Starbucks and the keyboard... The other day, I accidentally knocked over a Starbucks coffee drink onto my keyboard. If you know Starbucks it's a heavily sweetened product with all things like milk, milk by-products and ingredients I cannot pronounce. I flipped the keyboard over and tapped it until it stopped dripping. After wiping up the mess ( I keep tissues close by my computer) I turned the computer off and sprayed the keyboard with glass cleaner and wiped the spaces between the keys. Everything appeared good and I continued working for an hour or so. The next morning I came to work and started replying to an e-mail when the hit a period, the key stayed down and started filling the letter with ...................................................... I have to open a paperclip as a tool to pull the key up. Two other keys were also stuck with coffee residue. It's a good thing I have spare parts with me and connected another keyboard to continue working. I have the other keyboard at home now and I haven't decided what to do next. I suppose, I'll pull off the key caps of the sticky keys and use some window cleaner and cotton swabs to see if I can get it going again. I purchased this keyboard three weeks ago from a closeout and no more are in stock now. |
