FC660M- favorite keyboard ever, but a Bi@%$ to open
« on: Fri, 30 December 2016, 14:19:43 »
This is my fave board.  However, like a numbskull I spill something on a board about once a month- beer or gatorade or something sticky which often requires intervention.  The keycaps and case need to be cleaned, the PCB cleaned, and sometimes a few switches replaced.  Well this board has one screw so it's not "tooless."  There is then a bezel for the case with a series of tabs which can be popped with a small slotted screwdriver and assisted with a credit card or library card.  I'm not sure of the advantage of this design but I'm sure there's a reason for it. 

Well this liquid got in the space of the bezel of the case and it was like glue and I nearly had to break it off.  A little alcohol softened it up enough to finally get it off.  So I guess the moral is don't spill anything on it, although I'm sure opening this is second nature for the people who like to mod it.
