Portege R700 - how to clean the keyboard keys?

Hello
I have a Toshiba Portege R700 - and I spilled coke on a small part of the keyboard.
Not surprisingly, the two or three keys are now "sticky."

Is it as simple as access to the keyboard and the relevant keys of cleaning?
Or is it not that simple?
If I can do this, is there a pictorial guide on access to the keyboard?

I'm reluctant to open first without consulting the tech manual.

Thank you

Hello

In my opinion, you will not be able to clean it properly. Coke is full of sugar. It can be complicated, but you can try it.

In the worst cases, you must exchange he keyboard.
So what you need to do is to remove Cap key for each critical button. It is set with small farmers in plastic. Just take something like the credit card but more stabile, put under the key cap and try to remove it. Under the key CAP is little key mechanism. Try to clean it with a damp cloth. Be careful and clean without a lot of pressure.

When you think it's OK place the key cap and press it very gently of course.

You'll hear the clicking noise and the cp key should be up again.

I hope that you will be able to make it work again.
Please post comments.

  • Portege R700 how to replace the keyboard

    Hello!

    One of the keys on my R700 R700 laptop model PT311A-00Y00Q has a broken key. Apparently, you can get spare keys, so I need a whole new keyboard.

    I found this on EBay: keyboard http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Toshiba+R700+ & _sacat = 0

    But I can't find a guide to replacement of the keyboard, would you mind linking me to a guide?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've read some reports of users who have tried to replace the keyboard on the R700 and it's not very easy.
    It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
    Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
    Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
    And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts

  • Satellite L350-24U: how to clean the keyboard after having poured orange juice

    Hello out there.
    I spilled my L350-24U with Orange juice.
    Now, I have 4 keys to self-retaining :-(

    Can someone tell me how to clean the keyboard without damaging the laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, it's still a stupid situation
    Usually you can remove the keyboard of the laptop very easily.
    The keyboard is fixed with screws hidden under thin plastic cover near the line of F1 - F12 key.

    If you would remove plastic this cover then you would be able to remove the screws as well. Then you could lift the keyboard carefully and could disconnect the flat cable of the keyboard and the motherboard.

    Notes; two small latches on both sides of the connector must be moved in order to disconnect the cable.

    Then you could remove the keyboard and could clean it with a damp lint.
    PS: the caps can be removed too.
    But be very careful. You must raise the CAP to get it for free.

    There are many videos on youtube...

  • Satellite A305 - how to clean the keyboard after juice spills

    Hey guys,.

    I had a the sSatellite series A305 an i could not find discussions on this exactly.
    Basically whats up's had one incident minor orange juice on the left side of the keyboard thankfully not a lot of juice to all minor.
    I managed to clean most on the surface. And had to work it's good enough to get out of the speaker box.

    However, some of the keys are a bit of stick now, i wondered if there are techniques to withdraw safely on that I must do before I try to block these keys. Hmm pressing on enter appear... in any case...

    I had one of these laptops before a few months ago, but one of the keys is broken somehow, after that, I got a little worried because I had to basically return it and get another laptop from work. If im sure it was a defective key with the last one I was not playing with keys, but I'm not sure how sustainable this is. Also this will probably also help to learn how to clean the keyboard, theres a bit of a dust and grump under the space bar which has been botherin me an i have no idea how to remove one get clean the dirt below.

    I'll check this post when I wake up in the morning. If you know the techniques of hair removal good explain please, I'm not very good with directions so patient with me.

    Hello

    To be honest, you will never be able to clean the keyboard. Break down the water is maybe not so bad, but the juice is sticky and can not be cleaned properly.
    I'm afraid that you need a new keyboard. :(

  • Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

    Hello
    I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
    So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

    And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
    Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

    Thank you for your answer

    Hello

    It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

    I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
    More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
    I think that this is not supported
    Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

  • Portege R700 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

    Hello

    I'm trying to update the BIOS of my R700 computers with a command line on Windows 7 (x 86 edition french).
    I am using the version of the BIOS is P007Bv170_EC73V140.

