good luck. (most of those listed won't take incoming calls, because they're new Bell phones. Don't ask me why, I didn't post 'em!) |

You know, beige boxing and cordless phones make for lots of fun... |

take out any screws, pop the cover. most keyboards have some kind of plastic 'spring' system between the keys and the circuit board (that is really three pieces of plastic, two with circuit traces on them) and the backing. keep track of where the 'springs' are and make sure they go back in the right places. Otherwise pull the shit-head apart and throw it in the dishwasher. {sans metallic/sensitive parts} and you got a brand new fucker to play with. And if you really screw it up, it isn't that costly to replace. |

soak a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and then just rub the parts that look dusty? I already did the liquid sponge fake tape method. but it still looks dirty. |
is putting my keyboard in alcohol really okay? the idea makes me nervous. Plus you'd have to have a lot of alcohol, wouldn't you? |

YEAR-LONG conversation! |

Don't worry, not a nasty link. Basically, I already owned the stuff, and then I happened to read somewhere that it could be used to clean your keyboard, so I tried it and it works really well! Removes anything loose but doesn't mess up the keys. Uh, if you can't tell what it is, well, it's hard to describe but it's sticky and stretchy and gelatinous and they used to sell something like it molded into an octopus that you could throw against the wall and watch climb down or into a hand that you could stick against the wall or pick up pieces of paper with. Anyway, good stuff, and saying to yourself that you have a keyboard to clean gives you an excellent excuse to buy it !
