Toshiba keyboard prob

message This is unknown. All I know is that with the original keyboard connected in,
nothing works (including an external keyboard), but with it extracted the
external is okay. The original when installed behaves erratically. like some
keys are stuck down ( i presume the coffee has shorted some of the paths on
the board.

So you are saying this sort of thing permanently damages the keyboard, if
the system has been power on with liquid in the keyboard ?

Thanks.

It's been suggested I try soaking it in clean water for a while and let it
dry for a week. I might give that a go first............... But I suspect
you are right

Don't soak it in some cleaning agent. Get a cleaner which won't attack
plastic or colour. Then get a earstick (the ones with cotton arround it),
dip it in the lotion and clean it with this. But if your keyboard if f*****
then this won't help and you need to buy a new keyboard from the
manifacture.

Head up :-)

It will be difficult to do this as the coffee appears to have seeped in
between the membrane and the metal backing plate which is permanently fixed
to the keyboard by paltic tags. the only way to clean it appears to allow
some cleaning agent in the same way the coffee went.
