What did you spill on the keyboard?
You have nothing to loose on trying to clean it.
I've done it many times.
I'm supposing is a membrane keyboard.
-Take the keyboard from the computer, turn it upside down and remove all screws.
- Put it upside up.
- Take the front cover off.
- You going to see a kind of silicon membrane with the buttons on it.
- Remove it carefully.
- Underneath there are 3 plastic membranes with the circuit on 1 and 3.
Now, if the spill glue is only on the silicon membrane, just leave it (and the front cover) on clean water for some hours.
Then wash the front cover with water and soap. You can also gently wash the silicon membrane.
Take the soap off with running water and hang them to dry. After one day you can use a warm hair dryer on them.
If the the spill glue is also on the plastic membranes:
- Mark the plastic membranes with a permanent soft pen as 1, 2, and 3 (same order you see them)
- On the right up side there is a circuit board with a connector where the membranes are inserted in.
- On the connector there is a locking device ( a little plastic stick). Pull it gently till it releases the membranes.
- Once the membranes are released, you can take the circuit board from the back cover.
- Wash the plastic cover and the membranes the same way.
Once all parts are dry, you can assemble them back:
- Attach the circuit boar to the back plane.
- Put the plastic membranes (3-2-1). There are guide pins. Insert them into the connector and push the locking stick.
- Put over the silicon membrane.
- Put over all the front cover.
Now there is a tricky part.
Once you have the front cover on, you have to turn it upside down, and put on the screws without pressing the keys.
You can ask for someone to hold the keyboard by the edges on use one book at each side to lean on.
