Spilled on my G510s

Still works, but a couple weeks AFTER spilling some coke on it and cleaning it thoroughly (I thought) my R and V keys have begun to stick pretty badly. I dealt with a bit of sticking with other keys closer to the time that the spill occurred, but I thought I had cleaned it up pretty nicely. Any suggestions for a better clean than popping of keys and carefully scrubbing with a cotton swab?

Disassemble the entire thing and take it in the shower and clean it. Leave it to dry for 1day, and it should be like a brand new keyboard.

 

Be sure that you have taken out all of the electronics from the keyboard first ;)

Right, I'd have to dig out my old iBuyPower keyboard to do that....

The little screen on the top kinda looks like it'd a pain to remove though.
