Question about cleaning the keyboard of an Equium A60

Hello

I recently managed to outflank cola on the keyboard of an Equium A60 and the keys are sticking rather annoying. Nothing else has been affected by the oil spill. Is there a way to clean the keys on these machines, such as by popping the key cover off? I am unwilling to put too much force to see if this method will not work because they don't seem like the type who's going to jump off and I don't want to cause any real damage (or rather, not more damage). As far as I remember, the period of guarantee in addition to the machine, so I prefer to take a solution that I can do myself rather than send in a (probably) expensive 'official' job. Any advice is welcome.

Thank you
Kemp

Hello

sounds very good. How do you know that only the keyboard has been affected? Do you have some view of x rays? :)

I suggest you to bring the product to a technician because if once some fluid more so deeply touched a laptop, then you have a big problem.
I can't give you a few tips to clean your keyboard because it s not only of clothes that can be lifted in a tube with some oxy-clean.

I really suggest you to connect with someone who is familiar with this kind of computer system.

Welcome them

  • question about cleaning the sensor of the A57

    Dear community of Sony,

    I have several questions about the cleaning of the sensor of the A57.

    Recently, I noticed several dark specs appearing on images when shooting at low opening (F20, F22), especially when there are high for them (like the sky in a landscape photo) contrast. To my knowledge, I've categorized as possible of dust on the sensor. I have read the section of the manual about cleaning the sensor and followed the procedure. However, the problem remained. I have previous experience with cleaning of the more resistant the probe of a Sony NEX dust particles, so I applied it to the A57. I used the specialized sensor cleaning tools combining two parts kit - wet and dry. Noted little dust on translucent mirror as well, so I cleaned up afterwards. Later, I considered this mirror could have some specialized coatings.

    So my first question is: should I have done some permanent damage the mirror or the sensors? Currently, the camera works OK, although some features of dust still remain. It seems that I had pushed some of them to the edges of the sensor.

    I'm not so happy with the tool that I used. I'm thinking about this one for a more thorough cleaning:

    http://www.digitaltoyshop.co.UK/Eyelead_sensor_cleaning_kit_SCK-1_Sony_Alpha_A57_t2836_6789

    It is marketed as a tool for A57. Should I use it?

    Thank you in advance?

    Best regards Angel Marinov

    PS: I'm really happy with my Sony A57 and the NEX. They made me a fan of Sony. So, I want to use this topic to also say thank you to the developers of Sony.

  • 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 P20 - beeps at startup after cleaning the keyboard

    Hey!

    I have a Satellite P20, which is strange. I have cleaned the keyboard (deleted, took apart and cleaned all the keys) but when I boot up to now (I have connected the keyboard) it will * beep beep * beep beep beep beep * on me (sounds like one of those things in the hospital). If I wait for some time, it ends by starts XP but then some keys (5%) did not respond (S and arrow down to name a few).

    I tried to start with the keyboard disconnected and that works like a charm.

    Then it is the keyboard that is defective? (I'd rather not buy a new one just to have the same problem) or is it keyboard connector or hurt (I have unplug and connected the keyboard several times)

    I am very grateful for any help or advice I can get.

    Best regards

    / Martin

    It is strange, but maybe the keyboard is defective, as you say.
    Or you don t have the keyboard connected to mainboad correctly. Check again.

    Maybe a key is always pushed and get the beeps. Select this check box.

  • 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 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.

  • How can I clean the keyboard on Satellite A210-127?

    After a week of use for non computer keys on my keyboard "cvbn_" became sticky (but still working)? What I need to replace the keyboard, or I can clean it by myself? Please tell me * how can I under key *? Do I have to remove all the computer or the buttons are removable?

    Due to the non - using sticky keys. Very strange! I was three weeks on holiday and none of the keys on the keyboard are sticky.
    Anyway, unique key can be disassembled and if they are sticky because of the separation of coke inside or something similar I don't think you can clean it properly.
    Want you can do is to remove the plastic cover and watch what happens with the little mechanism under the lid. Place again put it in the right of the cover place and push down, but gently. You will hear a click and the cover should be in place again. You can remove this cover for each unique key.

