I know that if you go to any place like Staples, Office Max, Best Buy, etc. they have LCD cleaners that come with pre-moistened wipes and lint free cloths which I use and they work very well. And they work on screens or the exterior of products such as cell phones, laptops, iPods, etc.

You can just use windex or even water and tissue or a damp cloth.\n\nIts okay, you wont damage it.

open the back cover and check to see if the small balls on 3 sides of the mouse are dirty or not.Cleaning them will solve your problems.

What type of surface do you have your laptop on?  Remember, laptops are designed to be on laps and not tables.  Try placing risers under the laptop so that there is some air flow under the laptop as well. \n  You are also correct about having to clean the laptops.  Here is a link with step by step instructions on how to clean a VAIO.\n\n\nGood Luck

Your mouse is dirty, and needs a bath. NO No don' bath it, it just needs cleaning.Unplug it from your computer and turn it over. You will see a round plate with a hole in it, you will also see a ball inside the hole under the plate. Turn the plate to the left, and remove it, now remove the ball by turning the mouse right side up. Turn the mouse back over, take a cotton swab and clean out all the trash. You can also close your eyes and blow into the mouse to help clean out dirt. You will see a metal shaft, make sure it is clean. All done, good now drop the ball back in, making sure it is clean first. Now put the plate back on and turn it to the right untill it locks in place. Plug the mouse back in, and away you go, good as new. If any thing comes out of the mouse other than dirt or the ball, the poor fella has died and you will have to get a new one. I have to clean my mouse like this 2 or 3 times a year.

Get a new keyboard.  Not that dear & not covered in kitty poo / sick.  I can't imagine how you'd clean that.\nJust realised you meant water.  Leave it to dry somewhere warm, but no direct heat.  Leave it for a couple of days perhaps.  As long as it's just water & not waste should be ok.

OOPS! Your keyboard inards are made of mylar (plastic film). If the pop has gotten into the film layers it needs to be disassembled. The mylar layers can be cleaned with a very mild soapy water. I wouldnt use alcohol as it may remove the circuit trace. Laptops are a PAIN to disassemble. Find someone who knows how to do this.

I would try opening up the laptop and putting it on its side to let it dry out.  It should dry up in a couple of day and then try to use it again and see if it works.  usually this works if there was not that much liquid that was spilt on the machine.

It may be from dust build up.  A lot of cheap laptops have internal setups that hold a lot of dust in. You may want to try and buy one of those compressed air cans and spray thru the vents in your laptop every once in a while.

You should follow the directions in your notebook manual.\n\nTo be on the safe side, I say LCD cleaner. Some of the best is the Monster cleaner. I know, Monster Cables are overpriced. But for $19 you get a spray bottle that can clean just about any screen, lasts for a long, long time, and also comes with a scratchproof microfiber cloth.\n\nGet the Monster stuff- very potent, and the value (ironically and atypically) is great.

Well, I would do a few things:  I would purchase one of those cans of compressed air - for cleaning computer keyboards - and go outside with the laptop, spray away!  Every nook and crevice you can spray in.  Flip it upside down, sideways, etc.  Open whatever compartments you can and spray in them too.  Just be sure the can has had a good shake and isn't running low, or the air will be moist.\n\nThen I would use lemon juice... not IN or ON the laptop itself, but open it up, keep it turned off and squirt some lemon juice around it - on the table/surface it's on.  This works, no joke!\n\nAnd you'll want to keep the laptop off as much as you possibly can because they will be attracted to the heat.  The next thing you know, you'll have fried little ants shorting out your sensitive electronics inside!

I am weird, I clean my keyboard and mouse with rubbing alcohol pads and my desk with Lysol wipes. That was before I found about that story about the bathroom. Dirty computer equipment has always bothered me. I have scrubbed old beige monitors with Comet cleaner..works real good!

NEVER USE windex or water.  Windex will chemically react with the screen and melt it.  Water just streaks more and if your cloth is too wet, it will seep into the bottom of the lcd and fry it.  Go to any computer store (or eletronics store) and get an LCD Cleaning kit or LCD anti static wipes.  They cost around $10 and will last a long time.
