Hi,
I've committed the Ultimate Sin™ by spilling juice over my keyboard. I immediately switched the laptop off, pulled the plug (battery as well) and dried the keyboard as best as I could. Afterwards, I restarted and everything seemed to work well. One or two keys were the slightest bit sticky but I hoped that time would solve this problem.
However, now, one day later, the keys are starting to get really sticky and the problem actually gets worse and worse to point that some keys barely respond anymore. On a "normal" laptop I would just remove the keys by pushing a small knife between them and pulling them free, then clean them one by one. However, with a MBP (and still running Apple Care extended support) I don't want to void my warranty that easily and risk destroying something.
Is there a way of cleaning the space between keys and base plate without voiding the warranty? I would also be willing to dig into my purse in order to get the problem solved. Are there any companies who offer such a cleaning service (preferably locally, i.e. in Berlin, Germany)? Does Apple offer such a service?
