In case that only liquid has entered this . I had the same problem and it is not necessary to dismount the keyboard at all. Put the keyboard into the plain sun an entire day. If you don't have strong sun do the following: Switch your baking oven on the lowest level, put a towel on a baking tray and the keyboard on top of it. Let the door of the ofen open and control that it does not become too hot. The keyboard must be quite hot for a few hours and all the moisture will vaporize. After that my keyboard worked again perfectly without dismounting anything and without doing that huge work as shown in that voiceless video.
I did it on my last keyboard. Didnt work. Then tried soaking it in acetone - don't do that. All the plastic dissolved :) here's me not thinking it was PLA plastic.
I found when doing this that the mat where the electric circuits run through is actually twice as long, folded together as one piece. There where water between the two peice, i managed to get them to fold up and removed the water, now several hours of reasembly later, the keyboard works :D
Thank you very much, you have helped me tremendously without saying a word. this fix took me longer than 4 hours to do but its been worth it. i got to also clean up the keyboard while trying to fix the same issue and now its working wonderfully. Keep it up 👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾
I've replaced many keyboards but never sucsessfully cleaned one, the passages where the "wires" go from key to key seems to short out and keys no longer work, not to mention getting all the keys off an on without breaking any is anything short of a miracle
that guy is expert in repairing . if new person will try to repair his laptop keyboard he will need 2 days for fixing the buttons . it will be better bring new keyboard and change that .
Nice video. I recommend to clean only buttons if they are stuck only in such case it is worthy to spend some time. Do not spend time if the keyboard doesn't work at all because you can't repair it, the liquid can not damage keyboard's circuitry because it is surrounded by silicone so the damage is internal, it is shorted out. Just buy a new keyboard they are cheap for a regular notebook/laptop but expensive for Apple products...
A couple months I had my laptop I spilt water on my keys and they never worked. I was in grade 5 now I'm in grade 6 and my dad took my laptop so one of his friends can fix it! Hope he watched your video!
Good video. It's actually a waste of time except if you're really broke or you're trying to fix a keyboard for a really old laptop that you can't find anywhere. But nowadays they're available for 10-30$, way less than the labor hours you'd charge to do that.
Keyboard Change Key .(Wasserschaden) water damages a glass of coffee tea dumped.fall damage ,Flüssigkeit ,ein glas tee kaffee gekippt. Disassembly guide Video
These keyboards are $10.00 shipped on Amazon. This is WAY to much work for $10.00. But I guess if you are in a pinch and can't wait for a day or two in shipping... I've been there.
its a hard work i dont believe i can do it¡ but congratulations for your patience i prefer go on with my auxiliar laptop, i damaged my laptop with wáter but doesnt matter.
complicated as h*ll, but good video. You got mad skills. I spilled a sticky full 42 oz of grapefruit juice on my new Toshiba Satellite. I snatched it up and turned it upside down draining it in front of a fan. Oh sure the keyboard works alright, but when it dried half the keyboard feels like concrete is under each key when you push em down. I temporarily use an wireless USB external keyboard to resolve being able to use it. I'm usually tech savvy and bold enough to open up a phone, laptop, or desktop to repair,or replace parts. But not this time. This one is new, and if I do this and it fails, I'm done...
Is it bad to wash the static membrane in soap and water? I did this with my samsung np300e5a-A02uB series 1 keyboard after coffee spill let the parts dry for 2 days and reassembled now some keys wont work did i wash away the static pads?
if this doesnt work for you then here it is, just use the hair dryer on cold, and then use it on the sides with level 1 power ON THE SIDES if it didnt work then im sorry, i tried
Also be aware with some keyboards such as the close surfaced keys of the ADVENT keyboards even cleaning them lightly with an alcohol wet wipe will damage them. I buy cheap keyboards so should I spill anything they go in the cupboard so one rainy boooooring day i might have a tinkle with them, but then again Nope get another one. laptop integral keyboards they are easy to fit and cheap. Once the keys have worn out i replace that is why using a cheap external Mini keyboard saves the keys from wearing. :)
what happens if some of the little black latch things come off while im taking the keys off? is it a done deal or can i just reattach the latch things?
hey i opend my kepoard after water went inside it n then i saw most of the water was inside the clear film keyboard i opened that also to clean up but now some of the keys are not working any advise?
vacuum it then wait for it to dry and bring it to the apple store. i dont know what the hell this is but i'm not doing it. next time you should keep your drink an arms length away from your precious electronic equipment, or on the floor or a lower level. that way if it does spill, you can speedily snatch your laptop away before it reaches.
