Laptop keyboard cleaning

[M1R3LL]

A long time ago i spilled cola over my laptop, not a little but like half a litre.

I spilled it all over my keyboard and my laptop didn't work but magically worked after a day.

My keyboard is all sticky and makes a lot of noise, i thought about taking my keyboard out and cleaning it under the sink and letting it dry.

 

is that a good idea?

should i use destilled water, demineralized water or wil normal water do the trick?

how long should i wait aferwards to let it dry?

 

Laptop: msi cx70

 

Thanks.

if u can remove it from the laptop, tap water is fine ONLY if it is fully dry.

 

If you plug it in and there is water inside it, you might damage it.

a week should be more than enough right?

if u wanna be super safe, 48 hours after u think all the water is out of it, so if you can heat it up and that works then 2 days is all you need.

i won't need to use my laptop after cleaning it anyway, so just waiting long enough would be enough?
