Let it soak in a bathtub filled with warm water overnight. That should clear off the wax.

Ok,do I need to put any cleaners in the water??

Sending my prayers :)

It's FUBAR just give up already
oxiclean or salt.
Thanks, filling up the tub now.
try putting it in the freezer and the wax will probably come off in bigger chunks/release more easily from the keyboard
Is Wax you dumb cunt not water or any other liquid, kys.
It can still get to the motherboard.
i'd use salt first though, it's always nice to have chloride do a deep clean for the cleaning power of oxygen to do it's magic.
You have been visited by the Laura of mediocre threads.
This thread is about to die with only 12 replies. OP, hopefully you got what you desired out of it and that it wasn't a total loss.
Can be saved by blood of jesus
Just a little bit of dish soap might do the trick. Think Dawn or something.
Why would you do that?
was it an earwax candle or beeswax candle
its fucked candle wax is such a bitch to get off and even if you do its likely to take more damage in the form of scratches and abrasion
forgot to add the slippery greasy feeling left over. even after using cleaners.
Hopefully you unplugged it right after it happened so nothing shorted out.
Throw it in the dishwasher on the top shelf if you have one. Then let it air dry for at least a day to be safe, reassemble, get back to fapping.
You're gonna have to take it completely apart. Expose the circuit board and clean off the wax with q-tips soaked in rubbing alcohol alongside with some sort of plastic scrape tool. Make sure the soldering isn't fucked if not resolder that shit. The keyboard will not function as it once did but you will be able to use it.
I got some lulz from this thread.
Op, prop it upside down and use a blow-dryer on it. That's how i saved my Xbox one controller.
Carefully lean it over the trashcan, fold a dry Brillo/Scotchbrite pad in half, and go to town. Don't use a metal one. The scratchy side of a dry sponge will work as well.
Also for the keys, use concentrated dawn dish soap and warm water in the sink. Clean them like you would your dishes. Let the keys dry on a clean towel for a night before putting them back on the keyboard obviously.
