Physically cleaning my laptop

[jimbo12345]

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.

i've gpt a sunken keyboard, a brush wont get into 1/2 of it...

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 . :O

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.:wacko:

You don't use vacuums? :huh:

Plug in an external USB keyboard.

Cover your integrated keyboard with Saran wrap after misting lightly with sugar water.
In several weeks you'll have next semester's Science Fair project entry.

Or, you could just buy a new (or used, even) replacement keyboard and lay off the Newports and Doritos but what fun would that be?
