I suppose going round all the keys with a barely damp cotton bud wouldn't do any harm, try it on one or two, the unimportant ones of course, and see what happens, be careful though, I said just damp not wet. Good luck! and, stay away from cola when using the laptop in future! [smile]...

Hi all, I spilled some Pepsi on my laptops keyboard. The laptop is working fine but the keys on the keyboard now are very irresponsive. They are sort of jammed as you can imagine. So, any steps I can take to clean the keyboard please? Throwing it in the dishwasher is very attempting I know but a functioning part of my brain tells me not to do it! Advise please!
