Hi!

 

I spilled beer on my keyboard and now some keys are sticky from the inside. I tried opening it up, but the keyboard is very hard to access in this model. Is there a place where I can download the technical manual from? I have experience with changing hardware parts, but I just need some info on how to access this keyboard to clean it, because this one is under the motherboard and HDD and I couldn't access it after removing the motherboard. I just wanna make sure I don't break anything that is keeping it in place.

 

Thanks.

It really seems to be one big unit with the cover, that's why I couldn't access it. Well, the keyboard is working now, I just wanted to clean it. If it stops working, I know what to replace. 🙂 Thanks a lot.

Here is the Service Manual:

There is not much in there about the keyboard. It lists the top cover and keyboard as a single replacement part.
