Linux Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago I have never cleaned a laptop keyboard thoroughly before, only the keys themselves. The keyboard of my old Clevo P670 is sticky in parts and i want to clean the complete keyboard system and check every key for functionality. Is there a good tutorial available, especially for the Clevo ones or even my model? 2017 Clevo Laptop, TuxedoOS/Win11
loopster Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago I've done that a dozen times with various keyboard models, always with good success. Even did it with models with kb backlight and mouse nub. It's pretty straightforward. Just remove the keyboard and completely submerge it in medium-hot water for a an hour or two. Maybe you also want to add some isopropyl alcohol after some time. Then dry it thoroughly with a towel and squish out all the excess water underneath the keys (and use centrifugal force to your advantage 🙂). Then use compressed air (like from a really strong compressor 🙂) to further blow out any remaining droplets until dry. Then put it on a towel and leave it for 24h (yes) on a radiatior to dry out completely. Should be as good as new after this. I was typing all of this on a zbook 17 g1 with a keyboard which had non-responsive keys and lagging input before this procedure.
