If this is not a laptop, just buy a new one they are cheap. If you don't want to pay, you can try rinsing it thoroughly with distilled water, then let it air dry. If it is a laptop, take it in for repair.

First, provide up blaming your cousin for what you probably did... :) Now, laptop's keyboard is actual complication-free to take out. look interior the handbook or on the internet a thank you to do it on that distinctive laptop. clean out each little thing under the keyboard and the backside of it as quickly as this is out. I wager there's a great style of this sauce under the keyboard. If this would not help, purchase a keyboard or possibly a broken laptop on eBay and replace. of direction, you are able to pass to a working laptop or laptop restoration save and ask in the event that they have a used keyboard.

so you're a canadian huh? do you know that lots of people in the US dont know that pop is another word for soda? your keyboard is basically toast. its always going to be tacky and some keys might even stop working. hopefully its a desktop and not a laptop. keyboards are cheap. you can pick one up for 20 bucks new. no big deal. and dont put you pop anywhere near you new keyboard.

Hi. First off, keyboards are cheap. But if you want to clean one you should take it apart. Usually a few screws on the back. They keys are MUCH easier to get at this way. Depending on the design, get at the sliding surfaces that are sticky and clean with distilled water. Good luck!

I use the word "pop" all the time, I'm from the US. Anyway, I would just buy a new one, unless it still works. Popping the keys off won't break them. They are designed to pop off if needed.

No problem. Turn it upside down and put in the dishwasher. Cool dry, not hot. It will work just fine.

Bring it to a computer place. They will fix it. Don't try to fix it yourself. If you purchased a warranty on your computer, the warranty would cover that. If you don't want to do that, you should get a seperate keyboard, maybe a USB keyboard to use instead.