  • Satelite A30 - Question about replacement of keyboard

    Hello

    I posted a question [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=132833] on keyboard replacement for laptop Toshiba Satellite A30. I ordered a Curry www.partmaster.co.uk Web site now (~ A £47 including TAX). I will wait for it in a few weeks.

    The fact post refers to the removal of the keyboard existing as such:

    + If you want to remove the keyboard, you will need to first remove the thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons. Under this coverage, you will find 2 screws which fix the keyboard. These screws must be removed. After the two screws were removed, you could take the keyboard. +

    There is a plastic thin UNDER the F1 - F12 keys, who feels more easily removable as above plastic strip. One above feels very firmly attached to the laptop casing and has holes for the button ON / OFF and some of the lights.

    It is certainly the plastic strip thin above the function keys? or would that acutally one below? (I don't want to raise the Strip above if this is a mistake and I end up breaking!).

    I can post a picture if need be.

    Thank you

    To remove the keyboard, follow these steps:

    1. open the display panel until it is almost horizontal.
    2. press the F1 key on the row from the bottom of your keyboard and insert a thin tool into the narrow hole under the cover of the band.
    3. use the tool to gently lift the cover away from the computer strip
    4. remove the two black screws from the top of the keyboard where they attach to the chassis of the computer
    5 lift the keyboard from the top and then get out. The lower part of the keyboard has 5 teeth that are inserted into the slots in the chassis, so be sure to not break when you take off the keyboard
    6. on the keyboard's underside is a keyboard cable. Gently remove it by pulling the display panel in the back.

    That's all ;)

    Don't panic man ;) This isn't a type of problem.
    You get different or bad signs on the screen because the keyboard layout does not match with the keyboard language setting in regional and language options in Control Panel.

    Can anyone recommend what I use to clean the screens.

    You can use these fluids in relationship with a non fluffy cloth or a mild glass cleaner that contains no alcohol or ammonia

  • Question about my new keyboard

    My parents gave me a multimedia keyboard Microsoft 1. 0 to because my Dell keyboard was dying.  Multimedia keyboard has a PS/2 end and I only have USB ports, so I bought an adapter.  Who will perform the quick launch on the keyboard buttons?  The sticker on the bottom of the keyboard said KB-0168, so is no help.

    It is unlikely that the USB-PS/2 adapter will work. It can't hurt to try, but this has nothing to do with the special buttons work decisions. You need drivers for the keyboard that will provide the software for special of the keyboard keys. Here is a link to the drivers

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=MK&type=keyboard&name=key-00028&OS=XP_32&lang=en

    Connect the keyboard to your computer using the adapter that you have purchased. If it works fine. Download and install the drivers and you should get the advanced features of this keyboard.

    If the adapter does not work, go buy a new USB keyboard. You can buy a standard USB keyboard for $10-15, so it's no big deal. I bought quite a few very good Logitech keyboards from NewEgg for $14 ea.

  • Failed to start after installing the new memory module Equium A60

    I have an Equium A60 laptop with the following specs:
    P4 3.06 GHz
    256 MB Ram (including 64 MB ATI graphics card)
    30 GB HD
    Windows XP Home Edition

    The problem is the following; I bought a bar of memory in order to update my system. I bought a Kingston SO-dimm pc2100 512 MB. After installation of the memory of the laptop wouldn't start, after about 5 seconds after having turned it on, it turns off completely.

    If I remove the memory it starts up fine. I had tested memory and its ok so there seems to be a problem with the laptop itself. I'm confused, so if anyone has an idea of what might cause boot failure, I would be happy to know.

    Thank you very much...

    As far as I know the main reason for the failure of start is the use of non compatible modules.

    According to the specifications of the laptop, you must use PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51). If you want to buy the module Kingston (products of very good quality) check it please the Kingston MEMORY SEARCH
