Also, you're right about "no liquids," but the main idea behind that is to not allow liquids to seep into the computer itself. Try using a paper towel with some windex on it -- but not enough to drip or squeeze into the computer while you are cleaning it. I use Windex wipes to clean my computer and have never had any functionality problems. If you think you may have gotten something into the computer, leave it open overnight so that it's completely dry when you start it up again.
