Thinkpad T495

How to clean the keyboard due to coffee was accidentally poured on the keyboard. I have no issue to type but the buttons are a bit hard (might be the dry coffee residual stucked)

try using wet wipes. the ones with alcohol for faster drying

Already cleaned but the coffee must be already inside. So it is dry now and stuck the button (I believe).

You need to remove the entire keyboard from the laptop. Try Google/Youtube on how to remove the keyboard.

Then use a electronic contact cleaner (spray type), usually available in Mr. DIY or electronic shops in Jalan Pudu.

Spray the keyboard clean, let it dry for about 15mins then test those affected keys, then finally assemble it back for further testing.


Hope this helps...

Replace the keyboard. End of story

Send for repair, ask the technician clean up for you.. Plus ask for check up
