Today I spilled candle wax all over my computer. I cleaned most of it off, but it's all over the keyboard..?

Question

I spilled candle wax all over my computer. I got most of it off, but its still all stuck in the spaces in between my keyboard. Some letters I have to push very hard for them to work. Its killing me to write this, as it is taking forever. I just want a keyboard replacement. Is their anyway I can fix this? Everything is fine except for the keyboard. Best buy charges 300-400 dollars only because my hp has a minimum down payment of 300-400 dollars. Please Help.

Answer 1

Simply Replace the keyboard

Answer 2

This may sound weird but in household cleaning if you get candle wax on something you can freeze it to harden the wax and it will chip right off. I have no idea if you can put a keyboard in the freezer or not without hurting it. If not, and it's a PC keyboard, I would just do as the others said and buy a new one. they don't cost very much.  

Answer 3

umm...well that's a sticky situation...is it a laptop or a desktop computer? cuz if its a desktop u can probably buy a new keyboard at walmart or something. if its a laptop, then idk...i think there's some kind of keyboard cleaner, but idk if it would work on that. i guess you could try that. hope this helps!

Answer 4

Go get a cheap replacement at Walmart or something, or take a flat butter knife or letter opener and pop the keys out and clean around them. Do this one at a time so you don't forget where the keys go when you put them back.
