water on the keyboard

[bluhayz]

So, in my drunken stupor last night.... I ended up spilling water on my keyboard... It was all because I couldn't hold the glass upright. So, I woke up this morning... and my keyboard is making this beeping noise whenever I push the keys in.

It's a wireless keyboard, so I'm wondering what you all think. I went out and bought a cheap walmert keyboard for 10 bucks and I'm just hoping that if I let my keyboard dry, it'll be fine. Just looking to see if this is a waste or not. Thanks.

spilled water......suuuuuuure.

haha, jp.

I spilled "coke" on my keyboard last year and had to buy a new one.

bong water maybe?

[JackoliciousLegs]

or he pissed on it.

[Myuki]

sounds like you shorted the keyboard, the beeps mean it's not reading it right......a new one may be in order

Ive done this many times.
Unplug it, shake all the water out, let it dry for a day or two (upside down), plug it back in and there is a good chance that it will work fine.

[bluhayz]

sweet, I'll try that... and it was just regular water... in a glass w/ ice.

Ice in your bong? Good call.

I read your kb is wireless.

It's probably fucked. If it were a wired keyboard, you could set it out to dry. Hell, I've washed my keyboard in the dishwasher.

BUt a wireless one? I have my doubts.

Hell, I've washed my keyboard in the dishwasher.

Does this work? Mine is so damn dirty.

Depends on the keyboard. At a place where I used to work (we processed used PC parts) we'd throw them in the dishwasher (after covering up the plug) and if they worked after coming out, we kept them. If they didn't, we took the keys off and threw them away.

IF your KB is really dirty, I'd do that. Take the keys off, put them in a cleaing solution.
