nightwolf Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) I split hot chocolate on the right hand side of my keyboard a minute a go, tried cleaning it everything was fine, but I think because I forgot to turn my keyboard off my LEFT hand side of the keyboard is doing things like this: a = as s = as CAPS = caps and tabs q = qw w = qw 1 = 12 help! I think I've pressed something somewhere as my google chrome also looks quite flat and different. Any ideas anyone?!

Will Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd leave the keyboard for a bit to dry out, disconnect everything and then set everything back up. If that doesn't do the trick you'll have to get yourself a new keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 I can understand that, but what I don't understand is why the side that hasn't been touched by liquid is the one that's not working, where the side that did get hot chocolate spilt all over it is fine..?

MadDog Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 My mum spilt coffee over my Logitech G15 keyboard Even after drying it out, it still wouldn't work. Then again, my keys didn't work at all, yours at least still do something, so maybe it's fixable. In which case, i'd say do what will' said.

It's just going to be my luck to have to buy something when I don't have any money. :p Yes it's already set to dry out before I wrote this thread, I just want to find out why the hell the side it was split on is fine. You'd think these things would be the other way round. Plus my chrome looks different so I'm not sure what I've done to that either.. I suppose now this gives me a good reason to make a new thread..I did need a new keyboard anyway (it's 2 and a half years old and buttons are starting to go.) TO THE NEW THREAD...WHEEE.

MadDog Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Actually I've just realised my Chrome is different. Is yours like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 No, it's not, mine it's just the buttons such as home used to stand out, now they are flat and orange, although that's probably a setting I hit whilst trying to clean it before setting it to dry. I'm going to admit defeat anyway, I tried using the keyboard with my laptop to see if there was another issue and it seems its the keyboard - luckily it gives me a reason to buy a new keyboard and mouse - hence the new thread.

Shorty Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The liquid has shorted some circuits, doesn't matter which part of the keyboard was spilt on as most of the electronics for the keyboard will be in one place. Leave it to dry for a day or two, upside down or tilted if poss. if you have a hairdryer with a cold setting it might speed up the process (don't blast it on hot though).
