Coffee On Your Keyboard?
|
|
Try this only after you have decided to replace the keyboard anyway. |
If you dump a cup of coffee on your keyboard and it looks like it is finished, you could try a last ditch effort to try and revive it. Go down to your local drug store and get a bottle of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.
Unplug your keyboard from the computer and take it outside.
Dump the whole bottle of alcohol over the keys and swish it around. Then dump it out and shake the keyboard until most of the liquid is gone.
Let the keyboard dry overnight before you plug it in to see if it works.
The alcohol evaporates and doesn't leave anything behind and so it shouldn't hurt any of the components and it should clean out any coffee left in the keyboard.