    I downloaded the bios - 20101112151130.zip official website of Toshiba. In the zip file, there is no statement (no file Readme.txt or other help... files).

    Is there a way to upgrade in silent mode in the BIOS?
    Thank you for your help,

    Vincent

    Hey,.

    You need to run the exe file you will find in archive zip you downloaded. After this update the BIOS will start.

    But before this update, unzip all files and close all running programs. Also, make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

  • HP Envy 15 k046nd: Envy 15 k046nd how to remove the keyboard (shift of collage and key)

    Hi all

    Short version:

    Does anyone know how to remove a single key on the keyboard without breaking? (or if it is still possible) I tried some things, but have failed.

    Long version:

    Unfortunately, I spilled lemonade on my keyboard last week. I cleaned it all that quickly, and nothing is technically wrong. But after 2 days some keys on my keyboard started to stick very bad, especially the entrance and the shift key. They still work, but it's very annoying. I have tried lifting below them and cleaning, but that has not worked, and I also can't get down them. I looked for a way to replace the keyboard, but I have to essentially take the computer laptop all apart + it's expensive. I hope someone can tell me how to down the different keys without breaking!

    Thank you

    Leon

    Hi there @leonsmits,

    Welcome to the HP support community! I read your post and wanted to tender hand can help you! I read that you want to remove the keys of the keyboard because they hold and you want to clean.

    If a key is physically stuck in the down position, you should not replace your laptop. Many keyboards have keys that can be removed by inserting a knife to butter under one edge of the button and gently lifting upward on the upper and lower edge. Please NOTE: To avoid damaging the cushion under the key, insert the knife to butter only 1/8 of an inch under the edge of the key

    After having removed the key, using a buffer with alcohol, clean the underside of the key and the key on the keyboard slot. Put the key in the snapping it back in place.

    Here is a document for you called portable keyboard troubleshooting. There is a section in this document, called a laptop key stuck. This section will help you to guide you how to clean these keys.

    If the keyboard doesn't have keys that can be removed, you may need to replace the keyboard or laptop service.

    This answer doesn't solve your problem or answer your question? If so, please share the good news! Inform others that this answer was helpful by clicking on the button accept as a Solution . You can also show your appreciation by clicking thumbs-up.

  • How to change the keyboard on Portege M300-101?

    Hello

    I have a Portege M300-101, and I would like to know if there are instructions online for how to change the keyboard itself. Our unit comes with, I think, a Belgian keyboard installed... and a U.S. keyboard in the box. Are there instructions available for how to move on the keyboards? Also, I guess it's a good idea to switch the keyboard before turning on the laptop for the first time. Do you agree?

    Best,
    Dainis W. Michel

    Hello Danis

    Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. You can try to do it alone, but please don t forget that on this guarantee valid path will be cancelled. Basically, the replacement of keyboard is not well complicated and technicians may need 15 minutes to do.

    In my opinion, you can take a risk and pay for replacement before losing the valid guarantee. The Portege is very expensive and of damage to property, it is very risky to be unsecured.

    If you still think that you do not write anything again.

    Hello, people!

    I need help please. As the topic says, how to remove the keyboard?
    It's because I shared tea on my keyboard and, fortunately, no key was damaged. However, now it is sticky, and it is quite annoying!

    Can someone please help me with the entrance keys, Shift, back space * and other small keys at home.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sticky Keys?
    I really put t know if you will be able to clean the little mechanism under the CAP.

    OK you can try it. What you need to do is remove the key cap first. Pull it gently on the floor. It is set with small farmers in plastic. When the CAP is removed, you can check the situation and try to clean it up.

    When finished put the CAP in place and push it all smoothly. You will hear clicking noise and everything should be OK again. Do it for all the keys.

    Please take it very easy. If you damage this small mechanism you can immediately order new lkeyboard.
