I spray my keyboard out with an air duster every once in a while, but I really need to pop the keys off to get a proper clean.
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
Best to not require a deep cleaning.

Low pressure air should be enough.

Don't drink or eat around the keyboard...

Cover with a cloth, etc when not in use.
[Mechanical keyboards] strongst:
I'm using the plastic cover which came along woth my Sharkoon Skiller MECH SGK3 to protect it over night from dust. If I have to remove dust, I'm using an Opolar Air Duster(better than air duster spray and more environmental friendly)
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
I would use my Craftsmen shop vac with the brush attachment🤣
[Mechanical keyboards] orb3000:
I need one of those!
[Mechanical keyboards] strongst:
I recommend to buy it from the manufacturer, took some time too deliver, but cheaper compared to amazon (y)

[Mechanical keyboards] strongst:
Today I received a newsletter from opolar.com where they offer 50% including free shipping hence you can get the duster for just 28,49$ 🤑🤑🤑🤑
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
A brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner does the job very well plus it doesn't "throw" the dust around.

Just make sure the keys are secure...

I used my shop vac like this all the time. To clean pro cams and lens after shooting in a dusty location too. The problem with pressurized air is it can drive dust deeper into the victim device, a vacuum is less likely to. Lol, don't apply vacuum to zoom lense vent holes, etc.
[Mechanical keyboards] strongst:
I'm using the opolar also for my DSLM sensor, plants(vacuum cleaner isn't practical here), to clean my vacuum cleaner(Dyson V10), RC car, my PC(small gaps and slots where the air pressure can go deeper) and so on.

I'm mainly surprised that it's better than a can of compressed gas. Same and steady pressure, no ice, no harmful/inflammable gas and cheaper.

Of course, there are cases where a vacuum cleaner does a better job, as you explained 😁
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
I use both sometimes together. I use a 10 psi dry air source as well for delicate devices.

High pressure air is not recommended and canned air can cause condensation if colder than ambient temperature... definitely not desirable.
[Mechanical keyboards] orb3000:
Thanks for the heads up!
[Mechanical keyboards] christopherwoods:
If you're going to get a vacuum cleaner for use on a PC, consider buying a proper anti-static or "IT" vacuum. Most normal vacuum cleaners can produce a build-up of static charge which, if discharged into electronics, cause permanently damage them.

At work, we use a slightly uncool ESD vacuum cleaner. It's very powerful and we can use it inside computers and on any sensitive broadcast equipment without worrying about killing memory chips or damaging other components.

Anti-Static Vacuum Cleaner | ESD Vacuuming Solutions | Bondline

A compact, lightweight ESD vacuum cleaner specially developed for precise removal and collection of dry dust particles and debris from electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDS). Made from a tough, crack-resistant, static dissipative plastic. This vacuum cleaner has an adjustable fan speed and x2...

As usual, buyer beware. That product looks pretty cheaply made for an expensive sticker price and hardly what I'd call durable. Save your money and buy better.
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
Lol I saw those cute, expensive ESD tech vacs over a decade ago. If cleaning PC's, Xray equipment etc professionally I probably invest in a big expensive one.

The only time I'm really concerned with the shop vac is with loose out of circuit components and PCB's. It goes no where near them.

It is unlikely anything will be damaged as the keyboard inputs are fairly well protected.

If concerned disconnect from the PC and earth ground discharge yourself before reconnecting.

Carelessly plugging in to USB ports with a high static charge on their person is how most people damage a PC with static. Or sometimes touching the keyboard on a dry day. Simply touching an earth ground before touching the keyboard prevents that. Something I actually do in the winter.

Wear cotton not wool or synthetics...

I used the 6hp wet/dry vac for years on my pro cams, laptops and keyboards with zero damage.

To generate a static charge a good flow of particles must be present. There's just not that much dust.

The greatest hazard is too much suction sucking up a loose part or in the case of lens if you're not careful to avoid the vents, sucking dust into them.

If the RH is below 50% you might want to wait🤣

For cleaning out PC cases I simply use compressed clean air and the shop vac to catch the dust. In circuit components like ram sticks are well protected especially if the case/power supply are earth grounded ie plugged in. I was however careful not to get too close to components with the compressed air or go too nuts with huge clouds of dust.

If really concerned about ESD, get a quality ESD meter. That's the only way to know what's there.

There's much more static present of materials and objects than most could imagine especially on dry days. Once charged it can linger for minutes or hours.

As with anything though, use your best judgment.

