The essence of the problem

Mankind is sitting at computers just a lot of time, and the number of users who do not leave the table, is growing rapidly. The result of such gatherings are all kinds of contamination of the output devices, loss of aesthetic appearance and various malfunctions. In the most advanced situations, there may be problems with operability. But if you are ready to make at least a bit of effort, then you do not have to shell out for the purchase of a new device.

The surest way to extend the life of this appliance is to regularly clean it for preventive purposes.

Important! The main enemies of this device should be identified, for example, water. The keyboard cannot be cleaned with water, since such actions will entail corrosion of the conductive elements and their subsequent failure.

You can carry out a general cleaning of the keys at home, but you will only need improvised tools:

• screwdrivers;
• towels or rags.

The time for the procedure depends only on how much the gadget was dirty, so we classify our problem according to several degrees of pollution.

Surface cleaning

If a small layer of dust, a little breadcrumbs and a little bit of other small garbage can be seen on the keyboard, then assembly and disassembly will not be necessary. It is best to take the following measures:

• Turn off the power to the computer.
• We find an electric hair dryer at home and blow dust out of the keys.
• A variety of crumbs and other garbage are also blown out.

Important! Instead of a hairdryer, you can use a vacuum cleaner for “blowing” mode or a can of compressed air.

• We take a towel or slightly damp cloth and wipe the dust from the surface of the device.

That's all! As you can see, I did not even have to disassemble the keyboard on the computer to clean it.

Important! Do not forget that the computer is clogged not only physically - with dust, garbage. The operating system can also accumulate third-party files, malware, and other garbage over time.

Neglected case

How to clean the buttons on the keyboard if everything is very bad? And what is bad? If your gadget has sticky dirt that cannot be removed in any way, sticky buttons, stubborn stains and other “charms”, then we congratulate you - this is the most interesting condition for cleaning. You will have to completely disassemble the keyboard and thoroughly rinse those components that you can rinse.

You can, of course, use the same alcohol, which will give an excellent result, but it will take a lot of time for such work. Therefore, it is better to disassemble the device. In addition, you have a great opportunity to gain experience:

• We unscrew the screws using a screwdriver, and then we separate the upper part from the lower part.
• Do not forget about the thin contact plate, which transmits signals.
• Next, we pull out each button from the case, using for this some kind of thin solid object (thin screwdriver).

Important! Take a picture of the location of all elements before dismantling. Also, do not make a lot of effort during disassembly, otherwise - you risk breaking some fragile component.

• The keys that you must remove and set aside must be washed with warm water without using those products that contain caustic substances. Also, rinse other plastic elements and proceed with reassembly after all the elements have dried out from moisture.

Important! Often, the system begins to shamelessly slow down, fail, and even turn off. To cope with a similar problem, follow the link to a separate publication, which is dedicated to various ways to speed up the laptop yourself.
