How to clean keyboard?

How can I lightly clean my keyboard. It only has grease on it from typing.

Well, the wipes seem like a good option because they're pre-moistened. There's a couple of threads in this forum where people thought their cloths weren't too damp, only to have their computers die soon after. So I'd rather be able to sue a manufacturer.
The difference between moist and dripping wet seems pretty simple to me, but for those who find this distinction too subtle, pre-moistened wipes are probably a good idea.

  • Portege R700 - how to clean keyboard keys?

    Hi
    I have a Toshiba Portege R700 - and I have spilt some coke onto a small section of the keyboard.
    Unsurprisingly, two or three keys are now "sticky".
    Is this as simple as getting access to the keyboard and cleaning the relevant keys?
    Or is it not as simple as that?
    If I can do this, is there a pictorial guide on how to access the keyboard?
    I am loathe to open it without a look at the tech manual first.
    Thanks

    Hello
    In my opinion you will not be able to clean it properly. Coke is full of sugar. It can be complicated but you can try it.
    In worst case you must exchange he keyboard.
    So what you must do is to remove key cap for each critical button. It is fixed with small plastic holders. Just take something like credit card but more stabile, put under the key cap and try to remove it. Under the key cap is small key mechanism. Try to clean it up with wet cloth. Be very careful and clean it without much pressure.
    When you think it is OK place the key cap in the place and press it down, very gently of course.
    You will hear click noise and the key cp should be in place again.
    I hope you will be able to get it work again.
    Please post some feedback.

  • How to clean Keyboard for  iMac G4

    Have an old iMac (dome shape) G4 and white keyboard. Right now, I have some dirt lodged below the keys inside the keyboard.
    Question: can I clean this up? take apart the keyboard?

    Hi Joseph,
    Apparently dismantling these keyboards is not for the fainthearted. If you're feeling brave have a look at: these instructions.
    We have had some success cleaning our Apple Pro keyboard by disconnecting it (obviously!) and just gently tapping it around upsidedown, blowing into it, and using the vacuum cleaner crevice tool.
    You have inadvertently posted your query in the iBook forum. You might get more constructive advice over in the iMac Flat Panel Forum. Not that you're not welcome here, you understand…
    Best of luck,
    Adrian

    Several online sites that used to have helpful info for now vintage Apple hardware have
    gone away, probably due to economics and the forward of planned obsolescence. Ones
    such as LowEndMac, and XLR8 Mac had so much more.
    Hopefully you can make the keyboard work; or get a working used one from a supplier
    such as powerbookmedic - or wegenermedia, whose inventory is larger because they
    actually fix most portable Macs. The latter can repair on-site, like most major fixes.
    Good luck in this matter!

  • Qosmio X - How to clean it up?

    After several months it began to become too hot, but i can't even imagine how to get to the cooler, removing the keyboard - and no ideas what to do next =)

    Hi ElKario,
    Its easier as you think ;)
    You dont need to remove the keyboard. Everything what you need is compressed air spray. This can blow out the dust from cooling ventilators without disassembling the whole computer and it takes few minutes only.
    Here I have found very good explanation about this:

  • How to clean project from comman line ?

    How to clean project from comman line ?
    I would like to invoke the same functionality as in Flex
    Builder Project -> clean... -> clean all projects...
    but from command line is it possible ?

    You can:
    1) Perform a project clean up (p.153 of the user manual) - it removes any unused recordings, samples and other files
    2) Consolidate project (p. 154 of manual) - this copies all the used audio material into the project folder and also deletes any empty folders within project folder, making it easier to navigate
    3) Save project as a copy - this creates another project folder, but without all the backups and other additional files

  • How to Clean Ink Stains on HP 3050 All-in-One J610 series

    Hello - 
    I have an HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610 series printer.  I am a Mac User and am getting notifications with each document I print that I need to "Clean Ink Stains on Printer".  I have put brand new black and tricolor HP ink cartridges, but I am still getting some faded streaks in the documents I print.  I think the "ink stains" are specifically on the printer and not related to the ink cartridges, since I have put new ones in and the situation has not been resolved.  
    Do you have a video or step by step instructions on how to clean these ink stains on the printer so I no longer have faded sections when I print?  My ink cartidges are full and new.  I have had this printer for 3.5 years and have never seen this notification, nor have I ever cleaned the inside of the printer.  
    Thank you for your help.

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
