I spilled a bunch of coke on my keyboard, and the keys on the upper right side got all sticky. This video shows how to remove the palm rest, touchpad, and keyboard on a T61 laptop.
Your video is still helping people today, haha. I never spilled anything, but I've had gunk build up below it for years now. Time for an overdue spring cleaning of what is probably the dirtiest part in most people's close proximity.
I spilled a whole glass of water from a table down onto my wifes thinkpad it turned off in 5 seconds and I thought it was a gonner along with hundreds of hours of her work.I disassembled as per your instruction and then dried everything on a fan and 6 hours later I re assembled the thinkpad,and it works. THANX!!!!!!!!
Omg!! If I could give this video a double thumbs up I would!!! I dropped a large sprite on my computer. It turned back on but ALL the keys were sticking like they were super glued!! I followed your video. It was easy and EXACTLY what I needed to do!! Works great!!!! Thanks for the video post!! :)
What a beautiful and professional presentation. You really did a GREAT JOB and should be commended! Video was good, sound quality was good and you didn't give one of these goofy mindless rambling starts that I see on most videos. Others could take a lesson from you. Thanks you!!
@miguelroblesg Probably going to have to replace it. What you can do is take the tops off the keys and try punching the little rubber buttons beneath to see if that works, if not you'll probably have to replace the keyboard.
@NinjaAttorneyAtLaw I have absolutely loved mine. Mine is so much more rigid than my friends HP, or Dells.This computer feels of quality. I love the feel of the keyboard. My computer has been going three years without any problems whatsoever.
Yes, the basic principles are the same, you could type "Lenovo SL510 keyboard removal" into Google. The first result is a Lenovo guide to removing the keyboard. With this video and that guide it should be pretty easy. Good luck!
I was thinking about buying one of these refurbished but I have heard issues with keyboard and body flex. Is that a common problem? Thanks, this is a great video!
i have a lenovo T510 and my left mouse key is not working and the mouse keeps goin down slowly will this method work on fixing it? thank you for taking you time to read this
my sister's gateway laptop left click key isn't working because it was loose at first and the I accidently pushed it in and I managed to get it out but it isn't clicking and it's stuck. I need help ASAP
hi we have lenovo 61 its great, but my son has beenn tapping the left mouse buttton while playing a game and it kind of tilts to the one side when you press it , but if you press it to the right of the button its ok , to the left of the button it tilts , i havent removed it yet to look, thought i would ask first so i know what to expect, as im new to computors
well i've spilt some tea on the touchpad .. now only my left click doesn't work at all .. either if i just pressed on the touchpad itself not just the left button ... i have lenovo L410 .. any tips ??!
I did this and broke several keys off of my keyboard, and now the entire thing doesn't function. Had to order a replacement. I do not recommend doing this process!
how can i condemn the keyboard only and use only the power button to switch on. im only using external keyboard because the keyboard is not working.. thnx
can i clean it just with simple water ? sorry, it's just than i can not understand as much what u say cuz english isn't my language :c i have a X200 Lenovo
How to? Have look there under key, what you can find there it doesent move by water. and soaps, it need acids what you cant use to plastics, mechanic cleaning is only way, scratch it away. and after that use soap. When you buy used machine it can be anything from cyanide to black death under it. I have something black, it moves only by scratching it away. Awful work every key has to be removed, tiny winy parts, impossible to get back to its please, i have work now one hour whit one key this seem to take for ever. That kind of solution lirquiks what would melt all dirt away are a) expensive B) hazardous c) melt sensitive parts of machine, acids D) pollute more than is allowed. E) is possibility that you mash whole machine when it has to be dismantle, what makes whole thing extreme expensive when you buy old machine 200 euros. Must be inhuman work to chines to build these by hand, because it is same to use who has to rebuild it after cleaning, takes whole day and next. This kind of engineer doing machines fro one time use who change machine when it is polluted and give it forward that poor will suffer and get sick, like their workers doing inhuman job. Jail them and realise their property to their labour, must be mentally broken criminal or sick.
