How to clean laptop keyboard

Friday, December 7th, 2012

Laptop keyboards are always getting dirty, and can be very tricky to clean, as they are made up of a number of small parts. It is advisory not to take the keys off the keyboard when cleaning, as although this may make cleaning easier, it can be difficult to get the keys back (and in the correct place!).

To clean in between the keys, use a can of compressed air. This will gently blow the dirt out of the keyboard. Try to direct the air so that it blows the dirt away from the laptop rather than just into other areas of the laptop as this can cause damage.

The laptop also has many other areas around the keyboard that need to be cleaned, such as drives, ports and touchpad. For these areas use a cloth that is 100% cotton, and does not contain stiff filaments. A cloth with stiff filaments may cause permanent damage to the touchpad, and cause it to function incorrectly. If desired the cloth may be lightly dampened.

Cleaning the laptop keyboard on a regular basis will ease the process of cleaning as the dirt is likely to become more lodged into the gaps between the keyboard the longer it is there.

Guide for Toshiba Laptop Keyboard Removal and Replacement

Friday, October 19th, 2012

Have you ever experienced Toshiba keybord removal problem when your Toshiba laptop keyboard is missing a key or it needs to replace a keyboard. Now, this guide will help you fix it step by step.

If your Toshiba laptop keyboard doesn’t work well, most of time it’s due to long time using. Then proper cleaning and lubrication will restore your laptop keyboard to the snappy and smooth performance it had when new.

If your keyboard is missing a key, it’s not necessary to replace the whole keyboard. You can fix it on yourself for Toshiba laptop keyboard removal.

If the above mentioned cases can’t solve your keyboard problem, it is likely that your keyboard really needs to replace a new one.

So Toshiba Keyboard Removal comes to a must. How to replace keyboard on toshiba laptops?

Step 1: Remove the battery and unpug the AC adapter before you open the laptop case. But if your laptop is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, do not open the case or you can loose the warranty.

Step 2: Unlock the metal plate before you pull the keyboard cable from the connector. Remove the metal plate that cover on the system board before you can get an access to the connector. To open the connector, move the connector lock toward the LCD screen. It is enough to move it 2-3mm to open the connector.
Note: Be careful with the keyboard connector on the system board.

If you damage it, the entire system board has to be replaced.Step 3: Lift your laptop up with a small screwdriver and remove using fingers. On most Toshiba laptops the keyboard bezel doesn’t have any circuit board underneath, it’s just a piece of plastic and you don’t have to worry about cables.

Step 4: After the bezel is removed you get an access to the keyboard screws. Remove two (or more) screws. Release the plastic latch pointed with the red arrow and lift up the keyboard. Carefully put the keyboard aside so you can access the connector underneath the keyboard. Do not forget that the keyboard is still connected to the motherboard.

Step 5: Open the connector and release the flat ribbon cable.
Note: Be careful with the fragile connector. If the pins get bent even slightly it is impossible to reconnect them. Sometimes you might found that by pulling the green cable tab out of the connector itself worked great.

Step 6: Change the new keyboard to the laptop. Just stick the end of the new keyboard’s film-like connector inside the plastic tab that you released to remove the old keyboard. Push the tab back down so that it holds the end of the new keyboard’s connector in place. Reassemble the computer by putting the components back in the exact spot you removed them from.

The keyboard removal and replacement instructions will be almost the same for most modern Toshiba laptops.

If only 1 key can not be input, the purpose may well be that the important thing is invalid or joints did not welded perfectly. whilst examine, examine whether or not its contacts is on or not. when the key pressed has no conduction, the important thing has to be at poor contact, which requires restore or replacement. when the get in contact with is ok, that could perhaps be the loose weld or metallic oxidation.

If the damaged keys are neither within the exact same column, neither within the exact same row of keys cannot enter, there may well be some thing wrong using the column line, row collection circuit, or logic gates. This point out can be recognized by 100MHz oscilloscope to find the troubled point, after which restore the laptop keyboard.

Prevent Laptop Keyboard From Dust

Friday, October 19th, 2012

Referring to internet café bar, the first impression is dirty. What about your computer at home? Are they as clean as you expected? Have your ever check it? To tell the truth, there are tens of thousands bacteria attaching on the computer, especially the keyboard. As the keyboard in my office, it turns to shinning color. But some parts are attached by thick dust. I think it’s not my personal stuff. So I seldom clean it initially unless it affects the usage.

Once I have read a report, it’s said that most people have no idea of how to clean laptop keyboard. Though it looks black or not so dirty, there is trash hidden under the keys. As we can see, the keyboard has many fillings between two keys. It’s the shelter of bugs’ body, hair, snacks and crumbs. People hardly realize the dust under the key. If you tap your keyboard on the back, you will see amazing stuff falling out from the keyboard.

Some people may think it’s the problem of the desktop. My dell 6000 Keyboard and Dell B130 Keyboard are the best examples. They take on a black look after half a year. They had some second hand smoke. They drank what I drank.

And they have the crumbs that I ate left. Some beetles used to sleep there forever. my friend used to give me advise to have a protective film. I didn’t take it as important as it could. Then I have this HP DV9000 Keyboard back to its original place. And a new one has taken me sixty bucks. It’s really out of my expectation.And the experts suggested that I should buy a protective film. While I used my laptop, the film can prevent the crumbs falling into the filling. As the climate turns cooler and cooler, there is no side effect on overheating.  Whether the dust is visible or not, we should clean it once a week.  In this case, our keyboard is under a clean circumstance.
