Hello!
I was cleaning my keyboard with Windex, and now it is not working
correctly.
Example:
3 3I 3was 3xlewaning 3my 3kewyboards 3with 3Windsewx, 3ands
3now 3it 3is 3ot 3working 3cxorrewcxtly.
Does it need to dry out, or what?
-Skip
Liquids and Electronics DON’T mix.
That’s any liquid including Windex.
IF your Lucky you may be able to open the keyboard up and clean out then dry the insides off.
If your Not then you will be in the market for a new key board
To open it up completely remove the screws from the back of the keyboard.
The try to remove the back.
DON’T force it. If it feels like it is still attached then it is,
Look at the keyboard, Between a number of the keys you may be able to see a couple of screws
Normally 3 or 4 of them. If you see them. Pry off the keys blocking the screws and remove them also
Then finish opening it,
++Make Note the Key Locations before you remove them++
Once open remove the rubber pad(If it isn’t attached ) clean and dry the PCB and pads
Reassemble the unit and give it a try
