Spilled water on my keyboard. Then, like an idiot, I just kept on using it now the Backspace key and the right [ bracket doesn't work.

post your best solutions. am willing to try crazy-assed ones. entertain me. and since i might be entertained, this one won't be in tech talk. (everything there bores me)

in before "buy a new keyboard"

seriously, you can get keyboards on newegg for $4.

3/25/2008 5:07:09 PM

fuck that

hmm, lets try to figure out if there is a magic temperature range where water evaporates but plastic does not melt

if we can preheat an oven to this temperature, and place the keyboard inside, then we can remove all the water

disassemble and let air dry

3/25/2008 5:46:44 PM

Put sand in it to soak up the water.

just put it in your environmental test chamber and set it to zero humidity

keyboard on water?

3/25/2008 9:39:19 PM

go to kmart

i got the best feeling mouse and keyboard i've ever owned for less than $10 total my freshman year in college

3/25/2008 9:40:24 PM

i do this every few months. the keyboard is toast

3/25/2008 9:40:54 PM

psht ive spilled beer on mine and let it air out for a couple days and the malfunctioning keys began working again, it takes days to totally dry (and beer is much worse than water)

3/25/2008 9:45:23 PM

Might as well pour some soap on it and give it a wash

3/25/2008 10:12:16 PM

so when did james carville get into water boarding

3/25/2008 10:13:11 PM

can someone explain to me how water boarding is done?

also, try pouring rubbing alcohol into it and letting it evaporate

3/25/2008 10:16:53 PM

I looked it up online

it sounds like it sucks

3/25/2008 10:17:21 PM

Evaporation has a cooling effect, so that will make the water last longer.

3/25/2008 10:17:57 PM

^i'll put my keyboard in the oven to heat it up and evaporate all the water.

I might also use the microwave oven if things get awry. I will post pics.

3/25/2008 10:40:09 PM

a microwave is the last thing you'd want to put it in

3/25/2008 10:42:54 PM

actually, a trash can is the last thing i wanna put it in.

3/25/2008 10:48:54 PM

you'd rather put it in your ass than in the trashcan?

that's pretty gay

3/25/2008 11:04:15 PM
