Well, it wasn't actually the keyboard that got drunk :)
Like an idiot, I spilled some beer on my HP keyboard while it was in use (about an ounce or so). I
immediately shut down the PC and disconnected the keyboard. I turned it upside down and gently shook
out any excess liquid. I used paper towel to wipe obvious wet spots, then it was then left to dry
overnight. Upon reconnection, the keyboard _appears_ to be functioning correctly, other than a few
sticky keys. No errors, no shocks or smoke, etc.
What should I do now? Should I take it apart and attempt a proper cleaning? If so, with what? Other
suggestions? Thanks for helping someone who breaks his own rule about liquids near the keyboard.
