Any solution for sticky key (cola) |
|
Predictably, spilled cola on keyboard. It only affected the Backspace Key. Is there any way to get it cleaned out under there? Will it wear off?

1. You can usually pop the keys off |
|
I use a flat head screw driver to pop keys off my keyboard to clean it.
Underneath the key, you'll find a little plastic piece and the actual button that the key pushes on when pressed. I use peroxide and a Q-tip to clean mine when they're sticky. Let it dry for 5 or 10 minutes, then blow it out with canned air to clean out any rogue pieces of cotton from the Q-tip.

I got it by squeezing a little water on it. It has that guard under the keys.

3. You want a good solvent |
|
Isopropyl alcohol is probably a better choice as hydrogen peroxide is technically an acid.
