Dirty Jobs - II

In 2007 I wrote another post in this blog about quality, early adopters and cheapest "gadgets": Dirt Jobs - I

Ok, the beginning of that post was only an introduction for my "dirt job" during a Saturday afternoon.

Four years later, today, once again my Logitech Elite Keyboard was struggling to keep the keys working properly due to all the dust it got in all these 4 years of hard work.

Here are some pictures during the process:

1. Without the keys

2. Without the screws

3. This is a multimedia keyboard with some aditional keys for Windows Media Player integration. If you also need to take your keyboard to take a bath, caution when removing these wires to not damage your keyboard

4. From another angle

5. After monting and washing all the keys with soap and hot water, it's time to put all the keys in place. This is the best part of the process, when you will test your memory to put all of them in the correct place! :-)

6. Great, my keyboard is in place again and working well... for another 4 years?

Thanks for your visit and don't throw your old keyboard away, buy a good one and have it cleaned once in a while, it will be with you for several years!
