Including anything located below the old rubber parts, the goo will drip. For example if the printer roller in an HP9810 or HP9820 turns to goo then it will have dripped onto the main backplane and maybe got into the edge connector for the keyboard cable. I find an initial cleaning with WD40 Contact Cleaner (this is not the anti-rust stuff, it's a totally different product from the same company) and then cleaning with propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) gets most of it off.If the goo gets on your hands, stop and wash them thoroughly. This is not because the goo is particularly harmful, but rather because if it's on your hands you'll transfer it to anything you touch -tony
