Sticky Keys on HP48GX Message #1 Posted by Stephen Crumley on 15 Dec 2005, 9:44 p.m. Spilled some soda on my HP48. Luckily there was not much left in the can, but enough spilled to make the right 3 keys on the lower 2 rows sticky (everything functions fine, just kind of annoying). Is there a way to clean the keys without resorting to the extreme distilled water submersion method discussed in another post? Thanks. Stephen

It is IMO the only way to get goo out of a keyboard. The only precaution is to allow it to *completely* dry before re-inserting batteries. Twenty four hours in a warm place with a small fan directed at the keyboard is usually enough.

I'll have plenty of time to let it dry out before needing it again. Cheers, Stephen
