Pop on keyboard question ?
 

My sister just dropped a glass of pop on my Dad's keyboard, what is the best way to clean it. It's acting funky........ the up / down keys are jumping and the pc is making noise.

Any help here, just try'n to help her before he gets home.

When did they start callin Babygravy "pop" in Kentucky?


In a brilliant move, in effort to keep RoyII from finding out that III spilled on his keyboard, showing innovation and an exemplary strategy employed by asking for the advice in a spot, he'll NEVER see it, I hearby nominate III for the Planet's Darwin of the Week award.

Love it strong.

Its fucked. Go get a new one for $10.

Dip it in a full bathtub, WHILE it's still plugged in...that part is really important...plugged in to the computer, with the computer "on." ;)

Indeed.

Oh shit, you are right. Tell me how to fix it, I'll delete this thread.

I didn't do it, my sister did, I'm trying to help here out, he is going to be pissed.

Just to be safe, submerge the entire PC. And your head, too.

Joking. He is a joker.

Come on guys, it's his office pc, the server.

Get a new keyboard.

The bump 'n grind got nasty and you knocked over the beverage while you were knockin' boots? :hmmm:

you correct that problem easily......

What you do is go into DOS mode, and type "Format C:"

What part of "it's fucked" didn't you get? You can't fix it. He will be pissed. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

Stop scratching your balls at the PC? :shrug:

Put it in the dishwasher on the lowest setting with no soap. Be sure heated dry is off and you let it dry out completly before pluging it back in.

Or just pay the $10 and get a new one.

Done that also..........go buy a new keyboard, that is all you can do!

Seriously the best thing to do is replace it. 10 to 15 dollars will buy a replacement. Pop and keyboards are a lethal mixture.

If you must attempt to clean it, unplug it, rinse with water, dump/shake it out thoroughly. Poor rubbing alcohol in it (rubbing alcohol is a drying agent for water). Shake it around thoroughly and then dump it out. You must let the keyboard dry out for a minimum of 24 hours then you can plug it back in and attempt to use it.

Next time, aim a little more carefull into that Tubesock.

...and its kind of gross if your sister was holding it and flinched, thereby ruining the keyboard with IIIchowder.

Here's what I reccomend for cheap keyboards...I love this keyboard:

Sounds more like the applying Peanut Butter to his testicles kinda problem...

Oh shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I wonder what was the punishment was.

Hope he didn't use chunky...

Sounds like
IIIdognight won't be romancing any ladies online for a week or two, as big papa is gonna ground his ass.

Shit, peanut butter, pop, and your sister.... :hmmm:

Stop freaking out. This is nothing.

Light the room on fire. When your dad comes home he wont even notice the sticky keyboard.

What are the chances of 100 replies to this thread? ROFL

I didn't do it....... my sister did, she will admit to it. She's 28, not like he is going to whip her ass for it.

Slim, I will probally delete it in a bit.

hmmm 28, ass, and whip. Sounds entertaining.

Well, hell, if you feel like that your sister wants to make it up, you might as well go for those nice keyboards that you can find at a local wal-mart or a computer shop.

ROFL but seriously this is Roy III you are telling this to, you might be held as an accessory to arson.:eek:

:shake: not unless you suddenly became a moderator you won't.ROFL

You guys are from Kentucky, he might....and she might enjoy it...heh. :p

I can do the time. I am hardcore like that. PBJ

I'll bet you a new ps2 you won't delete it.

Uh. First. Take the keys off.

They sometimes take a little 'forcing.' I usually use a flathead screwdriver. Once the keys are off, it's ok to soak in water. Get the water extremely hot though, so it dilutes the sugar (other wise you'll just be getting it wet and the sugar won't come off).

Don't let it sit for too long though, or the motherboard will get soaked. As soon as you take it out, you need to dry it off immediately (but not just the outside. It's the motherboard that you need to get dry). It's best to use the oven (but not directly on the oven rack) a pizza stone or anything else that is non-sticky will do fine. Put in at 350 for no more than 5 minutes.

If you don't have a non-stick sheet or pizza stone, you can use the microwave, but you can't put it in for that long (duh) or it will melt. Two or three rounds of 1 minute a piece should get it nice and dry.

Now you just put the keys back on (kind of time consuming). Also, you can clean the keys while they are off by soaking them in a mixture of bleach and regular laundry soap. Just mix that up in the sink while you running the hot water over your keyboard...


