I am deadly to keyboards. This one I almost killed by spilling oatmeal all over it. Last night, I managed to spill hot green tea all over my Dell keyboard. I had taken down the dry Christmas Tree and was trying to haul it's corpse out to the backyard. I thought I was lifting it high enough to avoid everything. Alas, I was wrong. I felt like something out of Laurel and Hardy as I walked towards the back door, hitting everything in site. I thought the Dell keyboard may have squeaked by. But, as I used it last night, I noticed that the space bar quit working. Then, this morning, the "w", "a" and "y" keys were not working. I am now typing this on our old dinosaur computer in the living room. I took my keyboard apart and washed the key pad part, along with the rubber cover, directly under it. I have the part, with the all important electronic parts drying out in the open air. I hope that it does the trick.
