    HI,

    My dog decided to headbut a cup of tea onto my open 8600. It was off at the time.

    I immediately turned it upside down and drained off liquid. I also took out HD and and battery and cleaned.

    The 8600 boots up fine and by all accounts is behaving normally. However the keyboard is sticking on some keys. I need to open it up and clean. [:0]

    Question: Does anyone have the 'flexing' instructions handy with the pictures, I figured that would be best way to get to keyboard as I have never opened my 8600 before. OR can anyone tell me how to do it?

    What should I use to clean it ? Metholayted Spirits? [?]

    Help!


    You love that computer more then me
    No I don't love THIS computer more than you! (please don't ask about the laptop, please don't ask about the laptop)
