Claudiu,

The VA touch screen can be cleaned with ethanol, but don't let it seep in the upper fume or lower glass.

Clean the rest of the board with a slightly damp cloth. If extra dirty, use a mild detergent, but make sure to wipe with a clean, dry cloth afterwards.

Don't get the zip near direct sunlight, high temperature, moisture or magnetic fields. Don't use any cleaners, just a dry cloth.

OK, now that I answered you, YOU MUST tell me about your song posted. I'm dying to know.

ethanol messes up everything - so you're around here - i want to use something for brightness...some sort of oil..so it will spark in the beautiful lights of a gig

Thank ya !

Windex and a soft cloth..

what about oil.. ? when i'm on the stage and people look at my keyboard, they see the part with " VA76 |----------| Roland " that, i want it bright and like a wood desk...i'd buy some wood spray ..i'll try windex...but isn't the stuff written in white going to waste away after 100 "washings" ?

I personally wouldn't use Windex on any keyboard.

Squeak

what would you use ???????????????

The only safe product I know of is Endust For Electronics. It is an anti-static cleaning and dusting spray that safely cleans PC's VCR's, TV's and LCD touch screens. Spray the product on a micro-fiber cloth and wipe the surfaces clean. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL, ETHANOL OR ANY OTHER FORM OF SOLVENT ON PLASTIC PRODUCTS! DO NOT USE OIL, EVEN SILICONE OIL!

Windex is fairly safe for everything, including the touch screen, but again, do not spray it directly on the keyboard's surfaces. spray it lightly on a soft cloth.

Before doing any of this, purchase a container of canned air, the same product photographers use in the dark room to blow dust from negatives. This is also useful for blowing dirt and dust from beneath switches, keyboard keys and out of speaker grills. Follow the directions on the can and you'll be safe.

Good Luck,

Gary

A damp soft cloth can work wonders. I am a lazy SOB, so I clean the keyb maybe once a year, and I smoke like a chimney.
A damp cloth, with a little patience, can do everything.
Oil is for food or for your car. Not for your keyboard.

Can i find it at Wal-Mart ?
