The last time I did that I broke a metal piece on the space bar and ended up buying a new keyboard. I swear I will never, ever clean my keyboard again! I hope your cleaning worked better for you.
I was concerned enough that the rubbing alcohol would seep down under the keys and cause serious damage. Thankfully, it appears not to have done so. But I don't think I wanna risk washing the keyboard!
When I hooked it back up, my computer went crazy. I thought I had ruined it, but it turned out it just wasn't completely dry. Not for the faint of heart. :)
whenever I buy a new computer, the first thing I invest in is a keyboard skin . . . keeps the little buggers clean as a whistle . . . the keyboard from my last computer is about ten years old and looks like new . . .
