Hi everyone. I own a Toshiba M305-S4820 and a couple of days ago I had a little silly accident and I drop some juice over the keyboard. It wasn't a lot of juice and i maneged to clean quickly, but apparentely some juice went under some keys and now they are sticky and they stuck from time to time.
Is there a way to dismount the affected keys in orden to clean them? I would like to avoid totally disarming the notebook if possible. Thanks you,

Commander Wolf can i haz broadwell?
Ok, no need to dismount anything. Here's what you're gonna do: You wanna get a microfiber cloth, a pick like the one here, and a significant volume of rubbing alcohol.
You wanna soak the cloth in rubbing alcohol, place it on your keyboard, and wedge the pick into the cloth and into the gaps between the keys on your keyboard (around the sticky keys, of course), angling the pick such that you're cleaning under the keys.
Now moving both the pick and the cloth at the same time, left and right, repeatedly (this is a two handed job), you can basically rub away all the residue left by the juice without dismantling the keyboard.
Now I actually just thought of this a week ago, trying to get some crap out of my own keyboard, so do tell if it works with the juice -

If you can't clean it a replacement is only about $38.00. -
Thank you Commander Wolf, I tried your idea and it worked very well. I had to do it twice in order to completely clean the affected keys, but now they are like new. Thanks again.
Also thanks Jernkar for the link, it is a very nice price for a replacement keyboard, I'll keep it in mind in case I need it sometime.
