I cleaned one of my keyboards a long time ago and I didn't know anything about oil/lubricant. What is it? what type?
I have one key sticking on my kids iMac I would love to fix, I think i screwed it up when I spilled water on it. I turned the board over, it wasn't much water and it dried for a day. Now it sticks, maybe it is the lubricant that is missing? -- \----/ sweet dreams and peaceful journeys, <(------|=> Turtle Woman (Tolba Phanem) /----\ "I need no seal of approval to know the blood in my veins it is from the earth and blows my soul like the wind, refreshes my heart like the rain and cleanses my mind like smoke from a sacred fire.
