I threw a whole cup of tea over my keyboard just this afternoon. It is a Bluetooth keyboard, so no wires. The indicator on the back still lights on, and indicates it is searching for the connection. So no real damage there,... yet. But my computer is having trouble actually making the connection and keeps saying the keyboard is not within reach, is not on and such.

The tea was without sugar or other additions, so that should not leave a layer on the circuits when dried, I guess? Any chance to get a connection established once my keyboard is totally dry?

(Feel free to laugh at me.)

Back in 1987, my cat pissed into my Star LC 24-200 dot-matrix printer. This event gave rise to green smoke from the machine in question. I guess these things happen to the best of us... 😳🙂😀

Leaving the keyboard, letters facing the ground, is probably a good idea whilst it dries (if you aren't already doing this).

I once put my keyboard in the microwave and ate it. Never worked again.









Alright, that's a lie.

Serves you right for drinking a pussy drink. If you drink a man's drink such as whiskey, it evaporates much faster.

Actually, if you spill whiskey on a keyboard it serves as an upgrade.

Spilling whiskey is alcohol abuse. 😞

That depends on what kind of whiskey. For some brands it would be considered a mercy killing...

You have probably already checked the batteries I suppose.

That is why I drink the cheap stuff, I owe it to society. 🙂
