Spilled some juice on my keyboard

I spilled some juice on my keyboard (luckily nothing was seriously damage), but now about 5 of my top-left keys stick when I press them. Does anyone know how I can pop off my keyboard so I can clean underneath?

Thank you

You can find removal instructions here on the Dell site by searching for your specific model.  If you post the model number, I am sure that there is someone waiting in the wings to post the correct link...

Many models have screws that Hold the keyboard in on the bottom.

Some like the latitude LS require something from the top to be removed and then the keyboard comes out.

Which model?

I have an inspiron 8600, but couldnt find where to search for instructions to remove the keyboard.

And I do not see any screws holding it down.

How can I get dell to send another keyboard?

Thanks again

go to support.dell.com

choose the link for select a system, choose your system from the list or enter your service tag...

go to product manuals and it will have instructions there on how to remove the keyboard for your computer...

to see the screws, you need to remove the hinge cover, the blue panel at the top of the keyboard which has the power button. you can pry it up using a flat blade screw driver...

Unless you have Complete Care, you will be paying for the keyboard.  ALL:  This is another warning to NEVER have liquids anywhere near electronics!!  We have two examples just in this thread.
