oh no beer spillage!!!!!

[robholmes]

Hi Guys

With the help of my 2 year old son i managed to spill beer onto my GRT816 keyboard last night. It appears to be working ok apart from several keys either not working or acting eratic, i am having to use a desktop keyboard plugged into the back of my docking station to write this. Can anyone advise if the damage is permanent or will it right itself in time? Can it be repaired? or is it kaput? (hope not). Any help would be much appreciated.

just gave the keyboard ribbon a thorough clean but still several keys are not working, looks like a new keyboard!! how much was the shipping William?

I honestly can't remember but I think I chose the cheapest option ($10 ?) as I have a USB keyboard. It took about 10 days to arrive - They sent it airmail anyway:smileygrin:

If you start the buying process it will show you before you commit (make sure you choose a UK keyboard!).

I was alittle concerned because it involves Yahoo but that is the way they have chosen to do their online business dealings.

It all worked out fine, but god knows why you can't buy parts in the UK or the EU.

Enjoy your bike and thanks for the compliment, it keeps me sane, or am I insane?

I got some Pazzo Shorty levers a couple of weeks ago and love them:smileygrin:

The short term answer is you can replace the keyboard but it depends how much liquid you spilt, if it was half a glass then the liquid would of seeped down through the keyboard membrane and affected the systemboard, in time this will almost certainly cause corrosion and furring of the components and board and imminent system failure will occur...
