Filco and coffee, good combination? You decide...

[ironcoder]

Well I never did this before...today.

Cup of coffee all over one of my Filcos. Into the shower until the water ran mostly clear but now 6 hours later it's dead when I plug it in.

How do I remove the back from this keyboard? I already unscrewed the one screw under the "Do not remove" label and that seems to have done nothing. Thanks.

Also, plugging it in 6hrs after a cold shower is likely to have killed it even if the coffee didn't. If you give electronics a bath you need to make sure they are thoroughly dried before applying power.

Thank you.

Ripster, you're still here! Thanks for the help.

This is fixed! Thanks guys. Two thumbs up to the Filco team. You are very flood resistant.

Oh well, spoke too soon. Not fixed. Does some very wierd things. Works then doesn't work.

How much is a flaky Filco Tenkeyless with coffee damage worth on the geekhack market today?
