Key board has had liquid spilt on it. The laptop still boots up but the keyboard is not working properly, how do I remove it , to put in another keyboard?

It is more than likely the motherboard has been compromised, you will see white spotted area's where the liquid has spilt. I have fixed a few boards using a stiff toothbrush and rubbing alcohol, but to be successfull this needs to done quickly. If you are able to clean everything off and it seems to work check out www.ebay.com Type make and model, refine search to keyboard.

Seems like you have spilt liquid on the keyboard?

the liquid causes connections between the circuit board in keyboard which causes the keys to not work properly.

u can try take off the keys and get to keyboard, you might be able to clean it with isopropyl alchohol and a cotton bud to fix it.

if you cant get the keyboard out then there is nothing you can do!

To clean your laptop's keyboard you have to look under your laptop, you can see like keyboard icons with some scews, so, open them, they will let yout to remove your keyboard.
So now your can remove just your keyboard slowly for some connectors on the motherboard then clean it with a tooth brush.

You can only clean your keyboard with a toothbrush without rmoving it,

Try to remove the space bar key and clean under it.

Try to hard press the space bar for about 5 times, it can release the pusher under the key.

it some liquid was spilt on it you have to remove the keyboard and clean the plastic under ther keyboard.


Good luck

1. Unplug the AC adapter.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Disassemble the laptop & clean all internal components.
4. Assemble it back & test it.

When this is done, you should fully disassemble the laptop & thoroughly inspect its inside. Look for any traces of liquid on the circuit boards & on other components. On circuit boards, liquid damage appears in the form of whitish traces. These needs to be wiped off. This can be done using a tooth brush moistened with few drops of hand sanitizer liquid.
Check all internal connectors & make sure that no liquid seeped into them. Dry them if needed.
When you are done, re-assemble back the laptop.
If the liquid fell on the keyboard & you found out that the keyboard is no longer working, then you will have to replace the keyboard.

If it still does not work, the motherboard might be damaged & needs to be replaced.

First thing is to not try powering the laptop on after the water fell on it. Next, you should remove the battery off the laptop immediately.

You can remove the keyboard and clean any liquid under it. ( The keyboard is one-piece ... and you may not be able to clean easily under each key.)
Review the first few steps to "upgrade the RAM" ... it describes how to remove the keyboard... http://forums.redflagdeals.com/acer-aspire-one-upgrades-how-609546/

Hi
since u hv spilled liquid.there is a possibility that it has spoilt the internal circuit board. So kindly call Acer.

In the upper front of the keyboard you can twist or remove the cover after you remove the cover unscrew the four or three screw that hold the keyboard and then detached the keyboard and clean or dry it.
