[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1648387, member: 56379"] As bobtomay mentioned…you can pop off the backspace key to clean under it. I've done this before with a damp Q-Tip/ear swap with very good success.:) As far as the power button. This is a lot more complex to access…and given the complexity…I don't think that it is worth it. If you "sleep" your computer often…the power button doesn't need to be used too frequently. You should look at things more positively…and feel very very lucky.:) The liquid spill could just as easily landed somewhere MUCH more sensitive…frying the logic board. And instead of cleaning a couple keys…you could be new computer shopping! - Nick [/QUOTE]
