This has happened to me before and my keyboard stopped working properly; several of my keys no longer functioned. I was forced to purchase a brand new one. The second time around, I wanted to be prepared for the unexpected. I bought a waterproof keyboard and it was the best thing I could of done. Its great not to have to worry about where on my desk I place my drink. I have suggested this to all my friends as well.
You spilled junk on your keyboard.
You can clean the spill off, but it is likely that the keyboard is ruined and you will have to replace it.
Yes, by avoiding having liquid near the keyboard, and having quick reaction time if liquid is spilled.
Simply replace the keyboard. You can try to save the keyboard by thoroughly rinsing it in running water and letting dry for two days. (addition from Kimberly) I don't know if soaking it in water is the best idea, however you can use contact cleaner to clean the key wells and I've used cleaning wipes on the outer part of the keyboard when I spilled liquid on mine
1000 pounds
its either because you havnt got the latest flash or you spilled spmthing on it
turn your keyboard upside down to drain liquid off. Then use a danp cloth to clean surface.
Each laptop allow to remove its keyboard, go through the manual how to, remove the keyboard. Usually each key can be removed too, make sure that you know how to... Remove each key and clean with clean water, dry it before installation. Clean the keyboard body with slightly wet tissue, dry before installation.
You can try. Depending on the type of computer, it may or may not be ok. If it is a computer with an external keyboard, the keyboard can just be replaced (or possibly even just dried).
im guessing no because i spilled root beer on mine and it only started working after it dried but some keys dont work
TUrn off your computer , take out the battery , and unplug it . Try to clean out as much of the coke as you can. Leave the keyboard upside down if you have just a keyboard . But if you have a laptop turn it upside down with the screen open and put it in a position so that it looks like a triangle / pyramid.SO THE COKE WILL DRIAN OUT AND EVAPORATE EASIER) LET IT SIT LIKE THIS OVER NIGHT!! Just to let you know i spilled soda on my keyboard recently and did what i just told you and my computer still works perfectly but my keyboard is a little sticky but its wearing off so no big deal , anyways good luck: )
It really depends how much and where. If it is a average size cup, and you spill it on your keyboard, it should be fine just clean it and let dry. If you spill it and it gets inside your case, and comes in contact with the power supply or your motherboard; it could cause a short and render your p.c. useless.
