Physically cleaning my laptop

**jimbo12345** · 12-22-2006, 01:31 AM

Hi

I want to clean the crap from under my keyboard, but cant get to it. I dont want to remove the letters as i saw someone having difficulity putting them back on.

I smoke and eat over my laptop, and its full of crap, any suggestions (other than dont smoke/eat) to get under the keys?

thanks!

Get a small paintbrush and a can of compressed air.

A vacuum cleaner's soft brush attachment , maybe look at getting a clear cover like for desktop keyboards .

I was going to say turn upside and gently tap it , till I realized it was a laptop . You'd be amazed at the crap I get in my keyboard .

Turning it upside down and using the brush and compressed air should work.

i live in china, no vac here. Will invest in a cover, but it still needs cleaning

It is a wonder it is not tea leaves. Living in a cup as you do.
