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... 😳🙂😀

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 s ...[text shortened]... to get a connection established once my keyboard is totally dry?

Well, it is working again!
I took a few days to get it working again. The first two days is was not picking up the connection. But after drying for a few days, it now seems to work. Haven't tried all keys yet...
One of the given advice, to blow it dry with a heating system is something I have seen warnings again on several occasions. This is not what I tried, and deliberately did not do so. I do not know anymore excactly why it was bad, but it is always the best thing to let things dry out the natural way, so to speak.
It is a white Mac keyboard, so now I can use the oportunity to clean the thing a bit, now the keys are off to get the thing drying a bit better. The white key pads are not all that clean after two and a half years of use...
Thanks for the advices. And the laughter.
