I have a Pentium II PC Partner motherboard model LXB834D with an Intel 440LX chipset. I have a Windows 98 compatable 104 keyboard. My daughter spilled some cola on the keyboard and I have not been able to resolve the problem of some keys not working properly including the "spacebar". I have tried a different keyboard and the problems switch to different keys. (really weird) I also had virus problems and corrected that by doing a low level format and repartitioning the hard drive. I then got the lateset BIOS bin file and upgraded the BIOS hoping that would solve the keyboard problem, but no luck. > >Does anyone know if this can be fixed or do I need to trash the motherboard?

That will probably solve your problems as keyboards are not water/coffee/colaproof and can be difficult to get cleaned up effectively. Hope this helps.
