Switch off and unplug the keyboard.
If the liquid is sticky or viscous, unplug the keyboard and call
your supplier or an authorised maintainer.
If the liquid is thin and clear, try unplugging the keyboard,
turning it upside down to let the liquid drain out, and drying
it for at least 24 hours at room temperature. If the keyboard
does not work, call your supplier or an authorised maintainer.
If a solid object drops between the keys, turn the keyboard
upside down and shake it gently. Do not probe between the
keys as this may cause serious damage.
Unplug the mouse, turn it upside down and locate the plastic
cover that holds the ball in place. Depending on the model,
the plastic cover can be removed either by rotating it counter-

Remove the cover and set it aside. Then cupping one hand
over the underside, turn the mouse back the right way up. The
ball should drop into your hand.
Blow gently into the mouse to remove any dust that has
collected there.
Inside the mouse there are three small rollers. Using a cotton
swab moistened with a solvent cleaner, gently wipe off any oil
