I dripped leg wax on my keyboard. No adverse effects yet, it just seems to be sitting on the top of k m and < but they're sticking together and what if it's dripped down below ?

Oh cripes. <gets some cotton wool and oil>

The keys will pop off if you need to clean them and it will allow cleaning under the keys! (*coughs* chocolate syrup incident at university allows for this knowledge.)

CHANTILLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY - YOU'RE BACK!!!

Don't know if the popping off keys works with a laptop, but I seem to have solved the issue anyway, ran a skewer around the keys to lift off the worst of the wax, then a cotton bud with oil on to remove the residue and take off the stuff under the key, then kitchen towel with wahsing up liquid on to get rid of the oil. My keyboard actually looks better than it did to start with!

Um, you buy a new one? They're really cheap (unless you have a specialty keyboard). Mine cost $12 or something and I love it.

 

[Liar]

(unless you have a specialty keyboard).

Or if it's stuck to the laptop.

 

[S-Des]

Or if it's stuck to the laptop.

Damn, I never thought about that. I can't afford a laptop good enough to use as an every day computer. V, if that's the case, PM me. I used to make my living fixing analog & digital electronic gear. I can walk you through the pluses & minuses of which things to use. But if it's a regular keyboard, I'd just replace it (way too much work to fix it right). On the bright side, if it doesn't act up right away, you should be home free.

 

[Vermilion]

S'ok, I fixed it. Unfortunately I got the bright idea of running the cotton bud between the rest of the keys to clean it up a bit and accidentally prised off the top of my 'pause, break' key... and I can't fix it back on properly. Whoops. it's only attached on one side.

Oh, and double fuck. My comp has been very slow recently so I updated some anti-virus software (AVG) and I have a trojan horse...

So now I try to get rid of it, right? I hate PCs... I mix my Mac, noone ever bothers to send viruses out to macs.

I think you should contact you laptop mfg. and ask them if next time you should shave your keyboard, because I have never heard of anyone using leg wax.

Hope this helps.

see ya, Lisa.

Smart arse.
And I have to say I am a little concerned that they do not provide any information on personal grooming and hygiene for laptops...

Well, they do, but for some reason keyboard maintenance is left out per governmental orders and is on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

Just be glad you don't have a desktop PC which can have all kinds of strange problems like mine.

My imagination is running wild with why there was melting wax there in the first place.

I'm hoping "webcam", but alas, it was probably nothing nearly as fun

 

[rammage]

i broke a key off my laptop once and i couldnt get it back in. i wanted to just replace them all since they were all getting worn out and i got an estimated cost of 80 dollars to replace the keys on my laptop. yeah...after a few months i finally managed to bang it back into place instead of paying hte money. but just so you know, they do that kinda stuff incase this happens again and its too crazy to clean out yourself.

 

[glynndah]

Lisa,

Perhaps it didn't like the taste. Try sprinkling the disc with a light coating of sugar before you insert it next time.

Well... I have a low boredom threshold, so I was watching tv online, checking the forum and trying to wax my legs all at the same time...
Female multi-tasking gone bad.

And TGP - that's why I specified *leg* wax... didn;t want anyone getting their hopes up... also, candle wax woulda been much easier to remove as it's less sticky and hardens quickly and completely...

Yeah, like specifying leg wax would stop my imagination

 

[kinkikittyn]

did you give it a Brazilian wax?

I thought all keys did that but when I tried it on my keyboard I landed up with a crooked half pried off key. and there are still crumbs in the keyboard.

ditto.

Can;t get the key back on properly, but at least it's not a very useful one... like the letter 'e',
or this being Lit, the letters 'f' or 'u'....
