Bo--ocks !!

Just trashed my i Mac keyboard :steam:

Went to take some photos of my x overs , camera still attached to the download lead , behind a cup of coffee

You can work out the rest :eek:

dripping in gold blend and 4 keys knocked off :steam:

off to the Apple store

Bum Bum BUM :doh:

[walpurgis]

OOOH, nasty!

Can't you take it apart and clean it?

[Firebottle]

It might sound daft but wash the coffee off with clean water then dry the keyboard above a radiator.
If you've only just done it it will remove coffee residue and then there won't be time for any corrosion if it's dried smartish.
Good luck

Yep, i agree,
My mother put my fathers mobile phone in the washing machine by mistake once, it went through a full cycle, and when we got it out it was blank ie; Knackered, so we thought, but after drying it out, sure enough it came back on and was fully functioning! :)
Try it.
A...

Its working at the moment I left it upside down for a while on kitchen roll and gave it a goo shake , I think most of the gold blend went on the floor

Still got some keys I cant get to fit back on :doh:

I am stoopid

Reminder to self " Keep drinks away from keyboards " :)

Hi Al, Sorry to hear about your dilema. We've all done similar. Years ago I hankered for a really nice phone which I got. I was on holiday in Parma, wading in and out of the water with my daughter on my shoulders. I had swimming shorts on with pockets ................... Enough said !! :eek: Job done :rolleyes:

A few years ago I left my Erricson T18 phone on the windowsill above the sink while I was washing up. I'm an absent-minded sod at the best of times so obviously I forgot about it after finishing up and went into the living room without it to watch the 6 0'clock news. I was rudely reminded where I had left it by a 'buzz....buzz....PLOP!!! when a call came through a little while later. Hurrying into the kitchen knowing full well what had happened I arrived at the sink to see my phone languishing at the bottom of a water filled and sudsy washing up bowl and it was still ringing. I hoiked it out, turned it off, pulled it apart and left its constituent parts on the sunny window ledge to dry. Three hours later and all was well. Tough phone dat... :D

I've got about 20 "normal" keyboards here. Can send you one if you like?????

Oh no, it's not a PC!!!!!


Sent via tapatalk from my iPad cos my work iPhone is on charge and my personal iPhone is on the coffee table :D

[Effem]

I made my living from repairing PCs a few years ago and coffee in the keyboard was a regular call-out. :rolleyes:

All I ever did was chuck the whole thing into hot soapy water for about 20 minutes and then 24 hours on a radiator or into the airing cupboard :eyebrows: Didn't have a single one that didn't work afterwards, except one or two where they left it to dry with the coffee still in it and the sugar/milk/coffee had formed a crust that not much would ever shift it.

I also did that hot wash treatment to a video recorder years ago when a cat had piddled into it and despite a thorough soak the airing cupboard smelt very unpleasant for weeks afterwards :eek: But it did work again :lol:

Just don't be tempted to try it with beer :eyebrows: I swallowed a load of beer down my throat & it went lungwards one time, coughed the lot back up over my laptop keyboard & it has been stuffed ever since.

I even cleaned it with switch cleaning lube to no effect :(

Carlsberg: Probably the most corrosive lager in the world... :D

Appalling waste of beer!!

Hang your head in shame.

Mistreatment of booze is socially unacceptable.
