I spilled Dr. Pepper ALL over my key board!! What should I do to clean it up? all I did was wipe it off and let it air dry upside down, but now its really stciky and hard to push down on the keys! Should I rinse it out or somthing? I heard that you cant pop out keys cause you might break them, is that true?! And when I plug it in it makes a beeping sound.....why does it do that? and if I rinse it out will the beeping sound go away?Please help me its been 2 days!!

Depending on the amount of Dr Pepper spilled. If you spilled a small can, you can possibly save your keyboard. If you spilled a whole bottle of Dr Pepper, might be a different story. Behind the keyboard some have a small computer chip. Disconnect the keyboard from the computer. Using rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip, wipe inbetween the keys. On areas that are really sticking, tilt the keyboard upside down, using small toothbrush soaked with alcohol, scrub that area. Ensure that the alcohol is not soaking inside. Give it time to dry. 3 to 4 minutes and try your keyboard again. If it still beeps, the chip inside has already been damaged. Good luck.

you can wash your keyboard thru water but remove first every electronic material inside. you need to remove it first on your computer before poping up your keyboard. i think this will solve your problem. that what i always do.
