I have a problem with an acer laptop from 2005. The plastic all around the keyboard has gotten sticky and it cant be affected by normal cleaning like IPA. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? I was considering trying some kind of abrasive to try get rid of the sticky layers but I was worried about causing even bigger mess and I would prefer being able to preserve the original stickers on the laptop. Bottom of the lap top is fine and lid and bezels around the screen are also fine. No idea what has caused only the plastic around the keyboard becoming like that. I have not used the laptop for years.
Any ideas what would be the best thing to do?
Edit: This picture might give you some idea of how sticky it is.
