Keyboard + Coffee = new one for ya!

[Maury]

So I spilled coffee on the keyboard. Not the first time won't be the last.

Comma key no longer works. Everything else is fine.

Almost. Now here it is. I cannot type capital letter eye with the left shift. The one you see at the start of the last sentence used right-shift.

But every other key works fine with left shift. Like O and U.

Can anyone think of ANY reason for this behaviour?!?!

Yes, the liquid damaged the circuitry and now your keyboard is broken. Time to buy a new one.

Bummer man

Yeah, probably should just worry about finding a replacement than why it's acting weird like you describe. liquids and electronics don't play well together and funny things happen when they do.

Too bad about the spilled coffee too.

OMG!

That's horrible!

You wasted a perfectly good cup of coffee!

The horror!



Sorry about the spill. I hope it doesn't turn into an expensive boo-boo.

My keyboard has the left-shift not working problem too. Makes me angry. Pressing it hard a few times seems to get it to work for a bit though.

I miss the good ol days when you could put a keyboard in the dishwasher, then let it dry for a day, then - New Keyboard!!

Good thing they're really cheap now.

Heck, I miss the days when the caps weren't easy to destroy when pulling them off!

You could always get one of these terrible things

Sorry about the spill, at least it was just a keyboard and not a motherboard

You really might want to at least try to make it the last time, since this could be an expensive repair.

Yes, liquids and electronics tend not to work well together.

That's horrible!

Trust Shrink to grieve over a lost cup of coffee; now if that was Liquid Amber from Sweet Maria's coffee emporium there would be a period of deep (and perhaps, public) mourning, I suspect.

I think the moral of the story is try to have your coffee next, nigh, or near your keyboard…..

Yes, things were made to last back then…..rugged and robust……resistant to sustained attempts at destruction…….

Heck, I miss the days when the caps weren't easy to destroy when pulling them off!

Yes, I can see why you might miss this……..all those incredibly sturdy metal typewriters clearly served as the model for such rugged design….

Now that's a keyboard that will withstand a spill!
