What To Do If You Spill Liquid On Your Computer Keyboard!!! Here's What I Did!

I just attempt to avoid liquids near my electronics. I mean no one is perfect we ALL spill things from time to time and I'm just afraid to spill it on my nice electronics which could get fried. don't get me wrong though. I still keep a drink near me at my desk at all times, but what I do is i keep it at the other end of my desk. or on a table or surface elsewhere in my room. that way its close by but not going to get spilled when I have an urgent twitch. haha. but sounds like you did a great job of saving your computer and not getting electrocuted either. :DDDDD

i just unplug the keyboard and turn it upside down.

This is why I am very careful not to drink around my keyboard. I am such a klutz I would be spilling on it constantly. I would make a suggestion that has worked for watches that get wet. I seal them in a bag with desicant crystals--those little packets that say "do not eat this" that come in vitamins and leather shoes and other things. I save them all. They absorb moisture from their surroundings, then can be put in the microwave for thirty seconds to dry out. I do not have enough for the computer, but this is the same stuff that comes in craft stores to dry flowers. I would get me some if my keyboard got wet.

thanks for the info and it would also be good to have an extra keyboard arounbd to use till ya can go back to that one hugs

I keep a drink by my computer at all times pretty much. I know one of these days I am going to knock it over and get in all in my keyboard. Thanks. Now I will know what to do, lol.

That's quick thinking and I hope I can remember it. It's something I expect to do at any time as I'm always drinking coffee. I don't have a spray air duster but I do have a hair dryer...do you think that would work? What if it was something other than water? How would we clean that up do you reckon?

I think you will completely destroy it-electroncs dont easily appear compitible with water

This is why I always drink out of water bottles and on the very rare occasions that I actually drink out of a cup it stays right with me where there is no chance of accidentally spilling it or Morgana dumping it. [b]MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

some great information here. i'm always drinking coffee or pop when i'm on the keyboard. however, i always keep it on the table behind me. then i have to physically swivel my chair so i'm not over the keyboard when taking a sip. it's close enough that this is not an interruption. i'm someone who gets crumbs in my keyboard. i always run my vacuum sweeper on it to keep it clean.
