Comment A "safer" method? (Score 1) 534
I have heard of running keyboards through the dishwasher. I read something on it several years ago. From what I read though, it seems much safer to do it this way:
1. Disassemble the keyboard, and set the pcb(s) aside.
2. Put all the keys in the silverware basket
3. Put all the plastic panels on the top rack
4. Run normally, but skip the heated drying stage
5. Air dry until completely dry.
6. Reassemble.
It's quite a bit more work, but it sounds like it would be lower risk. I'm almost tempted to try it without disassembly though (but I'd likely break down and just disassemble it anyways).
