I'M NOT A BUSINESS. I HATE TO TAKE YOUR TIME. YOU CAME UP ON UNDER LAPTOP. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I SPILLED JUICE ON MY LAPTOP. I CLEAN IT WITH AIR IN A CAN AND USED A Q-TIP TO GET IT OUT. COMPUTER IS FINE SO FAR BUT, SOME OF THE KEYS ARE HARD TO PUSH DOWN. WHAT CAN I DO? OR IS IT TOO LATE?

THANK YOU

I don't know how tech savvy you are but, here is something that may work. If you can remove the keyboard you may be able to use something like alcohol to pour over and disolve the sugar which likely was left behind and is causing your problem. Another thing you could try, if you were able to remove your keyboard, warm/hot distilled water may help. If you do this make absolutely certain that the keyboard is 100% dry before reconnecting it. DO NOT use tap water as the minerals in the water may do more harm than the sugar in the juice. It must be distilled. To to restress, fluids and electricity do not get along, to try any of the above make sure the keyboard is disconnected and make sure it is completely dry before reconnecting. Good Luck.

take the keys off one by one to clean them (or you can spray antistatic foam on and leav ethe keyboard to soak for a few mins before drying (take the keyboard off first!)

Now very important!!

if the juice has any sugar content, turn the laptop straight off. you need to strip it down and clean the motherboard thoroughly. yes the laptops working now.. but after a week or two the sugar will eat through the components on the board and cause you serious grief!!!!!!!!
