I have found it nearly impossible to clean my new MacBook Air due to it turning on whenever any key on the keyboard or the trackpad is pressed. How are you to clean the keyboard when doing so turns the computer on and then all keys are pressed?
Any suggestions on how to turn this feature off? And how to give your keyboard a good clean?
