Is my keyboard a goner?

gjam52

A drink was spilled over my keyboard, I left it upside down and dried it out as thoroughly as I could. But some keys now type numbers rather than letters. I have taken Kboard apart, no sign of damp, but still not workin5. Is t6ere anyt6in5 else I can do to 5et it workin5? It is Creative cordless.

Checked / changed the batteries?

I did the same to a TV remote control. I took it to bits and let it dry out. One of batteries was flat. It did not work after an hour of drying but after 24 hours of drying it is fine. If this remote fails I have to buy a new set top box due to its age . If my keyboard fails I'll get another £3 job out of the box bought from 7he 1ast 71me I wa2 in 7hi5 S17ua7i0n.

Remove all the keys, and take the batteries out. Leave it in the airing cupboard for a good 4 or 5 days. Stick batteries back in, keys back on, and you should be off.

Works for standard keyboards. However a wireless one is gonna have a lot of electronics... guess it depends how badly those are damaged.

Have you considered bunging it in the dishwasher?
