Because  many times we are very focused on what we’re working on computer, accidents can happen and we have to pay for any mistake such as the one of pouring any liquids on it.
Any office  equipment, and especially a laptop should be carefully used  and maintained so that we might have a long time to enjoy his technical skills, and for that I  bought.
The  most common cause of failure of a keyboard is liquid flowing on the  keyboard. Immediately after the liquid flowing on the keypad wires start  corroded (rust). At an laptop, keyboard is an essential and necessary to  use. As a general rule, if the  liquid reaches  inside  the keyboard, it will suffer.




Because in modern laptops there are several layers of thin plastic film that protects  the wires, removing a liquid leaked keyboard is extremely difficult and  sometimes impossible.

The  keyboard is one of the individual components of a laptop. Keyboards have different appearance, location and  attachment of the buttons are very different, and last but not least, each  model has its own connection to the motherboard. Some keyboards  have extra protection against splashing a small amount of liquid.




If this accident is happen at home, and you can’t go to the service, you must  take urgent action to remedy the situation. For example I will explain how to clean the keyboard on a HP N3402 laptop.
Before you clean  your keyboard, watch it, turn off the laptop.

One way to clean the keyboard it will be to turn the keyboard  upside down and spray uses compressed air to remove any dirt under the  keys. Do this until it falls nothing. Use ear sticks to  clean keys. Wool soaked in alcohol or  simple alcohol.The  first step is to remove all cables that are connected to it after you turned off the laptop, and then using a rag away from all  traces of surface dust or dirt. After he put a half cup of water and half  alcohol soaked cloth at one end in the new solution obtained. Or you can use disinfectant wipes or alcohol wipes, for glasses, on your keyboard, too. Another way that it will learn us how to clean the keyboard on an HP N3402 laptop,could be that:
1L of isopropyl alcohol, turn off the laptop and remove the keyboard. Search for  keyboard size plastic tray, pour half a liter of alcohol (should be  enough). The keyboard submerged in alcohol and covered everywhere, will be left  overnight, but be careful to verify it sometimes, to see the effect.




This treatment can be accelerated if you can place the tray on a  vibrating surface or sink in the liquid with something that could  transmit vibrations or another way could be balancing a tray to also have a positive effect. Later, remove the liquid and  change alcohol, wash again, the keyboard and put it apart. Removed keyboard, dried well will be reputed on the laptop turned off.

After these methods to clean the keyboard you could be more careful in the future, because that won’t be useful many times, the keyboard being a very sensitive part of a laptop, too.11
