its been for about an hour ow is it still ok?

3/15/2009 10:05:47 PM

haha i dunno. but in general you wanna turn electronics off asap when you spill stuff on them. i dunno for sure if it'll work in a few days, but to maximize your chances of it working, you wanna let it dry out for a few days

3/15/2009 10:07:02 PM

Bake it in the oven at a low temp, like 100-150deg, for half an hour or so. That will take care of the residual liquid from most spills.

depending on your oven, i'd advise against 150°F...from personal experience

dishwasher ftw!

actually serious here, you can stick most keyboards in the dishwasher to clean them, dry them out and they work fine.

3/16/2009 8:32:39 AM

plz to not stick the entire laptop in there

This is a desktop keyboard btw. What about using a hair dryer? I used it last night and I thought it was OK, then I was typing about 45 mins later I noticed letter missing, so I say that to say should I try to use it again? And fuck no I am not putting anything in an oven or dishwasher. It might work, or you could be joking, either way I will not engage.

desktop keyboard? oh, well, in that case, unless it's a $50+ awesomegonuts keyboard, go buy another one for $20

i might even have one you can have for free

It came with my HP elite, and I like it a lot, and has a lot of bells and whistles on it. I just bought the computer ab out 3 months ago, so I can probably get another one for free from HP. But in the meanwhile I'll take the one you have for free!
