So my work computer that I inherited has a sticky space bar. Some idiot spilled soda or something on it. Last time I tried to fix a keyboard I broke it in a dozen peices.
How can I fix it without breaking it? Already tried compressed air...

Unplug it, put it under running water, and then let it air dry. Thought the guy who told me this was a idiot but I tried it and it worked for mine.

 

[Arkayne]

use distilled water if possible and let it dry in the sun for a week.

Is there a way to pop the keys out to clean other crap that canned air doesnt' get? Mine has a lot of lint and serious dust bunnies in it.

 

[Arkayne]

The keys are easy to pop out on most pc keyboards. I use the edge of an old credit card or butter knife to pop em out. I would try it on a key that you don't use often like one of the F-Keys, just in case.

or spend 10-20 bux on a new one.

Just admit what you did and deal with it.
A soft bristled tooth brush and a little rubbing alcohol works pretty well.

 

[geargrrl]

Ew. I just cleaned under my space bar.

Dimming the lights rather than turning them off helps prevent this from happening.

Be a fvcking american consumerist pig already.

Toss that sh!t and buy a new one.

I recommend you sit further away from your desk when looking at porn.
