Solve : Minor, physical, annoying problem in my keyboard! Help?? |
|
Answer» I spilled milk on my keyboard mildly... I tried tipping my keyboard upside down, and surprisingly, it drained a lot of it out. Eventually, my right CTRL key became stuck, so I removed it, and some surrounding keys, and eventually got it working fine again... I am very picky. While putting my right SHIFT key back in, after noticing there's a little metal rod that's shaped like a staple, and in fact TWO rubber "buttons" because the shift key is horizontally longer than a normal key... Ever since I took it out, I don't think I really know HOW to put it back in... It just NEVER seemed to be working right. Currently, the problem is I have to hit the RIGHT side of the shift key in order for it to register... the right button underneath it. I feel like a noob, but oh well! I don't think the shift key is pressing down as "one", basically. It will only hit one button underneath it if I press too far to the left... they shouldn't do that. Ditto Karnac. Keyboards are cheap and it's not worth the pain, especially if you are that picky I just thought I was putting it back on wrong... the shift key isn't even affected by milk. This may steer you straight. http://www.ehow.com/how_2060940_fix-keyboard-key.htmlQuote from: Karnac on May 03, 2009, 08:15:00 PM This may steer you straight. Thank you! I will go ahead and try it sometime... and post a reply again if it doesn't seem to get the job done. Or I'll just get a new keyboard... don't really wanna dish out money I don't have to, though, over something small and minor.Take the keyboard into the shower and rinse it out with hot water. Give it a couple of days to dry out. You should look into using this kind of keyboard if you have issues with liquid substances For any keys that are bad, just use the on screen keyboard and your mouse. Kind of like text messaging. http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/oskturnonuse.aspx |
