How to clean a sticky Magic Trackpad click?

Question

My magic trackpad seems to have gotten dirty in the button.

I've tried swabbing around the button with alcohol but I still, at times, have to lift the trackpad to release the mouse click.

Do you have any clever ways of cleaning it?

Answer 1

Try some Goo-B-Gone or other citrus based cleaning fluid.

Answer 2

You need:

• 1 or 2 cotton buds
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)

What you need to do:

• Put some Isopropyl alcohol on the end of the cotton bud.
• Rub the alcohol onto the offending button, being careful not to allow alcohol to enter into the case.

This worked for me, so I hope it will work for you!
