Trackpad not working after keyboard cleaning.

"You do need to be careful what you use as well as how you clean the trackpad area. Water based cleaners will leave a film and they can creep under the edge of the trackpad causing it to go haywire until the water dries out! In some cases killing it altogether!

Never spray anything on the screen, keyboard or trackpad.Don't use wipes! They are often too wet & can be harmful to your system electronics.Wipe up ASAP anything that spilled on the keyboard or trackpad and turn off your computer until you can get to someone to clean it professionally.

Best to use a high quality isopropyl alcohol (85% or better) and the most important trick here is to use just a little on a cloth (lightly dampened) then wipe the trackpad and the rest of the case. If doesn't come off with the isopropyl alcohol use distilled water again a little goes a long way on the cloth."

"Blast the trackpad with a hairdryer for a minute or two.

Works like a dream"

"I also have the same issue, i don't get it! I've cleaned it dozen times already.

I noticed that track pad goes a bit grazy, but never like this and never for this long

What should i do?! :S"

"My trackpad was jittering like crazy. The symptoms persisted even while the mouse was plugged in. Touching the trackpad made the cursor stop but it would not move.

From what others put I thought that there maybe was some water trapped somewhere so I took the trackpad out and put it into some rice and baked it at 100F 130 F with a digital thermometer in a hot spot to monitor the temps closely. This seemed to work miracles because it's fully working as of now. I considered the trackpad dead and tried all other options first.

I think the problem was caused by cleaning with rubbing alcohol that was 70% and not 91% by accident."

Mine broke too, I wiped it with alcohol and it completely died… If so, then how to disinfect computer during this coronavirus, especially now that my sister keeps on going out and using my computer?
