Thanks Yokoy! I will definitely try that out.
I figured that it was the impurities in the water that screwed up the
keyboard not necessarily water itself.
Does it have to be a large quantity of water or just enough to fully
submerge the keyboard? Perhaps I need a lot of water in order to get

I haven't had a soaked olpc (yet), but most of the other devices that
hand these kind of problems where much simply cured by :
- being taken apart
- carefull cleaning with a cloath, especially for the tip of flat
cable going to a FPC connector which some dirt (oxidation? short
circuit? isolant?)

Hi,
the best thing you could do is to put the device (keyboard) into a bathtub with
distilled water. No joke! after one or two days the electrolyte ingredients
will be washed out. After that drip of the water and be patient one or two
days. The device has to be very dry before you should activa
The first XO casualty at Nepal's pilot schools a few days ago. A second
grader washed his XO because it had gotten too dirty.
Thankfully, the display, cpu and motherboard seem to be working fine.
The keyboard is non-functional and the mouse is nominally functional.
Anyone know a fix for a "washed
It's already been two days and it is quite dry.
the keys don't respond at all. The touchpad works but only responds to
heavy pressure.
