keyboard yourself, buy a replacement and tackle it(possibly loads of unscrewing involved) The present keypad membrane has suffered from moisture contamination. Hopefully, this your month long wait would have not corroded other parts. NB: Just checked date of publication (2013). Advice might be helpful to others!!! |

Lexusgs430: Thanks for sharing good explanation and advice. Better late than neva . Just to add - I did exactly as you advised back then. Keyboard works like new. Thought it would be good to know for those who might encounter similar challenge. |
