Cunning Runt Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Ok, so my 5 yr old spilled just a little bit of Pepsi on my laptop keyboard - not much at all, really just a tad bit. But now the keyboard doesn't work at all. I'm using a separate keyboard connected via USB. What's involved in getting the keyboard working again?

Cunning Runt Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Specifics vary widely but here is one from Dell: I'll look it over. Thanks. I did open the link and it started with "replacement". I was hoping there was a way to just clean it somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were a little water, you'd have more hope for it just drying out. I'll defer to those that know more, but I think I'm right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyboard is toast. It is a pretty simple replacement if you can work a screwdriver though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
