powerbook keyboard washing
My Powerbook got wine spilled on it at eTech during the Roomba cockfights. (Actually it was afterwards when I wasn't controlling my Roomba, but instead was talking about it with folks)
The Powerbook survived the wine spill, but it took out almost the entire right-half of the keyboard, making the keys either non-functional, stuck in one state, or intermittent.
I removed the keyboard and washed it. This is actually safe as long as you're careful to get things completely dry before reconnecting power. And use detergent, not soap.
The washing took care of the intermittent and sticky keys, but the right shift and the arrow keys were toast. I ended up having to buy a replacement keyboard.
