Another way, if it's only water is to place the keyboard out in the
Sun for
a day, it
will dry out and everything will be Okay. >>

Good thought,
However, I believe Chris lives in the same part of the country as I do
and we
haven't had any clear, warm sunshine for two weeks. Mostly a lot of
humid
rain and drizzle and it is supposed to continue at least through
Sunday and then
it gets colder--if we're lucky!
I'm sorry, living in San Jose, Ca where the sun shines almost all of
the time (we only worry about Earth Quakes) I tend to forget that it's
that time of year when the sun isn't always around.
Still, your point is well taken. A completely dry keyboard is
essential.
Perhaps putting it in an oven at very low heat will accomplish the
same result.
Putting the keyboard into the oven should work, just got to be sure
that it doesn't get over about 70-80 degrees in there or there will be
more trouble. About 3-4 hours should be long enough.
I would try drying the keyboard out before I'd try taking it apart.
It's much easier and you don't take the chance of braking something and
making it a throwaway.
Tend to think his keyboard should have dried out by now with or
without the sun??
I've tried washing [ADB] keyboards with water and drying them out. In
my
experience, some times it works and sometime it doesn't.
Haven't tried washing an USB keyboard -- yet.
Just my 2 cents, --glen (digest)
