zsft said: Hmm...I guess you should do as others say, carefully take the keys off and wipe the insides. But honestly I don't think water will do the trick. Maybe to kill the smell, put a few sheets of Bounce (you know those lint removing / smell enhancer / softener sheets you put in your dryer with clothes?) on top of the keyboard, and shut the lid and leave it for like a day or 2. My friend did that when someone puked in her living room, and it completely killed the smell for some reason.



But anyway, I say you face it like a man and don't do anything about it. If someone asks what that funny smell is, tell them to sniff up because this is probably the only time in their life they'll ever get to smell it. Click to expand...

dmw2692004 said: What is so hard about taking off the keys and cleaning underneath?



just do it, since you dont seem to want to do anything else. Click to expand...

Good luck. Depending on your version, this might well work: http://www.nonverbla.de/blog/2006/11...-pro-keyboard/ Good luck. Click to expand...

benmrii said: Use something like a paperclip to pop the keys off and clean them up. Clean the area underneath them with a moist (not dripping!) cloth, ideally while the computer is upside down. Do not use any cleaning products, just use water. Let it dry upside down.



Risk is just as great for any liquids to get in through the speaker holes, but hopefully there's no damage. Good luck. Click to expand...

I would of tried my tongue. Since by now it was to late I would try a light detergent. Click to expand...

RainForRent said: From what I remember, removing keys is not easy, and seating them again is equally tough. Are we talking heavy seepage under the keys? (I'm trying to just forget what the actual substance is and think that you spilled a beer. Yeah, beer.) If its only minor, you ought to be able to get paper towel under. For example, to clean under your "R" key, push down your "F" then "T", et cetera, going around in a circle until you get all underneath the key. Goodness, I hope you get this sorted out, and learned your lesson. Click to expand...

Kardashian said: OH.MY.GOD.



I'm not one for the vajayjay so I'm not sure how it all works - but mother of God! - that is vile. Vile, vile, vile.



Unless you were humping atop the damn thing, I honestly see no way this could happen.

Eh, I don't even know where the closest apple store is to me, I've never even seen one before in real life besides the ones in NYC (that's how 'none' there is by me), and I'm not going to bother shipping, this seems like a trivial but pain-in-the-ass problem.Let somebody else find the closest Apple Store to Yulan, NY O.O.That one made me LoL.Yeah, bounce sounds like a good, solid plan, but I still need something to really "clean" it, now that it's all prolly sticky underneath and the like.I don't have a local apple store. Never even seen one 'cept when I travel to NYC. Yulan, NY is where I live, up in the stix of NY.I seriously weighed posting this here for about 40 minutes while trying to get it all out of the keyboard, until the good tangy smell started dying and the not-so-good dry smell started to come in - then I posted it here. Trust me, this was not the first place I wanted to post - but google didn't have much info.I didn't even know they came out on a laptop keyboard, and I especially wasn't sure how it was b/c of the back lighting system. There's simply no apple stores by me and I don't feel like going through the whole hastle of shipping it back for them to replace the keyboard.Holy ****, that looks like a pain in the ass, but luckily I got a lot of old lock-pick-type tools which I think I can push those things in. Thanks for the link, I think I'ma end up taking out the keys. There's simply no way I can get it all out from outside the keyboard like this, even if I use a toothbrush (not used anymore) on the sides of the keys or whatever.Thx a lot for the link.Yeah, I'll put tape over the speaker holes anyways, even still the I will use a towel with very little moisture in it. If it shorts out - then I'll have to ship it back O.O. Guess I'll jut use water then. Should work, assuming I get it all out. I have some old tooth brushes I don't use anymore (never threw them out), I'm sure I can get in all the nooks 'n crannies under there with that.No...hrm...I wonder if those will work...It's actually very good, as long as it's not dried (like it is now).Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I'm afraid of chemicals eating away at it - I'll probably use plain water.Does the whole keyboard come off as a whole? Or do I just pop all the keys out? (or both)?Yeah, from looking at the picture it looks like it's a pain in the ass, but just takes some patience. Nah, we're not talking heavy seepage, it was a splatter type deal, at about a 60* angle off the bottom edge from accross the trackpad's right side, space bar, v key, to F3/F4. Stopped just short of the screen, in that rubber joint thing that holds the screen still.Yeah, fortunately I learned the lesson the hard way -At some point in your life you'll run into what's called "a squirter" - the name speaks for itself. We were near the edge too so it's not like it was that far. If I took pictures of where it was and where we were it'd make perfect sense - but I'm not going to...and it's not vile, it's awesome...except when it spills on your MBP's keyboard because you were in too much of a rush to finish and close it.That won't rub the lettering off the keys, will it?@ ALL:Thanks for your help and keeping the jokes to a minimum, I greatly appreciate it.I copied my project onto this computer and stayed up since the incident and finished it (haven't gone to sleep yet), so now that the work is out of the way I can work on it at my leisure.It doesn't seem like it's that big a deal, but I mean the smell is kinda not-so-good when it's dried and I don't want the keys to stick.Thank you, csc, for posting that link, I guess I'll take a nap so I'm well rested, then get to work popping the keys out of this thing. I figure i only need to pop out like, 1-7, W-U, S-J, X-N, & the space bar..but then again there's a chance that it's not 100% level and it slid to one side or another underneath, so maybe it would be better if I popped them all out and cleaned the whole panel underneath.I'll use a damp towel and see where that gets me. I'll let u guys know how it works out.TIP: If you're working and your girlfriend's hot and bothered, use your head, finish what you're doing, then change projects. This is a stupid problem to have, but it's a problem none-the-less. I'll let you guys know how the key-popping & cleaning turns out.
