9xyg32 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 How easy is it to clean under the keys of a laptop keyboard? Can I remove the keys and stick them back on like I would with a normal keybaord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s10sys Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Depends on what make and model it is, I've only ever had to do it once with a couple of keys and that was really tricky. Getting them off is easy, my 2 year old son managed that! Putting them back on was a nightmare. That was a Dell Latitude, others may be easier, I know most Apple laptops are.

chumpy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 With most laptop keyboards removing/replacing keys is a big pain in the arse. Try hoovering it or get one of those aerosol blowers. regards Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience it wouldn't achieve much anyway. A good suck with the vacuum cleaner should do the trick, just make sure it isn’t set to super-turbo suction!

sallonoroff Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Can I remove the keys and stick them back on like I would with a normal keybaord? Yes, but it isn't always easy or straight-forward. And the little plastic 'scissor' mechanism under the key is very delicate... quite liable to break. In short, go with the other suggestions of using a Hoover! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
