    hey there, i had a mistakge with a glass of limonade over my keyboard and now the keys arent working well anymore (glueing). i wanted to remove these 3 keys which arent working well, clean them and put them back on. Like on a normal keyboard. But i guess what i did now, was breaking down the "A" Button. Guess i have to glue it back on. But how can i clean the keyboard now? I need to get rid of the stuff under the keys.

    Thanks

    i tried cleaning mine by removing it... during the procedure i broke 3 keys and one lock to hold down the key... så i had to order 3 new keys and after some superglue surgery, its fine... never removing the keyboard again

    I've removed my keyboard 4 times so far without incident. There are releases long the top, 4 all total, if you're gentle and pull gently it should come out just fine. Unplug the cable from the back (it's a ZIF) and you can have at it with water or alcohol. Just make sure it's 100% dry before plugging it back in!
