How do I clean apple juice from my keyboard - the keys are stuck

Thats a tough one. Even though its counterintuitive to pour more liquid or spray down a keyboard that is what you will have to do!

1st method - if you feel adventurous

1. Turn off the laptop
2. Remove the battery
3. Spray WD40 underneath the keys
4. Press the keys up and down a few times if needed to unstick the keys

Repeat the process once more if needed to free the keys.

Let it dry out (maybe 45 minutes to an hour) before putting the battery back and restarting it.


2nd Method: If you want to play it safe

Get some ispropyl rubbing alchohol and spray it under the keys, or put it on a Qtip and get it under the keys. It dries very quickly...it will dry out in 30 - 45 seconds.

Happy Computing ! You just saved yourself the agony of buying a new laptop
