Re: Keyboard..broke

In the old days (puter wise) keyboards would fry when liquid was spilled on them. New ones are for the most part protected. Pop apart and clean. Air compressors and shop vacs come in handy!<br />LubeDude ewwwwwwwwwww ick <br />BTDT I keep peanuts on the desk to feed the squirrels when I'm home. Well one day I was home but not sitting here. Squirrel came in and jumped in my chair.. saw the peanuts on the desk.. sat on the keyboard while grabbing peanuts. I came around the corner and scared her! ewwwwwwww ick!<br />Not only had to clean the keyboard, but my chair and the floor! Back door is kept shut now except for when we want to feed them

LMAO at Link.<br />Darn things are cheap, but if you're cheaper and got some time to waste, you can disassemble and clean. Always fun to get all the keys back in the right slot!<br />.ouir eowt youre ti83 l489 tymns

Wash it out with WD-40, turn upside down and blow out with compressed air.

Re: Keyboard..broke

Your troubles come in batches don't they Ryan...<br /><br />Heres my Ideas, I would skip lubedude's plan. Take it outside and rinse off with the POWER WASHER. While your out there you can get the Greatstuff also. If this destroys the computer it can be replaced for less than a few hundred so therfore it is a non-issue.<br /><br />Poster in no way assumes liability for your actions, <br /><br />P.s. try and clean it, if it does not help keyboared are usually universal and not to expensive provided it is a desktop.

Re: Keyboard..broke

I took all the keys off last night and cleaned the and put it back together, still didn't work.<br /><br />I got a new one today, it cost $53.<br /><br />I miss the old one already and I haven't even typed much on it yet.<br /><br />My computer is a iMac, when the imacs first came the mouses and keyboads where all black. Since then they did away what that and they make them bright white, them thing is so bright white I think I'm gonna go blind

They didn't have any clear ones, or I would have taken it over the bright white.

Re: Keyboard..broke

I got an idea spill some coffee on it and it won't be bright white anymore.... I didn't say it was a GOOD idea.
