Over time, dust and debris builds up under the keys of your favorite keyboard, creating a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. The most affected are keyboards, whose owners like to eat fatty chips or shortbread cookies while sitting at their desk. Consequently, the keyboard must be periodically cleaned from foreign matter and dust accumulated in it, and for this it must be disassembled.
Instructions
Step 1
Disconnect the keyboard from the computer first.
Then rewrite the location of all the keys on paper or just take a picture so that you can put it back together correctly.
Step 2
Place the keyboard on some supports with the buttons facing down in such a way that nothing is pressing on the keys.
Remove all screws that support the keyboard bottom cover.
Step 3
Lift the cover slowly and very carefully, while watching the side on which the cable is located. Any careless movement can break the keyboard.
Remove the thin signaling plate and set it aside.
Step 4
Now use a screwdriver to pull out each key individually. The buttons have special latches that must be squeezed out in order to pull out the key.
Be careful with the Space and Shift keys as they have an iron retainer.
Step 5
Clean the keys and the inside of the keyboard After cleaning the keys and the inside of the keyboard, reassemble the keyboard in the reverse order. If after assembling the keyboard, some keys do not work, then you assembled it incorrectly. In this case, you should disassemble it again and carefully double-check everything. The work is not difficult, but it requires care and perseverance.
