This is not the first "idiot" thing I've done this weekend.
I dumped a coke on my keyboard this morning. I used many of Miles' favorite --Radio edit--s. So.. I strip the thing down, pull the keyboard module, put it back together, and plug in an external keyboard I had stashed in the closet. The notebook works. I wiped the keyboard itself down. Is there anything I can use to clean it, and the printed circuitry on the reverse side of the keyboard? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
