Yeah, that's right, wine... a glass of it knocked over and onto the key board. :roll: Well the hard drive still works.

And there was I thinking it was that emulator that isn't an emulator.

Try leaving it a few weeks to dry out, you never know your luck.

I had that problem with another beverage a few years ago. I endeavored to pick the laptop's keyboard apart and clean every single key... but it never was quite the same and always played up since then. Rebooting randomly etc... let's hope you will be luckier.

Electronic Tuner Cleaner...
Such as https://www.radioshack.com/product/ind ... d=12784986
made to clean the sticky residues from electronic parts w/o damaging them.
Spray it and it very quickly evaporates.
However, I would use the Extension spay tube that comes with it and spray under and between the keys.
Don't breathe it ..it's a Killer... ;)

@ sqlpython...

It was just a jpeg I dug out from the interweb. :D

There was a little debian based project going on here...

... which contains a link to a PDF for the bottle label...
