The plastic is yellowed and dirty. I show you how I restored this Yellowed I will retrobright the plastic. I was happy to give it a second life and restore it.

#Remove_Scratches
This video shows you how to Remove Scratches from your Plastic
Repair & restoration of a scratched Apple keyboard - How to resurface Plastic
This video will show you how to make your yellowed keyboard look almost new again.
Coat the plastic in hydrogen peroxide to fix discoloration. Hydrogen peroxide works well on plastics that have turned entirely yellow instead of in just one spot. Fill a plastic bag with enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the plastic. Stick the plastic in the bag of hydrogen peroxide and lay it out in direct sunlight. Wait 3-4 hours before rinsing it off with clean water.
You can purchase hydrogen peroxide at a drugstore or big box store.
If you’re treating some sort of plastic mechanism, make sure you remove all the parts that aren’t plastic before putting them into the hydrogen peroxide.
You can also use an old toothbrush to scrub the hydrogen peroxide onto the plastic if desired
Retrobright is a hydrogen peroxide-based process for removing yellowing from ABS plastics

Melamine sponges are the work of HEAVEN! Seriously whoever invented those things needs to be given praise FOREVER! They are lifesaving!!!

[@ChristmasMorning1995]

I have this keyboard and one day I spilled soda on it. I thought it’s already ruined anyways so why not try putting it in the dishwasher. I did and it cleaned it like new. I plugged it into the computer. It was dead. BUT after a few days I tried again and it worked. So after that any time it got dirty I’d do the same thing. Dishwasher. Keep it facing down over the sink for a day or two so the water will drain out and then plug it back in. It’s never failed. I’m typing this comment on it now. I’ve done this at least 50 times

[@EPICLULZ123]

Bro how often are you spilling things on your keyboard?! 50 times?? Surely that’s a joke?

[@ChristmasMorning1995]

@@EPICLULZ123 no I don’t spill stuff on it that often. I put my keyboard in there every few weeks to keep it clean and fresh feeling. You should see how often I wash my hands lol

[@connielaws1674]

First, if I did this, I would NEVER in a million years be able to put this back together! Second, brilliant job! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

[@KittyMax97]

Yeah no. Nobody listen to this. A keyboard is full of electronic components and you will permanently kill it. The water will fry it plus the amount of heat loosen all the glue on the chips. It will not work. This is almost microwaving your phone level bullshit.

[@Miss_Wonderful1]

There was a whole ecosystem in that keyboard 😅 Very satisfying video

This was my absolute all time favourite keyboard. It’s incredibly satisfying and nostalgic to see you clean it up so beautifully. How I would love to have one of these now 😊

[@KingDeathLxrd]

looks amazing i never thought a keyboard that dirty could ever recover

[@sandrafaith]

Amazes me that this keyboard's only from 2003. It looks so much older at the start of the video, like something from the '80s. _Wow._ I've taken apart my old MacBook Pro (2008) to replace the keyboard and the trackpad (and to clean it out), but never to this extent. I'm amazed / impressed.

[@AussieKim42]

Probably owned by a smoker. 🤮

Yeah, I agree 👍🏻, It's 2024 already and I still use this keyboard with Windows 11.

[@alliebean3235]

6:05 forbidden candy... in all seriousness, there's something about seeing the interior components of these electronics that knocks something inside my brain, like, the last person to see this was a worker in a Malaysian factory 20-odd years ago, i wonder what their life is like, if they're alive, if they're still working in assembly, do they have a family, a partner, a home? i hope they were able to scrape together a somewhat comfortable life. also those seed things under the keys look to be pumpkin seeds

[@soularvision]

An ultrasonic cleaner could help clean gunk out from keys and other small parts much faster than scrubbing every piece by hand. It can get in tiny crevices too!

yes i using on windows 11

[@mwaseemaziz]

How come the keyboard goes into that position in the first place? I have a keyboard from 2012, never washed. Just blow out the dust through the blower. still working great. Hmm, I can do the makeup like that on the keyboard for YT. Pretty smart It would be great if you could mention how the keyboard becomes like that.
