Cleaning the keyboard
You should clean the keyboard occasionally to free it of dust and lint trapped
under the keys. The easiest way to do this is to blow dirt from under the keys
using an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like extension.
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off the computer and turn the unit
upside down. Let the liquid drain, then let the keyboard dry before trying to
use it again. If the keyboard does not work after it dries, you may need to
replace it.
