I just realized I never posted results on my keyboard in the dishwasher experiment.
As suggested, I took all the goodies out of the inside, and just washed the shell. I turned off the heated drying cycle to avoid problems with meltiness, and stuck the shell in the bottom section of the dishwasher. I added soap, dishes, and ran it on "heavy wash". After drying and reassembling the board, it seemed stiff and non-responsive (in that sticky key way, not that it didn't work). I kept using it, mostly because I forgot to grab a spare keyboard at work, and after a day or two, it went back to normal. I suspect that the stickiness was due to moisture in the sliding bits under the keys that was distributed and dryed during use. Anyway, other than that, it worked like a charm. If you ignore the six years of scarring, the keyboard looks like new. That is to say, it's back to the original color. :-) So, yeah. Good experiment. --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:179281 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