Good luck, and PM me if you have any questions.

Why can't I delete this thread ?

Mod's ?

Bet him $10. I understand that's what a replacement keyboard goes for. :D

You were banned from deleting any threads.

Chill Jr. Dad won't be pissed...........it has happened to most of us. Just fess up and hand him $15.00 dollars. Easy...:D

Psssst.....that function hasn't been available to regular posters for a long time now....heh. Just mods....heh.

Holy shit....


Guess whos back...
Back again...

It's Packfan! How's it goin man? Long time no see.

I didn't do it, Missy did .

Uh I have my doubts about your microwave advise and your 350 degrees for 5 minutes, usually their is an extremely thin sheathing plactic layer in cheap keyboards that will melt and that would become brittle if microwaved. If it is a really top notch keyboard with solid state devices in it the microwave will fry the PNP or NPN gates in them.

Then it's her problem. Let her deal with it.

She's gonna blame you; who do you think Dad is gonna believe....? :hmmm:

This is not Ken but I will let you figure out which regular's alter ego it is.

OK, he has mentioned he wanted a wireless keyboard and mouse....... he's going to get one now.

I'm sorry Roy but I think she might have to kill you. You simply know too much.

Car washes usually work real good for something like this; be sure to use the "non-spot rinse" cycle after you've lathered the puppy up really good....

ROFL ROFL ROFL

No chit! ROFL

She will admit it.
He's had a rough day to start with, I beaned him today at the golf course, right in the leg. Good thing it was the last hole, bad part it was his bad knee.

LOL I told you in post 36 but you did not pay attention. I am betting you have no hope for mercy either.ROFL

Going wireless? I also reccomend logitech's setup:

You know, I can picture that in my mind....heh.

I've heard that the acids contained in piss will immediately eliminate soda pop in keyboards. Take the keyboard to the bathroom and piss on it.....Better yet, female pee has more acid so have your sister pee on it and take some pictures.




:)

Tell your dad that wireless keyboard or mouse has a disturbing tendency to cause Windows to reset when the batterys go dead and need recharging. If you are in the middle of working on a file that you have not saved recently this can have a disturbing loss of work.

I second that. Of course, what Logical has stated is true. I would just go with a optical mouse, along with a nice keyboard, since the optical mouse wouldn't really need major cleaning, compared to a rolling ball mouse.

Oh, and if you are going to get a keyboard, make sure the damned thing is water/pop proof, mmmmk?

Hahaha, this thread is awesome. Iowanian's posts are hilarious.

Vlad, how do you know who the fake Packfan is? Are you guessing or do you know? I'm pretty sure I know who that is, about 99%.

Dishwasher no soap. Really, they reccomend this, no joke.

Seriously? Did it just now trigger in your mind that dad might see this?

Holy shit.

If I hadn't met you with my own two eyes, I would seriously think the Roys was an elaborate hoax being played on us from afar.

One of the new MX mice from Logitech has a charging pod, so you can charge that bitch up when you're sleeping, or whatever. Quite handy.

I have often considered this.

I know because he admitted it a few days ago. He did so to call someone a dumbshit, that might give you a clue.

Oh Christ. I knew he was a slow learner, but shit - is he EVER going to learn not to golf with you? I learned it the first time.

That is a good idea. Mine had a charger for the batteries and two sets of batteries but I somehow always waited to long before swapping them.

Spill proof, baby!

Uh hmmm ...... Dad here......... Just to let ya in on a little secret.

This whole thread is a hoax. Got ya all......... ROFL :D

Can you imagine the sheer magnitude II has had in his life........I mean, building pinewood derby cars and Birdhouses with III and Powertools in the same room, and still having most of his Phingers.


Something tells me, that if III were playing Golf on the PC, THAT would overtake mah claim to the "keyboard of doooooom" as he would be banned for hitting CyberTiger with a pitching wedge...

Hahaha, this might have worked in 2nd grade. Might have.

But it was fun for a few laughs ! :D

I still say light the room on fire!

Damn straight. I would not even get a water/pop near my keyboard unless I actually have the spill proof keyboard. It's a shame that some folks go out and buy some 30-40 dollars worth of a wireless/high-tech keyboards, and can't spare a few more dollars just to get it spill proofed.

OK Dad.

What is a gspot refering to?

Well, at the very least maybe someone got some links to quality products.

LMFAO!
