keyboard cleaning

I bought one of those tub things from Walmart w/a 28 qt. capacity (a qt. is roughly a lt. for those hooked on metrics). I put in about eh 1 - 1.5 cups of laundry detergent, ran hot water from the shower into it, then plopped in the keyboard (without the casing, but didn't pull the keytops off. No way, no fing way). Then I poured about 1/3 of a 1/2 gallon bottle of ammonia in. Let it sit for a few hours (while I watched Timeline - wasn't anywhere near as good as I was lead to believe), rattled the keys some at that point, then went to bed. The next afternoon I awoke, rattled the keys some more, then ran the shower over it. I left it in front of the air conditioner for the remainder of the day (what was left) and by oh midnight or so I plugged it in. A few of the keys are still partially unresponsive, but overall I think the procedure was a success, and there wasn't any *apparent* damage to the unit. But some ram chips died along the way...only ~25k of memory is available to programs, of a 640k system. Granted it has that SLE software running, but I can't imagine it eating up that much memory. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
