Cleaning the laptop keyboard - interesting solutions

For any technique, care is required from time to time. Periodic cleaning of the laptop keyboard, cooling systems and other computer blocks from dust is necessary for its stable operation. In the case of a laptop, such procedures are slightly more complicated than with a stationary analog.

Surface cleaning of the laptop keyboard

Working behind a dust-free laptop is not just pleasant, but very nice. But when it comes to cleaning, some of the keys are a simple napkin, even damp, not cleaned. On them there is a touch. In this case special means and devices come to the rescue. We list some of them.

The first and most convenient, in my opinion - is the Keyboard Cleaner. A small bottle with Cleaning liquid and a relief sponge are combined in the body so that when the spray button is pressed, the cleaning agent moistens the sponge. The relief completely repeats the outline of the keyboard. That is, simultaneously with the keys, the inter-keyboard space is also cleaned. Surface cleaning of the laptop ASUS, DELL, SAMSUNG or any other manufacturer with such a device is very easy. A cleaning fluid containing alcohol, removes not only dirt and fat, but also bacteria.

Another interesting solution is Magic Clean. This gel is a dense consistency that easily removes hair, dust, food remnants from both the keyboard and the gaps between the keys. The manufacturer promises, in addition to cleanliness, antibacterial protection. A pleasant moment is that the cleaning of the laptop keyboard with this substance is possible several times. The gel is stored in a special jar.

Surface cleaning of the laptop keyboard from dust and crumbs is also carried out Special vacuum vacuum cleaners. Convenient little machines, receiving power via USB and having a set of different attachments, replace the usual brushes and napkins. Such gadgets are often sold with an interesting body (for example, ladybird), which makes USB-vacuums fun gifts to colleagues or friends. In contrast to a vacuum cleaner sucking dust, crumbs, hair, etc., a compressed air cylinder, on the other hand, will help to blow out all the garbage from underneath the keys.

Periodic surface cleaning of the laptop keyboard will delay the internal intervention for a long time. But if it's time for "general cleaning", then there's no getting around without dismantling.

Cleaning the internal keyboard

For internal cleaning, the keypad must be removed. To do this, we move the small latch one by one behind the latch (they are above the upper row of keys). Slowly raise the keyboard. Then disconnect the loop. We clean the device from both sides of the dust. This method of removal is not suitable for all notebook models. For example, with a laptop firm DELL, you first have to remove the panel between the keys and the display, using a screwdriver as a lever. Then you need to unscrew the screws holding the keyboard, gently lift it and disconnect the cable.

In case the keyboard is flooded with liquid or does not work even after cleaning, it is better to take your laptop to the service. Since there are a lot of manufacturers and laptop models, and experience shows that the information on the Internet is not always correct, this way of internal cleaning will be the best.
