elitebook 840 g3

While I was using my laptop, I spilled some sweet drink on my elitebook 840 G3 keyboard , so now I am facing a difficulties to press some keys like "prt scr , shift , \ ... " .

 

So, can I remove "pop up" those key to clean them and replace them back without harm my keyboard?

 

If yes, could you please share a screenshots or video for removing and set back key from keyboard operation?

 

If no, shall I replace the whole keyboard with new one?

 

Thanks.

Avoid the temptation to pop off keys. They are very very hard to replace. That model laptop has an easily removeable and replaceable keyboard. If you spilled on it you really need to stop using it and have a technician look at it as damage caused by liquid spill is often delayed by a couple days as the drying liquid forms unwanted passages for electricity to fry the motherboard. 

 

Where do you live (country)?
