Maybe this is kind of an odd request, but...
so, about a week ago, my brother gave me a laptop that one of his old roommates had left behind and didn't want. aside from needing a few new parts, the thing stinks. It's kind of like a b.o. smell, and it's especially strong in the keyboard, so i ordered a new keyboard and am definitely swapping that out. but as a take the laptop apart and get deeper and deeper, the smell is still in there! its like it has completely permeated the plastic and metal! i've been trying high percentage rubbing alcohol to clean as much as i can, but it can't seem to get the smell out...it's so weird...
so, what i'm asking for is if anyone knows of any sanitizers or strong deodorizer that are safe on electronics. i've tried sanitizer wipes on the plastic but that just kind of masks the smell for a while, then once it's completely dry, i can smell it again...
any thoughts would be great, thanks in advance!
yeah i was thinking about charcoal, but, in answer to your last question, it's not really worth it that much to me...haha. like i said, it was given to me for free and i dont need it, its a mac and i just wanted to play with it basically...haha...i'm a windows user and just dont have the funds required to buy a new macbook, so i've been looking for cheap used ones to mess around with, and then my brother told me about this one, so, long story short, it's not worth a ton of effort. thanks for the input though