Better safe than sorry at least until you get tired of goofing and around getting nowhere🤣
[Mechanical keyboards] strongst:
I bought 3 times there(while products on sale) and the seller is reliable and shipping is fast including the quality of the products which they deliver. They even gave me a partial refund for shippiong the wrong color.
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
There's one other fly in the ointment with non ESD vacs and even potentially ESD vacs that use a brush attachment. The high volume air flow causes the bristles to rub against themselves and the objects they touch.

This can produce static electricity and a charge potential can build up. Potentially discharging to anything it touches.

Static conductive bristles with an earth ground metal holder at their base would help dissipate the build up charge. A modified shop vac ESD adapter could be made like this.

I assume the whole body, hose and tools of the ESD vacs are made of conductive plastic, or a variation as described above, to bled off charges.

Regardless the conductive ESD plastic(s) should be earth grounded.

Also even if these precautions are taken static charge potential will build up to some extent; your goal is to limit production/voltage potential and slow discharge through contacted charged objects enough to prevent damaging voltage potential/current volume to flow through sensitive components. This may not be possible especially in dry conditions.

Always double check the actual value being generated with a good ESD meter.

Out of circuit components and assemblies are at very high risk of ESD damage; never vacuum these! Use compressed clean air instead.

Using a high volume balanced air ionizer in close proximity is another solution and probably the best
[Mechanical keyboards] datasegment:
Sometimes prevention is better than cure I have found that using either a boot rubber cover that can be easily washed in a sink of soapy water or using a vacuum machine 2 basically sous vide pack your keyboard without impairing mechanical action can sometimes help.

When it comes down to cable cleanliness I do find that bundles of cables on my desktop lead to collection of dust particles and dirt and with a high powered PC blowing 40 degree temperature air around the room this can sometimes become a major problem. I myself invested in a fairly cheap mouse and keyboard wireless setup some years ago that were both designed to shun any liquid spills this means there were membranes internally that stop any tea coffee or soft drink from invading their vitals. Also this removes the need to worry about extraneous cabling..

I clean the keyboard with an air duster and sometimes cover it with a clean cloth when I don't use it. But sometimes I feel it needs deep cleaning.
[Mechanical keyboards] anawilliam850:
Thanks for sharing these useful tips on how to keep a mechanical keyboard clean and well-maintained. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prolong the life of the keyboard and improve its performance. It's great that you've included both simple and deep cleaning methods, as well as recommended tools for cleaning.

I would also like to add that it's important to be gentle when cleaning the keyboard and its components, as excessive force or the use of abrasive materials could damage the keys, switches, or other parts. Additionally, it's a good idea to read the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for cleaning and maintenance, as some keyboards may have specific requirements or limitations.

Overall, these tips should be helpful for anyone looking to keep their mechanical keyboard clean and functional. Thanks for sharing!
[Mechanical keyboards] blackhawk:
Before you use any vacuum on a keyboard unplug it first. ESD can potentially overload the protection on the mobo USB inputs.

Best to do when the relative room humidity is at least 40% to help keep static charges from building up.

Before you plug a USB cable in touch an earth ground while holding the USB metal plug with your hand especially in dry conditions. That way only the peripheral device is at risk of being damage. Using a wrist ground strap (connected to earth ground) would eliminate risk to both devices as it has a built in high value resistor to help safely bleed off any static charge.

Those stories you hear about people blowing out their mobo by plugging in a USB cable with static electricity are true... damage may be instant or accumulatory. ESD damage may take days, weeks even years to manifest itself.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] vinokirk:
@hainguyenthao helped me out. Showed me how to get into downlaod mode without pressing power and vol down!

Let the phone power down, leave it for 30 mins or so. then press vol up and vol down and insert USB cable.

OR if phone is in bootloop, press vol down and power till phone reboots, then VERY quickly hold down vol up and vol down and plug in USB cable
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] starpandi2004:
Dude, To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable.

But for your problem you have to put your device in recovery mode then flash ROM. Still the problem continues, you can try this download link
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Saalschlacht:
I've the same problem with my Note 10+... Was on Dr. Ketan Rom and update with magisk app ends in a boot loop, I couldn't break -.-

@vinokirk could you solve the problem?

Edit: Thanks to @starpandi2004 - on the first try I can break the bootloop, but just to the first screen. After choosing download mode, it comes bootloop again -.-

Is it worth to try to lock bootloader and factory reset phone? What will happen? Is the original rom somewhere packed and would be installed again by factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] starpandi2004:
Bro what about TWRP recovery? can you able access it...

if yes then dirty flash KETAN ROM..it will solve...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] darkmind21:
just had same same problem.

i connected mine to the pc and use power+up volume until twrp appeear and them restores from last backup
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Vicky078:
I got the simplest solution for this issue!

