AlanHo Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 One of my keys was not working properly so I turned the keyboard upside down and gave it a jolly good shaking.I could hardly believe the debris that fell out onto the desk.Try it yourself - I dare you.

djohn Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'm not advising anyone to do the same but last year I spilt coffee all over my keyboard, it was only a cheap one so I thought I had nothing to lose by trying the following. If it failed I would buy a new one, I did buy a new one anyway, nice Microsoft one and kept the first one for emergency's. Anyhow this is what I did.I took the keyboard and immersed it in a bowl of warm soapy water, gave it a good scrubbing with a soft brush and rinsed well then placed it upside down in the airing cupboard for two days. Worked and looked just like new. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 If you can do without your keyboard for two days....That invalidates any warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4\/!d Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I heard that someone could not depress the space bar, and called in the help desk folk. They found the usuall debris of sandwich leftovers, and so on. They also found the cause of the problem - a nest of maggots feeding on the debris of food. They had got under the keys in such quantity that the keys could not be depressed. :jawdrop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Get the Dyson on it......I do :DI just hoover mine out.... gets rid of the dog hair that accumulates and the toast crumb's!Our vacuum cleaner is neither a Dyson nor a Hoover.It would be cheaper to buy a new keyboard than one of those.
