Cleaning Apple PowerBook?
Ok, the deal is this, 3 year old PowerBook G4 1.25GHz The boy was watching a friend managed to spill cereal w milk on your laptop While it was open. was not a huge spill, but milk with sugar filtering of the touchpad, and the locking mechanism that keeps the display closed. Now, the release button on the screen is very hard to push, and the mouse does not work very well. I wonder if I can just stand cover, and take a damp cloth, and some static-free towels to solve the problem, or is necessary to have a computer repair shop do it? thanks for help guys. thanks so far, none has tips on how to open it, and what to do then?
I have the same computer, and the same situation, but I spilled tea on the keyboard. Off topic. Can his team deep in water, and that works, but you have to make sure it is completely dry before turning it on. Just remove the keyboard, get some alcohol (or simply place a drop of vodka) and Q-tips. Dip a Q-Tip in a glass (do not go completely inside), and clean the keyboard, especially in places where there are sticky residue. Alcohol quickly destroys the molecules of glucose. After it is over (a long time) that his air keyboard dry for the time period of AA and the alcohol evaporated completely. Then put together and power up your Mac. It must work like a charm. Good luck
