    Sorry for asking such a noob question. But I searched the forum and youtube and find no answer to my question. I also find the manual but as youtube video it only mentions how to replace harddisk/memory etc but still I have no clue about keyboard.

    I swear I would never be stupid again to get juice onto the keyboard but now...I am hoping for some help.

    Thank you in advance!

    Ah yes, it's the other manual.

    M11x keyboard Chapter

    You may need to check the mb and components under the keyboard once you've remove it.

    Any sugars are the devils playground on circuit boards.

    There is another thread somewhere, where someone spilt apple juice onto their M11x where the outcome was not so fortunate. It has a lot more technical details regards cleaning up after a spill.

    There are also a few good tear down videos on the youtube. It's really very easy.

    Thank you for the help. I click on the link, but there seems to be nothing. Could you get me the guide if its convenience?

    I was get a bit juice on the left bottm. So now the left shift and ctrl key is not as good as it should be. But its ok for typing, not in the best form though. I am afraid the situation will get worse if I do not clean it in time.

    Again thank you! Looking forward for your reply.
