[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1643478, member: 56379"] It sort of depends on what it is or is not doing. I've had keyboards (from computers that I've purchased used)…that had "Wonky" keyboards due to liquid spills. Sticky evaporated liquid remainder causing the keys to malfunction…or not work. Sometimes the key caps can be popped off…the sticky residue cleaned…and the keys returned to functionality. But if the damage is deeper…a repair may not be possible. If we are talking about the newer Apple "thin/slim" desktop keyboards (wired or bluetooth). About the only thing you can do is pop off the key caps. If you try to disassemble the keyboard further…you end up with a mess (keyboard is glued together). If you're lucky enough to get it apart…usually you can't get it back together.:( I'm sure someone on the internet had taken one apart…and managed to get it back together & working again. But I think most folks end up with a pile of junk. - Nick [/QUOTE]
