Help on keyboard

[jing]

a few days ago i spilt soup on my keyboard and now its really sticky, and whenever i press a key, the key would come back up slowly. I tried taking each key out and cleaning it with water, but its still sticky, anyone got a better solution? help would be greatly needed.

Yeah you would probably have to get a new one. They're not that expensive. You could get a decent one for like 20 bucks.


Since we're on the topic some weird things have been happening to my keyboard too. For some reason whenever i watch something on my computer (ie. anime) my keyboard gets messed up and all the keys get jumbled. When i type a J it comes up as a 1, when i type a 0 it comes up as / etc...
Anyone know whats wrong?

What ever you do, do not wash your keyboard with hot or warm water. You can learn a lot from this guy. http://www.winglitch.com/hardware/keyboard_washing.htm

Thanks hiroshi. I think i fixed it. I guess i just had multiple keyboard languages installed. I don't know if thats possible but thats what it seemed like.

[hiroshi]

Ahh, cool. But is that seriously ok anyway? I mean, just look at the keyboard without it's panel. O_o;;

You can clearly see a circuit board, and i'm pretty sure that regardless of the temperature the water will eventually screw that circuit board up one way or another. I think i shall stick to using an adhesive on the keyboard surface on a cloth, and water for the keys themselves thanks =P

well i can suggest something but its probably to late(probably soaked into the board so its too late)

if something like soda ever spills onto your key board , unplug it as fast as you can and put it under a sink with clean water cleaning the soda out, let it sit for like a week to ensure that its dry (the water is better than soda and shouldnt hurt)

this must be done immediatly to work

i have seen this done

that was damn sad. Poor guy messing up his keyboard. Almost as funny as the guy who melted his processor.
