The keyboard is a major component of the heat dissipation system in a Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys. Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record the wrong characters and other similar failures. There is no repair for this problem other than replacement. The solution is to become aware of the issue and take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard. To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.
