What's hidden below; the fate of your keyboard (56k no way!)

I cleaned out my old keyboard to find that hideous mess. Check yours, it probably looks similar.

Don't chuck out your keyboard just yet! I cleaned up everything with lots of gloves, paper towels, and Q-tips. Now everything is good to go!

i can't pop out the keyboard on my lappie myself, but when i brought it in to check on overheatin' probs and to get the burner replaced, they saved the TON of cat hair they found inside. seems impossible to avoid w/2 cats runnin' 'round. too bad i didn't take a pic @ the time.

A couple of months ago I decided to clean up my keyboard and found something similar (although not quite as bad :P ) as yours... I tossed it and bought another. The pics of yours is bringing back bad memories of mine now :P

i've taken numerous pics from work that i call the "hall of shame" for nasty keyboards/mice from end-users. i'll get them when i'm back in the office and share! i have the "cat hair laptop" that will put yours to shame. MWUAHAHAHAHAHA :cool :
