|
On the fourth before I left out of town, I was on here and the keyboard started acting funny. Well I went to reboot and just happened to pick up the key board to find a pen, and as I turned the keyboard over, tons of water came pouring out!!  It spilled out onto my pants but I would say it was about a half a cup of water if not a little more. I know I didnt spill anything here and RObs been out so I have to think it was Tony our roommate, tho he says it wasnt him..... Stupid ghost  .
Well, I took it apart to let it dry out and then had to leave to go out of town. When I got back yesterday, I put it back together but it didnt work. No gardenstew for me! I could only look.
Well, this morning, I tried it just to see and its working but the buttons feel like sponges. They dont feel right.
Will this pass? Or should I jsut junk the old thing and get a new one? Will there be unseen problems because of the amount of water that was in the keyboard?

Pinkie, I think it will pass. I've heard that if you spill something sugary like coffee with sugar into a keyboard it will destroy it. I think water may not write it off

Tell me about it Pinkie. My laptop is literally falling apart but I will not replace it until I really need to. The screen goes totally white if I move it back to far, the power button is missing, it gets hotter than the sun. But I'm attached to it. What's a gnome to do!

If a "ghost" does happen to finish the job, you should check out newegg.com for a new piece of equipment. There's a keyboard for all price ranges.
If you like the normal keyboards, check out the comfy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823109156
If you like ergonomic keyboards, check out MS Ergo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823109161
If you haven't tried out an ergonomic keyboard before and you type a lot, I highly recommend you spend at least a couple of weeks with one to see if you like it. 2 weeks because it takes a while to get used to the more spread out feeling that they keyboard has.
