kristel is correct
I wouldn't have bothered boiling the kettle ...
but the point is to use 'distilled water' ... me, I would have just used the tap.
Yes it does work ... as long as it’s really dried out (an airing cupboard is ideal) before re-fitting there should be no problems.
Does
NOT work with CDROM or floppy drives (though I got a couple working again. Keyboards take a little longer to 'dry out' and don't try it on a monitor.
A little more on keyboards ...
If you do spill, and you will, the most important thing to do is hit the 'off switch', best to use the wall socket as it will instantly turn off all power.
Remove the keyboard and promptly 'stick it in the shower' ... I found the shower is better as you can cover the area quicker than 'under the tap'. Ensure that the keyboard is placed upside-down on a towel and if you don't have an airing cupboard just leave it in a warm place for a couple of days.
Nope this is not a joke, it does work. If you’re using a cheap keyboard, use it as an excuse to go and get a nice new one.
how'd you manage to spill tea onto a graphics card?
Easy ... just open the case and have a cuppa in your hand ... I have done it with a cup of coffee and managed to cover the whole inside of the computer. After washing and drying Nettie is using it now. :brow:
