Help me fix my keyoard!
My keyboard is not working properly right now. Is it possible to fix the board or will I have to bite the bullet and buy a new one?
Keys that are not working include the n, b, ?, spacebar, escape and the directional keys. Don't ask how I am typing this sentence.
I've had the keyboard for 4 years without complaints. I suspect that I must have spilled some pop on the keyboard.
Any suggestions?

You could try to clean the keyboard out a bit. Also you might attempt to pop the keys out and clean the contacts inside with alcohol, but it's not recommended.

I am typing this sentence using the on screen keyboard. It is awfully slow to type with though. Maybe a new keyboard isn't such a bad idea after all?

Keyboards are cheap. Very cheap.

I type at 70wpm, so I won't go the onscreen keyboard route. It's brutal right now to even type a sentence having to cut and paste.
Sounds like I'll have to buy a cheap keyboard. I was so looking forward to getting caught up on all my reading before the new school term.
Thanks for the help.

If you buy a $10 key board you can't read?

Not while he is out shopping for it, presumably.

It's no fun to reply to posts right now. I'd rather post to all those threads I've missed rather than just lurk.

If I helped you fix your keyboard Ben, then that means you can continue participating in Apolyton's Off-Topic forum.

Exactly!!
I think you can get one for under $5 at Fry's Electronics. Why in the world would you bother trying to fix a broken one at that price?

Jesus Christ people, if your keyboard is broken at least make the threads funny by trying to use voice recognition software.

Yep. Paid 10 Canadian Pesos.
I have lots of threads to catch up with now that I'm back at school.

Such little imagination. Don't you know that just being with the one you love would keep one occupied?
