help!!!
I spilled apple sauce on my keyboard!!!
I'm writing on my father's keyboard right now, because not all letters are working properly anymore on my kepword... is there anything I can do?

Hi Annie!

First, you should get used to the idea to have to buy a new kb. The gluey sauce might destroyed the inside, and washing with water will most of the time cause more problems. When already having a new kb, you dont have to worry, if one of the cleaning tips makes even more damage - so use tips with care!

Here are some cleaning hints, but the most important tip (sorry to say): Keep away from computer with eating- and drinking stuff!

Thus I hope it was a Mac ;D

No, just kidding ;) ... A mate of mine told me about his customs of cleaning his keyboard. He disassembles it as far as he can, and then puts all the plastic parts into the dish washer. Maybe this is not possible with all kinda keyboards, and I don't know if it is a good idea either ;) However, he seems to be happy with this solutions, and probably this is something you wanna try :)
