Implementing preventive measures on PC Components
Preventive Measures on PC Components

Keyboard

 
Keyboard also accumulates dirt. This affects the working of the keyboard and causes the keys to stick with the dust particles on being pressed. The dust particles can also cause short-circuit, which results in incorrect characters being displayed on the screen. Liquids such as tea or coffee spilled on the keyboard can also cause a short-circuit. To avoid this, cover the keyboard when not in use.


To clean the keyboard, follow these steps:
1. Switch off the computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard from the computer.
3. Remove the key tops from the keyboard.
4. Blow the dust using a vacuum cleaner.
5. Clean the key tops with a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol.
6. Dry the key tops with a lint-free cloth.
7. Put the key tops back in place
8. Connect the keyboard to the computer
