Forums → The Tavern → wet keyboard

pull keys off (If they snap back on unlike my laptop) and dry. Then snap back on.

if you can get your keyboard wey you can get it dry no matter what it takes. try the blowtorch or try to find the cow that gave the milk. or for the really dareing buy a new keyboard

Oh, if you want the russian way, take apart the keys and sterilize it by dipping it in vodka (no racial).

And I love how a thread like this suddenly makes the mods appear all at once :P

Uh huh, I'm SUUURE that's what it was.

I took apart the keyboard and dried the circuit boards with tissue. (circuit board- electrical components on plastic film. Now, esc, z, x, c, v, and both control keys do not work.

Your keyboard is now screwed. If you spill water on it it is dead. I have done this before. You have to get another keyboard.

Light it on fire, It will get the water out.

Hit it with a vacuum, it will suck the water right out. :]

this will happen if it stay wet

Lol, greatest pic of all time right there. LOL

this will happen if it stay wet

Really. Just wipe it.

Or buy a new one, becuase with what you just did, its dead.

If it is still not working DON"T BUY A NEW ONE YET!!
You can still fix this one using some everyday materials,
but you will probably need to buy some silver based thermal paste.
1) Take off all of the keys and wipe the circuit board down with a tissue.
2) Use a hairdrier to warm the board up.
3) Put the thermal paste on everything shiny. Really glob it on. You might need to use 3, maybe 4 tubes.
4) Wrap the entire board with tin foil. Do not use aluminum foil! It will destroy your keyboard. If you have lead foil, it works even better.
5) Place all of this in the microwave. If it doesn't fit, just bend it a little or remove the microwave's door. Microwave on high for six minutes.
6) Enjoy your "keyboard burrito".

Buy a new one cheapo.
Or the one they gave you unless that was the one.
