Hey guys today I'm gonna show you how to clean the sticky keys on a low-profile aluminum Apple keyboard this one seemed to have gotten some stuff on it the spacebar at least the other keys seem to be okay this is if someone spilled you know juice or soda or something and then it dried up and it got the buttons all gummy first you need to get the keyboard up and remove that key I'm taking off the space bar it seems to have been the only one that got dirty using exacto knife to get under the the bar and then release the bar from those little plastic hinges do that on both sides and then give the blade a little twist to release it from the back hinges to remove the key and then start cleaning it I'm just using standard disinfecting wipes Lysol wipes or Clorox wipes work great you can use even q-tips or anything that you want to get in there row deep to clean it it evaporates nicely these disinfecting wipes and they don't leave a residue be sure to clean the underside of the key itself too and then I've also cleaned the sides clean the top if there's some grime still stuck you can loosen it with the exacto blade just don't scratch the key bed liner there's a little plastic liner under there and probably shouldn't scratch that so to reinstall a key align it back to where it goes the larger Keys like the shift key and the space bar have these metal bars that fit into the little slots on the side make sure those line up and then get those hinges to all snap it and back to where they were there's little pins on the sides of the hinges so that they all snap and the keys lift up do that on both sides and then press the two front ones in - you might be able to just press the space bar or whatever key it is down and then it will lock the other two where they need to go if they don't quite snap then you might have to go under it again just to make sure that the hinge actually attached itself to the connecting point on the key itself you'll know that you did it right when the key bounces up and down instead of just laying itself flat against the aluminum this one looks great and it's bouncing better and it's not going to feel weird when I hit the spacebar anymore Thanks hope you enjoyed the tutorial let me know in the comments below if you found another way to clean your keyboards.
