Replace the keyboard would be the correct answer there...

1192448 2011-04-06 22:38:00 Put the laptop in the dishwasher - works for desktop keyboards so why not laptops? :devil pcuser42 (130)
1192449 2011-04-06 23:25:00 maybe on cold rinse with no detergent.....

But a laptop has too many places to trap and hold water - you would have to leave it weeks without a battery to dry and even then it might not recover. A bit drastic really.

If the keyboard can be replaced perhaps it can also be removed and cleaned.

Incidentally I did actually intend to try the dishwasher on my G15 keyboard that has several keys stuck down or functioning erratically - but it's the original big one and it honestly will not fit in my diswasher.

Don't do it! :eek:

I ended up ruining my beloved G15 keyboard after a cleaning session went wrong. I had carefully removed all the keys, washed them, cleaned the keyboard using a cloth etc etc, left it all to dry for hours. But alas, upon plugging it back in a couple of my keys no longer function :crying

So be very careful with any dampness on that keyboard.
