    Dell Insprion 6000 - can I clean the key board?

    I've got a Dell Insprion 6000, and have managed to spill soome fruit juice on the keyboard! Now, whilst most of the keys are working fine, 5 or 6 of them are rather 'sticky' and/or working erratically.

    Even though the laptop is still under warranty, I'm sure this won't be covered! I'd clean it myself if I could get to the keyboard membrane easily (On the Compaq Evo's I used to support it was a iece of cake) but I can't see an easy way of getting in it - anyone know different?

    At the top of your keyboard do you have two small notches on the black plastic shroud. all you do if pop that little black plastic shroud off (pull towards you) and you will see a screw. Undo the screw and the keyboard is off. Disconnect the ribon attached and clean the keyboard

    Ymm...black plasic shroud? The keyboard extends to a silver housing, and there are no holes evident. I'd post a pictuire if I knew where to host it...
