    wierd keyboard error, shift also selects control


    just had an accident with some water n my keyboard, so while i was lifting up the keyboard to wipe up the water, i pressed some keys down together. now whenever i press left or right shift keys, onscreen keyboard shows me its registering both a shift + ctrl being pressed. this is annoying as i cant get the capital letters to work without caps lock, not to mention when i forgot and click shift w and i close my bloody browser. can anyone tell me how i get it back to normal. tried recovering to this morn but that didnt solve the problem. i have checked and sticky keys is not selected
    cheers

    Hi

    Welcome to Seven Forums :)
    Try drying it out for a couple of days - there's danger of something shorting if water is still on the keyboard and you continue using it.
    The best remedy would be to buy a new one

    Hope this helps

    maybe pull it apart and dry it, but buying a new one would be the cheap quick fix... lucky its not a laptop!

    You could try drying it and buying a cheap one to replace it.

    Take a hair dryer.

    Select a very low heat.

    Select the highest fan setting.

    Blow dry your keyboard.
