Keyboard Faq's   KEYBOARD INTRODUCTION                 The keyboard is the main input peripheral used by all computers. The keyboard allows for user input and action with the computer.                 Much like many type writers the keyboard has all the letters of the alphabet, numbers 0 - 9 and additional special operational keys. So one way to stop any issues from arising then keep this in mind when the coffee is spilt by mistake :) KEYBOARD CLEANING Why? Dirt, dust and hair can build up causing the keyboard to not function properly.                Procedure: Many people clean the keyboard by turning it upside down and shaking. A more effective method is to use compressed air. Compressed air is pressurized air contained in a can with a very long nozzle.             Simply aim the air between the keys and blow away all of the dust and debris that has gathered there. A vacuum cleaner can also be used, but make sure the keyboard doesn't have loose  "pop off" keys that could possibly be sucked up by the vacuum. Why? If the keyboard has anything spilt into it not taking the proper steps can cause the keyboard to be destroyed.            Procedure: The following are a few recommendations to help prevent a keyboard to become bad once a substance has been spilt within it. First turn the computer off immediately.                 Once the computer is turned off quickly flip the keyboard over helping to prevent the substance from penetrating circuits. While the keyboard is upside shake the keyboard on a surface you do not mind getting wet or which can be cleaned up.            While still upside down use a cloth to help clean out what can be reached. Once the keyboard has been cleaned the best it can, leave the keyboard upside down for at least one night. The longer it can be left without plugged in the better. If a keyboard does not work after having a substance spilt into it, it is recommended that it be replaced.
