Too warm? Well, it depends how warm your airing cupboard is. But I would have thought it won't be too warm.mitch212k_2 wrote:
guys i took out all the affected keys and wiped the surface with a damp cloth - is an airing cupboard too warm to fry it or is it ok?
ty so far to the more inteligent of the posters so far
You just need to make sure it is absolutely dry before you connect it back up to your PC.
Why the hell would you put an electrical device in the sink.... Are you trying to commit suicide?
Or are you trying to waste your money?
Seriously this is one of the stupidest posts I've seen in a long time.

You not gonna die from dunking a keyboard into water. They run of 12v max, possibly 5v, most likely 3.3v and very low current. Even it was still connected you wouldn't kill yourself - just damage your PC.elite.mafia wrote:

Likewise, you only need to make sure it's absolutely dry to protect your PC, not yourself.
yes it is when you got battery's in it ......mitch212k_2 wrote:
heh cheers sarge, and also it's wireless so it's never plugged in
best thing you could have done would have been to remove battery fill sink with clean water (no soap) dunk k/board for about 5 minutes ,drain then leave in a warm place over night to dry .... you are then away smiling
all those that say water is bad has never been there done that

it is ok to run your keyboard through the dishwasher in most cases, as long as it dried COMPLETELY before you plug it in. If you plug it in while it is wet, it will short and ruin the board, so you should have waited a day or two for it to dry out inside.mitch212k_2 wrote:

People say if you put an electrical device in water, it's going to fry. This is true, so long as it has some power source. Even the tiniest power source will usually do. This is because the minerals in the water conduct the electricity, so the paths are converted and it shorts itself out. You would get the same results from throwing a quarter on a circuit board.elite.mafia wrote:

So, so long as the electrical device is OFF, you can go swimming with it if you want. Now, you don't want to leave the water on there too long because the connections and solder will start to rust or oxidize, and that's not good.
What you probably did was dunk it in the water and not dry it properly. You should have taken it apart and wiped down the circuitry with a soft cloth, being careful not to tear it. Then you should have wiped off all the plastic and maybe used a hairdryer to make sure its COMPLETELY dry, and then put it back together and it will be fine.
However, once you fry it, that's it. If you could fix it, it would not be worth the effort involved. Buy a new keyboard and be more careful next time.
I poured a glass of whisky over my keyboard once. It sizzled quite badly.

You put your new keyboard inside until you learn to control your hand movements.
^bought that because the keyboard had died

Remove all the plastic key and covers. Take out the electronics. Put the plastics in a dishwasher and clean those. Gently clean the electronics.mitch212k_2 wrote:

Re-assemble and hope for the best!
Ew...a microsoft product.
I can confirm that. Just for the shits and giggles I put an old and dirt crusted P1 + mobo into the dishwasher (cold, no soap). Still works fineSargeV1.4 wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
