Pop on keyboard question ? - Page 5

royr17 · 07-06-2005, 09:31 PM

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.

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%.

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

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.

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

This whole thread is a hoax. Got ya all.........

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...
