Change or clean up keyboard yoga 13

Hello everybody,
a drink syrup has been recently spilled on the keyboard of my yoga 13. I cleaned as I could after the accident, but now the keys are very sticky. I search solution for this :
1 - buy a new Keyboard and change this : the problem is that I dont find an azerty keyboard for the yoga 13 on internet (I am french). 
2 - change the keyboard by lenovo : I feel that lenovo is concerned only by the garantie and not repair at demand, can you confirm this?
3 - clean up the keys of the keyboard, I know this can be complicated depending on the model, someone has already removed the keys of the yoga ? it is simple ?
Thanks for your help
Julien

I never had luck cleaning sticky keys. I have always managed to make it worse, but I have never tried with a keyboard like a yoga 13. I have always found that some of the liquid got under the keys. I have soaked the keys in alcohol for some time, then used my hands to rub them while submerged. Let them dry before reassembly. I will add that the newer keyboards with less key travel are harder to disassemble and reassemble without damage. I couldn't find any source of French keyboards online. You might ask a local dealer.

    If your batteries leaked and possibly eroded teh contacts the best you can do it to attempt to remove all the fluid and clean the contacts. If the keyboard still does not work after a thorough cleaning yes it will need to be replaced. A new wireless keyboard is about $59 from OWC or you may want to look online for a used one, sometimes OWC (www.macsales.com) has them used. Other sources are Apple of course, Amazon, and any Apple reseller.

  • How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one?

    How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one on a Macbook Air?

    Apple menu / System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources.
    Click + (bottom left) and in the pane that comes up, select Danish on the left, and click Add.
    Of course that can only change what the keys actually input, not what is written on the keys. If you wish to change the physical look of the keys as well, get in touch with Apple and ask if they can replace the keyboard.

  • How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    Apple does make and sell MacBook Pros with Arabic keyboards but, as far as I know, they're only sold in the Arabic market. You may be able to special order one: I don't know. You may even be able to order the keyboard only online or at your local Apple Store and have your English keyboard replaced. Again, I don't know.
    The best thing to do, if you're in the US, is to call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Tell them what you need and see how they might go about fulfilling your needs.
    Good luck,

  • Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

    Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
    Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
    Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
    Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
    Soultion : Please follow steps below
    Step 1: Start > run > regedit
    Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
    Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
    Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
    This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

  • Backlight on keyboard yoga 2 not working

    just bought yoga 2 and backlight on keyboad won't work.  Tried the Fn and spacebar with no luck.  Anyone have any other hints on how to fix??

    hi Tohid,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    In addition to what indest have said, when you turn ON the machine, is the keyboard backlight turning ON? Also, is this a Yoga 2 Pro. Yoga 2 11, or Yoga 2 13?
    If the keyboard backlights doesn't turn on during boot-up then you most likely have a non-backlit keyboard. To verify this, look it up on the Parts Lookup page:
    Sample Parts:

    after cleaning my keyboard my keyboard not working

    If you used any liquid you probably shorted it out. Take the batteries out and let it dry out for a few days, replace the batteries with NEW and try it again, if it still doesn't work buy a new keyboard. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3226#peripherals

    Right click on an empty part of your desktop and left click "Graphics Properties" or something similar. Next, locate options for "Flip" or "Rotate" and correct the setting to put your screen right-side up.

  • Cleaning macbook/keyboard??

    I have an 18 month old white macbook, and where i rest my hands is prettttty grey. i also have the cracked casing issue, but since i'm out of warranty i know that won't be fixed anymore..
    but my question is,
    how do i clean the grey spots on my white macbook? it's mostly where i rest my hands to type.
    also, how do you clean the keyboard? my keyboard is not the kind that just pops out, so is there even a way? i hate having a grey macbook when i bought a white one!
    Thanks!

    A couple weeks ago a woman brought in her year old white MacBook for a memory upgrade and as I was installing it I thought to myself, "Where's the peppermint smell coming from?" As I was taking the computer back out to her I heard her say to another customer, "No, really. When my palm rest gets grungy I use an old toothbrush and toothpaste. Get's it clean in a jiffy!" Ah, that explained the minty fresh MacBook. Me, I use a Mr Clean Eraser.

  • How to clean the keyboard of my MacBook?

    What would be the best way to clean/sanitize the keys to my keyboard. I had a nasty case of strep throat and I want to make sure that the keys are not infected.

    You will not get re-infected as your body has built up its immune system to counter it.
    As for cleaning your keyboard i would do nothing other than wiping it with a lightly moistened cloth.
    Also wash your hands before and after using your Macbook if you are that concerned about hygiene.

  • How do you clean the keyboard

    I was wondering if there was some way to clean the keyboard cos mine is full of dust. I didn't really know what category to put this in, so sorry if its in the wrong place. Thanks

    Jia Wers-
    Compressed air works.
    If it is really dirty it can be cleaned in a dishwasher, top rack, no soap or rinse aid and no dishes. Just hot water.
    Run it through a cycle, take it out and let it dry for a few days and that should do it.
    And for all of you nay-sayers, please see this.

    Begin by resetting the SMC and PRAM each at least 2x. If that won't work book an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. However before doing so, after  you have done the resets (assuming they do not work) test another keyboard to determine if it's the keyboard or computer.

  • Keyboard Yoga 3 pro doesnt work

    hi
    friday i receive my yoga 3 pro. On Saturday i start to configure it. and start to install the windows updates. after many restarts the updates were finished. then i want to start to install my programs, but the keyboard didnt work. and the notebook was very slowly! so i restart, but same problem again. i search for a solution, i only find one thread were the new graphcis driver was the fault! but windows update and i didnt install a new driver! so i recovery the system, but same problem. i can use the touchscreen keyboard and and an usb keyboard without any problems! sometimes the touchpad also didnt work!
    hardware fault?
    thank you

    Hello,
    It's a guess, but I think it could be the Harmony software turning it off. 
    This software is supposed to turn off your keyboard when in tablet mode.
    Can you please run it in notebook mode, make sure the Harmony software is on, rotate the screen all the way into tablet mode, switch it back to notebook mode and see if it's working. Also, please pay attention to the top right hand corner of the screen. Harmony should indicate it's changing profiles while you move the screen. If it's not- it might be the sensor that detects the position of the screen.
    If that doesn't work there might be a factory fault in your unit. In that case use the warranty to have it fixed or replaced.
    Feel free to ask me about general PC issues, Ideapads, and Thinkpads.
