I have Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG with slim keyboard. I haven't spilled anything major on it, but I often eat in front of the laptop while watching some videos. Therefore small drops of milk and other liquids often leave spots at the laptop and sometimes go between keys. And it's not to mention small dust particles that have been falling though during last 1.5 years.
It's not that my keyboard is working badly, but I would like to have it clean. I assume I need to disassemble it. How do I do it? I would like to avoid disassembling whole laptop and there is suspicious plastic holder on the top of the keyboard (see picture) - maybe I can use it to remove just keyboard? Also keys don't go off if I just pull them up with the knife. Should I do it at all (maybe the risk to break something is too high)?
I can't find the service manual for your laptop now, but mine looks relatively similar. You've got little "thingies" on top of your keyboard, right of esc key, right of f4, right of f8 ... try pulling them down. If you manage to do that, then we're on a good way. – Rook – 2010-03-04T01:44:18.583
Found the "thingies", but they won't go down or up. Seems like they are bound to the keyboard. I am still suspicious about the long "thingie" above the first key row (Esc, F1, F2 etc.). – Sergiy Belozorov – 2010-03-04T02:21:47.413
Btw, when I said go down I didn' mean down/up in terms of perpendicular to the keyboard plane. But down, towards the touchpad for example. ... In any case, it was worth a shot. Sorry it didn't help. – Rook – 2010-03-04T02:35:02.290
