MAC Keyboard Key Problems

Is your keys on your MAC keyboard been sticking due to built up gunk over the years? Have you, a member of your family, or a guest "accidentally" spilled your drink on your keyboard? Instead of using that keyobard as a baseball bat or golf club your friendly neighborhood IT department might have a way for you to clean that gunk and drink out of your keyboard. According to Christopher Breen from Macworld.com there are two ways to clean your keyboard. Here is the rundown of those two ideas.

• 1. Clean keys with a can of compressed air
  This method is the common method that almost all computer users know of. This method may take a few minutes to do but it gets your keyboard back in the game in no time.
• 2. Put the keyboard in the dishwasher
  This method is not so common. If you are brave enough to try this here are the steps to take.
1. a. Put keyboard on top rack of area of dishwasher


2. b. Set dishwasher to the rinse only setting


3. c. Let run


4. d. Once dishwasher is done, remove keyboard and let drain with keys facing down


5. e. Let keyboard air dry (This will take about a day or two)

This method has not been tried by the IT department as of right now so please use method 2 at your own risk. For a complete review on these methods pleae visit the following link: http://www.macworld.com/article/145131/2009/12/clean_keyboard.html?lsrc=nl_mwweek_h_cbintro
