So, beer got on my MacBook Pro, and now the button sticks when I press it. The stickiness goes away when the laptop heats up, however--probably because the beer gets more syrupy and less tacky with the heat. However, I still want to clean under the button. How do I get under the laptop mouse button to clean it without damaging my computer?

In cases like these, we usually have to strip the PC back, and clean by gentle cloth, until all the junk is gone, thats pre-supposing that the Beer has not ruined the machine

well you have to take off the keyboard and then go from there try using some sort of cleaning agent or you can just pop off every button and get a rag and clean it from there but if your lazy you can always buy a new keyboard off ebay

Remove battery and use very light water, you may also want to visit apple's site to download the manual that teaches you how to remove the keyboard, a general search will bring it up. For future use you can also get keyboard protectors from ebay.

I'm not a MAC man so im not sure but if its anything lik a thinkpad then those keys should pop off and allow you to clean under it.
Again im not sure of exactly how to do it,,,
