    Once in a decade or so, a video like this is made to renew my faith in the Internet. Being a maladroit tapir, I've been struggling with a certain key on my Asus for weeks (information withheld to safeguard their personality rights) - all I can say is that I'm really happy to have fixed it while following the steps in your video. Now the key works flawlessly, and I use it as often as I can. Thanccck youc vercy mucccccccccCCcch!

    Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. I struggled for ages with these miniscule pieces and thought I'd have to buy a separate keyboard as even coloured 'Tak ' wouldn't work! After watching and' juggling' a bit the key went back in with a 'snap' as you advised. Brilliant! I've even shared it with our local Tech expert for which she too is grateful.

    Bruh I broke my keyboard by pulling them out. Maybe this works for some people's laptops but some laptop's keyboards are just not designed for being pulled up to clean

      He should put that its for a mac, those are butterfly switched on a macbook! most laptops do not have those and ripping the keys off will be a permanent thing

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. Went to a place where they wanted to replace the bottom part of the laptop for $175. I was able to follow your video and managed to clean all the cold coffee I had spilled. (Not much but enough to be sticky) best video EVER!

    Your quick tutorial was very helpful! I found a staple under the keys that were sticking. The staple was removed and the keyboard is like new again.

    Just got a brand new laptop was doing school work on it and wouldn’t you have one single drop of soda squirted directly into the shift key. I was so upset that it became sticky and wasn’t working correctly. Just popped off a couple keys cleaned all under them and bam works like new once again. I can breath easy now

    @KarrieDreammind5 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I spilled tea with honey in it onto my HP Spectre the other day... 😭 Most of the keys are working but some display double when you press them and othera take ages to come back up such as the space bar. I'm so scared of taking anything out as I worry I might break them. But you make it look easy so I'll give it a try.

    thank god this video exists. any moron can pop a laptop key off, putting it back together is where the skill comes into play. I had one big key that broke one of its springs, but it still functions. those little plastic scissor springs are *delicate,* this cannot be overstated

  • @leopoldomolina1763

    I am going to do a deep cleaning like this. But I suspect that my current issue is in the
    electrical contacts themselves, due to the mechanisms look to work properly but I need to press really hard some of the keys. Any suggestion for the electrical contact below the rubber piece?

    • @bobbyunicorn
      @bobbyunicorn ปีที่แล้ว +1

      kinda fucked if that's the case to be honest. Only way I can think of is taking your laptop apart, and tearing down until you reach the keyboard circuit board right at the bottom and giving that a clean. which would require most components being taken out

  • @kyamatic-9969
