Buy a new Key board.

Really you can take the keyboard apart and clean it. all the buttons will pop right out. a damp not wet cloth to wipe down things.I tried to clean mine long ago. ended up buying a new keyboard.

Kray,

You can order another keyboard for it. They are really easy to replace, you just have to remove a few screws on the bottom of the laptop and the keyboatd will flip right up and then you will have to unplug a little ribbon cable and remove it all together. I am afraid that once these keybords get wet they usually start to fall apart because they have a cardboard backing. Email me at harley72@gmail.com and I will help as much as I can.

17, She ain't no sweet talking southern belle type. Standing her in a corner would be like trying to take a transmission a junk yard dog was sleeping under! I perfer to fix the laptop, not wear it as a necklace! kyray