If u r stuck on Samsung logo, then try this method.

Turn off the phone by pressing vol down and power button. Once the phone is shut down, release and press again the vol down and power button when u see Samsung note 10 plus screen, then release the power button but keep pressing vol down. Once u see the "Samsung" logo, immediately release the vol down button and quickly press vol up button.

This will boot up without any problem!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] amdad170:
Hello everyone. Hope youre enjoying ur day. I have a poco x3 nfc (bought in the UK). I would like to install custom roms on it. After updating to android 11 I have faced some bugs on miui 🤦‍♂️. Just to let u know, I have little experience about installing as I used to experiment with my mi a2 lite. I have couple of question,

1) If I install custom rom on my poco x3 nfc will I lose my miui camera app? is there any ways to get it working on a custom rom?

2) Can anyone give me the links to working custom recovery and stock rom?

3) is magisk still a thing? (lol) Havent been experimenting with this in a long time

Thanks in advance. Cheers

1) There's a Magisk module for that

2) You'll find a working recovery, ROMs etc in the forum

3) See #1. I use ANX Camera (MIUI cam for custom ROMs), a call recording module, systemless hosts for adblocking and a OnePlus font). Other people use sound enhancement modules etc
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] andip71:
Hi all,

I have an extremely strange issues on one of my 3 OnePlus 5 phones after updating to 10.0.1 OOS.

On two identically configured phones all works fine, however on the third phone I cannot make any phone calls anymore. This means, a call is dropped after a few seconds or even not established at all, regardless whether I receive a call or do an outgoing call.

Note: I am not talking anything fancy like VoLTE or so, I really mean plain basic phoning the "old style".

Now what I tried:

- moving SIM cards between the phones - all SIMs are fine in the other phones. And all SIMs cause the same trouble in this one specific phone

- all sort of factory resetting and freshly sideloading the OS even

- downgrading again to OOS 4, 5 and 9. And this is the strangest part - on OOS 4, 5 and 9 all works perfectly fine. As soon as I upgrade to 10 the issue is back. It is just like the modem firmware for 10.0.1 does not like my hardware in just that one phone.

It is an unlocked phone, standard OP5, no modifications like root or so.

I am now lost after trying and analysing everything for almost 2 full days.

It seems a very strange problem, so I do not expect some sort of real solution here. But I wanted to know if I am the only one in the world having this issue, or whether some more cases exist?

All I can do is set back to OOS 9 again (using the MSM unbrick tool), this gives me calling back. But is it what I want? Certainly not.

Thanks for letting me know guys.

Hi,

I have the same problem. After making a call the phone application remains stuck after hanging up, for about 30 seconds before alowing me to make another call.

Does anyone know what is happening and how to resolve this? Its highly irritating especially if you want to make one call immediately after the other...

Many Thanks!

Version of ROM being used. (more info)

Hi,

I am using the following ROM:

SwiftBL WWE Diamond v6.5 Full (16MB Pagepool) - Radio version was also upgraded to v1.05.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything else works perfectly Call quality, GPS etc its just this nagging delay during making calls where the dialer just holdsup for about 30 seconds that is causing issues...

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] batasan:
Sorry a soft reset is possible but needs to be done in order to make it unfreeze. Could this be a rom problem or related to touch flo ? It's really annoying, please help !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] srmz:
For me this happens specially if I had made a call through the call history screen. For example if I have a missed call and in the call history screen I tap the name of the caller then the call is made but in the end the phone hangs. This usually does not happen if I make a call through the normal keypad

I think with the debloating, I may have messed up some critical functionality.

What's the best/easiest way to restore recent Stock ROM?

Hoping to somehow just do a OTA refresh for clean install. Is that doable?

If not, can someone point me to ODIN install instructions? Trying not to brick the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] furballi:
Use ADB to restore all the apps that you've removed.

cmd package install-existing, plus add the com.xxx app

You can restore to the latest OEM configuration by holding the UP BUTTON AND THE POWER BUTTON at the same time during boot. Release them when you see the green KNOX logo.

I have reinstalled all packages, some error out. Just trying to start again from a clean install.

I think a clean install will be the best place to start.. Any other way to make that happen?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] furballi:
UP+ Power and release when you see knox/green android. Wipe cache partition and reboot. Another option is to wipe data/factory reset...that would be equivalent to a clean install. All settings and apps that you installed will be wiped out...basically a clean install of the image file of the operating system.

I have an unlocked variant of the Pixel 2. I put a Verizon SIM in it, and because of that, OEM unlocking was grayed out. However, a factory reset allowed me to enable it in developer settings. But when I tried to go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader, it kept giving me the following:
