Re: [CGUYS] *dishwasher-safe* keyboard
I dont have a dishwasher safe keyboard, but I have run my dirty keyboard through the dishwasher. I can honestly say it worked. The keys were clean and no longer sticky. When plugged into the computer it worked fine. Having said that I take no responsibility for what happens to your keyboard if you try it. Turn off the settings that control the heating coil so that the water doesnt get any hotter than what normally comes out of the faucet. Make sure you have it on the top rack. Place it on the rack keys down and give it a try. I dont remember if I used soap or not. If you were going to replace the keyboard anyway you might as well give it a try. By the way, the keyboard is still going strong. Bart -- Original message -- From: David Chessler [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Original: FROM.

On this new keyboard there is a silicone membrane in between the keys and the innards of the thing and you just stick the whole keyboard upside down in the dishwasher whenever you want to clean it out.

Isn't this Computer Guys IP? Should we sue? I read a couple of days ago where some company is now selling a *dishwasher-safe* keyboard!

Re: [CGUYS] *dishwasher-safe* keyboard
My understanding is that a long time ago when printed circuit boards were manufactured, at the end of the process they were cleaned with some sort of solvent. This became too damaging to people and the environment, so most manufacturers switched to a process that allowed the boards to be cleaned with water. Someone I knew spilled milk on their keyboard, and telephoned me for advice. I told them to put it into the sink and submerge it in water so that the milk wouldn't dry, and I would come over, open the keyboard, clean it, dry it, and close it. They thought that I was crazy and never wanted to see me again! I dont have a dishwasher safe keyboard, but I have run my dirty keyboard through the dishwasher. I can honestly say it worked. The keys were clean and no longer sticky. When plugged into the computer it worked fine. Having said that I take no responsibility for what happens to your keyboard if you try it.
