My daughter spilled juice on some of the keys and they are now sticking. Can this be cleaned? She did not say anything so this is 24 hours ago.

It is a toughbook so don't be afraid to use a damp sponge to try and clean out the sticky sugarly juice. Increase the amount of water in the sponge as you go along until it gets clean enough to work correctly. Leave the laptop upside down while doing this to prevent the water from carrying the juice further into the keyboard. If you know how to remove the keyboard, I've successfully washed it with running water and letting it dry out vertically so excess water runs out to an edge. If the heating system is on, I've done this on a radiator or heating vent.

search on the internet under "how to clean grape juice from a wool carpet" (assuming the carpet is wool not silk), you'll find lots of methods. For example,

I am not recommending these or any other methods.

You have to disassemble the TV to take this board out, and must clean well. Never use water for cleaning. Use absolute alcohol or medical quality turpentine.

that is not possible to clean the keyboard needs to be replaced but its cheap enough should be below 80,- check electronicpartner.ie they have free collection

Remove all your accessories and clean them neatly. After cleaning Expose on sunlight for half an hour let them dry. Now fix your computer and try it.... thanks

You should never turn on any electronics that are wet.

• Remove the battery
• Place phone in a bag of rice
• let it sit for 24/48 hours
• Replace battery

Once it has dried out from the rice, you should be good to go, if you have not damaged it by powering it up while it was wet

I hope this helps

It is impossible to clean it, especially when the computer was powered up when you spilled orange juice on the keyboard, it most likely shorted out some components in the keyboard.
I suggest you buy a new keyboard.

Aksa, (means see).
use the alcohol cleaning tisue's. When the pad got juice in it ... well organic and liquid don't go well with pads.

I'll start by telling you that most of the time keyboards don't recover from a spill. With that said, clean it by using a 50/50 rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Remove the keyboard from the machine, and spray the alcohol into the keyboard generously. Shake out the excess or blow it out with air, then use paper towels to daub up the rest. Repeat this process two or three times, then let the keyboard dry for a good 24 hours. While you have the keyboard off check for any juice or sticky areas in the machine, and clean them with the alcohol and Q-tips. Let this dry well also. After drying put the keyboard back on and try it. If you notice any sticky keys after using it for a while, then take the sticky keys off and clean them individually with the alcohol and Q-tips.

To give it a good cleaning, you will need to remove the keyboard and clean anywhere you can see juice or feel stickiness. You can buy the expensive computer cleaners, but I suggest 50/50 rubbing alcohol and Q-tips. Remove the battery and C-mos battery to make sure there is absolutely no power to the machine what so ever. After cleaning inside, you will want to give it a good 24 hours to dry, ensure that there is no moisture before applying power. If the juice reached the bottom of the machine, you may need to remove the screen, split the cases, and take the motherboard out, in order to clean the bottom side of the board. If you leave juice anywhere on the board it will gum up, and the acids in the juice will corrode and detierate the circuitry on the board causing a motherboard failure. Now the keyboard, in order to thoroughly clean the keyboard, I suggest that you spray a good amount of the rubbing alcohol in the keyboard, shake it or blow it out with air, then take paper towels and daub up the rest. Repeat this two or three times, then let it dry approx 24 hours. Sometimes the keyboard won't recover after a spill and will need replaced. If it works properly, then, after using the keyboard for a while, you will notice if any of the keys are sticking. Take the sticky key or keys off and clean them individually. I know it's alot of work, but it'll teach you not to keep open drinks around your laptop. It did me, I've ruined one machine, two keyboards, and thoroughly cleaned a third very expensive machine of mine to keep it working, but I finally learned to drink from a sippy around my laptops.
