Beer on the Keyboard

F*ck, spilled a beer on the keyboard. Tried to soak up most of it, but WTF. Still working I reckon.

Lol!!!!

Lucky, two years ago I spilled Sprite on mine and my 'L' key wasn't working. I unscrewed it and tried getting whatever wet that may have been there out, but then when I put it back together the 5 or so keys surrounding it didn't work. I then just called up the company that makes my PC and said it broke and got a free replacement

Well, mine's still hanging in there... obviously. Although I got a backup in the closet. I buy stuff all the time like keyboards where you send in a rebate and get them free, so I've got mouses and keyboards and tons of f*cking CD-RWs on hand that cost me sales tax and postage for mailing in the rebates. Hmmm, don't need to pull out a backup yet. Keyboard might've needed a drink! Lol!!!

I had this experience with a can of Amp.

The keyboard worked fine for a few days after i let it dry out. About 6 days later. the 2,w,s,x, and space bar keys quit working. I reccomend pulling the spare one out, at least for a bit, and removing several keys around the area (possibly all the keys), and letting the keyboard rest upside down for awhile. If you have a dehumidifier put it behind that.

Then again, if youve got a spare keyboard, who cares if this one dies?

About a quarter to a half beer at least, pretty good dousing. Waste of good alchol at that! Oh well, sh*t happens I reckon. These friggin computers; can't live with them and can't live without them as well. I've got some hardware backup because I'm running 4 computers online here at the house. Something always goes wrong somewhere.

I've spilt water, coffee, and soda on different keyboards at random different times. I've just unplugged them and let them dry out, and they've always been fine.

Me too, but it normally pisses you off when it happens.

oh my keyboard gets beer all the time. Just turn it upside down, shake it for a bit and you'll be fine. Except that the ctrl key sometimes keeps down when I hit it.
