Title: broken keyboard
Post by: Cody on February 08, 2008, 08:34:25 PM: Is there anyway to fix a keyboard thats had soda spilled on it. I mean it still works but when you type like 90% of the letters it puts another letter beside it. Like:

[10:21:03 PM] Cody: abcdee'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'7

and underscore even shuts my computer down.
So any "gheddo" fixes for this? My brother said try to keep it upside down overnight so im trying that, but i doubt it will work, so any ideas?

That sucks bro, but your brother's idea doesn't sound too bad... stuff like that can work occasionally. Give it a shot, I don't know any other ways.

All of a sudden my keyboard just started acting weird, the "g" wouldn't work and it would type in a "!" instead or other keys. Then one by one they all started to mess up until my keyboard became totally useless. I'm sorry but the only way you can fix this problem is by buying a new keyboard. They're not that expensive, a decent usb plug-in keyboard will cost around $30 USD, I suppose.

Post by: Aeneon on February 09, 2008, 11:25:17 AM: Take the keys off and leave it upside down.

Post by: Cody on February 09, 2008, 05:15:56 PM: The overnight thing worked, but the keys were sticky so I washed them out and waited an hour or so until it was dryed then it was good as new, except I broke the audio knob while doing it. BUT DON'T WORRY! AS I ALWAYS SAY, WHERE THERES A REDNECK, THERES A WAY!

Post by: Flat Face on February 09, 2008, 05:55:18 PM: ghetto aye, try shooing at it, spitting on it, swearing and yelling at it, raping it, throwing it at a wall, sneaking up behind it and hitting it with a bat, setting fire to it, taking its family hostage, killing its dog and mailing pieces of it to it or the good old take it apart and cleaning everywhere thats all sticky.

btw BS it was soda o.o
