If previous posters solution doesn't work, key tops are just a press fit, carefully prize off the key top, gently spray a small quantity of pc alcohol based cleaner around the drink residue, then blast dry with a can of compressed air (available from pc shops)
Good luck

Try some rubbing alcohol onto the keyboard not much but enough to seep through the crease let it settle for a minute or so then blow it out,if u can't use rubbing alcohol try some electrical spray try not to spray too much.

Travelmate 2410 keys not working

You don't need any drivers. Laptops and desktops use an internal win device driver. You can actually find the file called keyboard.sys

What you need in your case in a new keyboard. For your Travelmate they sell for about $50. It takes maybe 10 minutes to change it out. This is something you can do at home. Look on you tube for something like laptop keyboard replace and you can see the process and decide if it is something worth trying. If you google or bing or whatever for travelmate 2410 keyboard or laptop parts you can find several dozen sources. If you look they will have instructions or videos for your travelmate.

How do i remove the cover on my acer 2420 laptop to replace the cmos battery?Some one please help

You have to probably remove all the screws under the computer. remove the hdd memory and etc. The next part will be to check near the keyboard if there is something to pull out, underneath that there will be more screws to pull out and you will the cmos battery.

if your computer is the aaccer travelmate 2420 you can also check this website http://www.wiquestions.com/questions/les-instructions-de-demontage-pour-un-acer-travelmate-2420/

Keys do not work intermittently. Need to remove & clean.

Most travelmates have a couple of clips holding the keyboard in place, if you look at the top of the keyboard there is usually 4 clips that you can gently push back with a screwdriver. Just be carefull of the ribbon cable attached to the keyboard, don't yank it out.
