Spilling Coffee on your Keyboard and how to fix it
Ever spilled your coffee on your keyboard? lol...Normally I am very careful but this time instead of putting the cup on the right in its special spot, I absentmindedly put it in front of me and boom! I knocked the entire cup over. I hurriedly turned the board over and drained it off and dried it. Then the keyes started to stick (milk in coffee). I then poured alcohol all over it while holding the board at a slant (oh, unplug it first lol), then proceeded to dry it off the best way I could. I left it to dry. I plugged it in and any key I touched, it would do something crazy to the computer lol. I took it apart and found some wet spots and dried those, put it all back and it still did crazy stuff.
So, I just sat there, deciding to go buy a new board. Then my noggin kicked in, it decided that the keys should be programmed. sooooo I hit asdfghjkl" and the letters came out fine (I was doing it in word) then I did the next row and so on and by gingo! the board is fixed lol. |

Wow, who would have thought of programming your keyboard? Not me!

You don't look like someone's grandkid to me. How DID you figure that out? When I have anything computer related go wrong, I have to call a grandkid to come help me get it back to where it belongs. And sometimes that kid is only about 6......

Love it...you are my kind of gramma...(I fix my GK's computers)

Crumbs, I have spilled crumbs. I keep a make up brush very near. Like a mini broom. I turn it upside down and take the brush to it. Rap the back a little. My keyboard slides under the desktop. Coffee sits on top. I slide the keyboard back under when not using it.
