On the downside, I had a glass of water sitting next to my keyboard
(the very thin aluminum kind), and I bumped it over on the keyboard.
The water went all over the keys. Instantly I turned the board over
and set it on a towel, and tapped on it, hoping to drain out all the
water. Then I fired up a hair dryer and held the keyboard upside down
and dried the heck out of it. All to no avail. The keyboard is dead.
Tapping on keys gets no response whatever on the screen.
I can't figure out how to Magic Erase the inside of a keyboard,
assuming it would work. Does anyone know a way this dead keyboard
might be resuscitated?
You could try putting the kb in an airtight container along with a good
amount of desiccant (dry rice, the packets included with some items for
shipping) and leave it be for a good amount of time. This method has
been used successfully with mobile phones.
