Hi, Roger, you and I have a little bit in common. We are both non-technogeek-type people who hopefully have the good sense to know when to leave well enough alone. In other words, ditto. I have no plans in taking apart my computer keyboard.

I thought I' saved them and we did it once with excellent results; now I can't find the saved instructions and when google I get some warnings against it and some that did it with good results, but not quite as I remember. II don't think we used soap in the dishwasher. I remember we were told to wrap the cord securely around the keyboard and to put the keyboard upside down on the top rack (some on the 'Net put the keyboard right-side up and too much water stayed in). I also remember we were told to stop the machine before the dry cycle and to let he board dry upside down on paper towels or a towel (there also a way of drying it in the oven but we didn't do that. What I don't remember is what cycle to use--regular or delicate, i.e., china. Thank you very much.
