Help me fix my keyoard! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

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?

Increase Your PM Length

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.

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?

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