milk spilt on keyboard :(

#1 Post by waspfish » Sat May 14, 2005 1:52 pm

Help!!! I have the luck of spilling milk on my keyboard. I dug up the keys to clean the underneath, but a few keys were broken in the process. What should i do to do a more thorough clean up, and replace those few keys? Any tips you may have on cleaning this mess up will help greatly! :(

Hmm I wonder how much a new keyboard would be.

Actually...

You should have just let it air dry...there is no need to clean the keyboard if u spill stuff. Just let it try...

The T-series is designed with the thought that there are some people who will end up spilling things on it... :wink:

I believe that a new keyboard is about $45 from IBM spare parts.
Apathy is on the rise, but nobody seems to care.

Call up IBM, and tell them your keyboard broke. Maybe leave out why it broke. They may overnight you a new one. It worked for me. 2 days later. On my doorstep.

But I do believe they are around 30-45 for a new one.