For me a single key replacement is a pain :). Why do this, unless just for the heck of it. I fully understand if one lives in a third world country and has no ready access to parts. I just replaced the whole Dell e6420 keyboard with a backlighted keyboard, costing me $20. Please get a new keyboard.
You forgot to tell people how incredibly difficult it can be to get the keys back on with many models. Mine is a Lenovo L540 and I popped a few keys of. The latch attachment is so complicated that I cannot get it back together. And neither can anyone at the PC repair store. So I ordered a new keyboard. They make it sound so easy to remove and re-attach the keys. Unless you are a brain surgeon and can manipulate almost microscopic parts with special tools. Getting the key off is easy. Getting it back on can be next to impossible. At least with my model of ThinkPad. Taking off the keys is a last resort in my opinion.
Don't know what your keyboard looks like, but mine, Samsung R522 looks more or less like the one in the video. Taking keys out is easy, putting them back in is even easier as you only need to allign the key and press it against the mechanism, it locks into place straight away.
The only way I was able to fix my laptop keyboard, (the one I am typing this on) was by the following method. 1. Completely take the keyboard out from the laptop. 2 Using Rubbing Alcohol 91% completely immerse the entire keyboard in it for about 3-4 minutes while "swooshing" it back and forth in the alcohol. 3. Take it out from the alcohol and place the keyboard in a dryer with a rack. You need to have a clothes dryer that has stationary rack, a fan would also work. Dry on LOW for about 5-10 minutes and on MEDIUM for about 1-2 minutes. Check keyboard in dryer so that its not too hot our it could melt it. After that I installed it worked like normal.
if you have something to replace the back with, you can try. It is not recommended though, especially when you plan to put it back in your laptop afterwards.
When ever I drop a cell phone in water or spill Milk on my laptop from my bowel of cereal I take the battery out Really fast I use 90% or 70% will work too ( isopropyl alcohol) I take my phone or laptop apart and use a toothbrush with a cup of alcohol and dip and brush the electronics clean. For the keyboard I pour the alcohol bottle right in it. Let dry for a day and put it all back together. I have saved 3 cell phones and 1 laptop using this method.
My laptop is a Windows 8.1, I accidentally spilled water on the keyboard and now when I try to use it all the keys doesn't work, I don't want to go to best buy to get it fixed and I don't want my parents to find out so please help me D:
Removing the front plate is interesting if only because it seems the cheap replacements on amazon or ebay are "frameless", so you have to swap that part onto the replacement.
I remove the keyboard and I just put it under running hot water for 1 minute , dry it with a paper towel and shake it and dry it again and leave it outside under the sun light with the aluminum facing up and the keys facing down until gets dry.
Maximilian Are you sure isopropyle alcohol does not dissolve the rubber parts? I will not use any alcohol for this purpose. Use distilled water for cleaning the surfaces.
Hi! My laptop has 5 keys that doesnt work and 1 that is malfunctioning particularly the shift,z,x,c,v and n keys. Should i really have to do all of this?
You don't have to specifically take ALL the keys out. I've had the same problems with my G and H. They didn't work, so I had a friend help me out. You're able to take out only the keys that don't work, and you can then see the rest or just if you know the rest, do it.
You don't necessarily have to. If a few keys are affected, it is either a problem with those exact keys or with the row in which those keys are placed and communicate with the computer. However, if you are disassembling your keyboard anyways it is a nice opportunity to clean all the keys so that the dirt won't cause errors later on.
Holy fuck balls that looked awfully eternal slumber to do. Do what i did, remove the goddamn keyboard module and sink it in a warm soapy water and shake it off to loosen the stain then allow it dry. Let it dry by placing it in front of a house hold fan, then once dried, pour 70% isopropyl alcohol enough to cover all parts. It will dry quickly because of the alcohol consistency. Reinstall the module and viola 👏 👏 👏 .

Getting the keys off is easy, but the little brackets are torturous as f***

Better to use isopropanol tbh, it's cheap and it cleans better and it's better for the electronics. Water will sometimes cause problems.
