Eesh, that sucks D= Hopefully it's not broken. I've knocked my laptop off of the bed quite a few times and it closed, and I've had my cat constantly laying/walking all over the closed screen, haha. But yeah, that's one way of doing it XD

I had to take my debit card and slide it between the keys to get all the dog fur out from between them. I had quite a pile of fur after I was finished, and I didn't even get it all o.o'

Oh I cleaned this keyboard awhile back and it was all sparkly for about 3 months and then my brother came home.

Basically I popped off all the keys and soaked them in diluted bleach and scrubbed around the things the key press into with a toothbrush. Hate macs for the reason that they have clear and white keyboards. SHOWS EVERYTHING!

But I got my new phone back in December and I was playing with it because it slides really well across flat surfaces. I was sliding it back and forth between my hands and off it feel into the garbage can off to the side of the table... Not fun with a new phone.

I left my new DS under the microwave. Condensation gathers, drips down, DS gets damp. I shat my self when it wouldn't turn on. It did once it dried out thought, whew.

I usually use this air stuff made for cleaning keyboards. :P.

My cat usually walks all over my closed laptop, and lays on it. Usually she knocks it off my bed while I'm at work. So, I come home at it's on the floor. ;~; I'm worried she'll break it one day. o_o

I always clean my keyboard out by picking it upside-down and shaking everything out. xD

One time I dropped it though, and almost broke it. ;-;

I have a shitload of crumbs under my keys. On my old laptop I tried taking the keys off to clean it, but I ended up screwing up some of the keys. I'll probably get some canned air to try to clean it out this time.

But other than the nastiness laying under my keyboard, I tend to take pretty good care of my laptop.

I have never done anything like that (to be fair though, I do not have a laptop. If I did my klutzy gene would probably activate and create a similar situation.)

Hopefully it will not be too hurt by what happened.

Meh. Hope your laptop is not broken. I've thrown mine in the floor accidentally a few times too. -_-

Oh man.. That sucks. I always forget when my brother's laptop is plugged into the charger. So, I almost always trip over the chord when I'm getting up to leave. Most of the time, it just pulls it to the edge, but on a few rare occasions, it's fallen off of the desk and gotten pretty smashed up. :) Luckily,

  1. He's never been in the room.
  2. It's always come out working just fine.

XD Yeah. I was atempting to clean the 'n' key on my sister's laptop and poped it off like you do a normal keyboard, fully expecting to be able to pop it back into place.

I didn't know laptop keys are designed differently O_o

We superglued it back on.

Hope it ain't broken. D:

I've never dropped my laptop or anything, (seeing as I don't have one) but I have knocked over a few monitors.

One time, my ball mouse was acting up so I went to clean it. After getting the supplies I opened up the mouse and put the ball in the little ring thing. Well, I realized I needed to get a toothpick to get a piece of fuzz out of one of the contacts, so as I was walking to the kitchen to get that, I heard a THUMP. Having cats around that jump all over the place and knock stuff off, I didn't think anything about it. After I came back and finished cleaning my mouse, I realized the ball was gone! I spent like an hour looking for it, only to find that it had fallen into a dust bunny and I had overlooked it several times... <_<

LOL. That's one way to do it.. XD That or God thought you needed to wake up and clean your laptop, so he did it for you, but hurt it in the process so you'd learn your lesson, lol.

I use a can of air to clean my keyboard. Just spray and go! ^_^ I've broken two of my mom's laptops. The first time, I wasn't supposed to be on it, and I heard my dad coming down the stairs, so I slammed the laptop shut. Unfortunately I slammed it on the external mouse and broke the screen. XD The second time I was on the couch with my sister, and she kicked me so I kicked back, not knowing that she had the laptop under the blanket with her. It broke the screen again. This time my mom had been smart enough to get insurance. XD

I was at a friend's house once and she decided to clean her keyboard while we watched something on TV. She just took the keyboard, snapped all the keys out, cleaned it, and put all the keys back in. I'm so afraid to do that since I know I'd...

a. Not be able to snap the keys back in.

or

b. Put them back in in the wrong order. Then I wouldn't be able to type. ):
