Candle wax on my laptop keyboard

lilalila6 · ‎05-08-2012

I knocked on my desk and my little tealight candle fell from the top and landed on my keyboard (I just got the laptop few weeks ago). I've been trying to scrap some off, but there's alot underneath the keys. I'm afraid that I might break some keys off if I continue to dig deeper under the keys. Does BestBuy even fix this kind of situations? If it does, does anyone know how much it would cost me?

Most laptop keys can be removed, as long as you're gentle with it.

Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

I did try lifting up the keys as saidin the videos, but the keys won'tcome up.I also watched another video stating that Toshiba keys are generallyhard to remove.

I'd recommend taking it to a local store, to have them see if they can get the rest out, or replace it.
