I took out all of the keys to my keyboard to clean it. When cleaning it I used water. I put the keys back in plugged into my computer after it was mostly dried. The backspace button didn`t work then while trying to get it to work other buttons wouldn`t work. Now only cap locks works. I tried drying it more but I only got a and enrer to work. When plugging it into something only 1 green light the caps turns on. Then I opened it nd dried the plastic sheets itha hairdryer. Now most keys work but some use two keys such as jk when pessing k or don't work such as h. I am using an onscreen keyboard for  now and won't beable to get a  newkeyboard for dys. Is this keyboard still savagable? I'm sure I can get the rest to work. Any recommendatons? Yes I know I'm stupd. My keyboard is a dell L100/usb.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

Give it time, same kinda thing happens when my mobile gets wet, it may work in a day or 2, I'm on a laptop, I have no idea how to clean it, I bet there's at least 300 grams of crumbs and dust inside.



Recommendations?
Time to buy a new keyboard
:p
If you'd filmed that whole process, it would be an instant youtube smash hit



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Hmm I dunno, like HMG said, give it time, same thing happens when anything is wet, I'm on a laptop also and I had to pull the space bar out cause it was screwing up, didn't fix it though but over time it just started working properly again.

Use an aerosol can and blow it out thats what your supposed to do.

Why take it apart to clean it? Also didn't you spell keyboard wrong.




Nintendo still doomed?

It looks all dry. I should have used the blow dryer to get the stuff out rather than water. My only other keyboard isn't usb which sucks.
