Liquid does strange things to electromechanical devices like keyboards... Check out iFixit dot com and see if there are any clues to how the keyboard works...

Doesn't seem to be much info in ifixit.com - just a price for a new keyboard! Do the StRaNgE things stop once the tea has left the building? Or could it cause permanent damage?

Basically, if I can't fix this for nothing, I'm f**ked. I use this machine every day and simply can't afford to pay to have it repaired or replaced :-(


There is loads of crap in Tea... the problem is I don't know the mechanics behind the new apple keyboards... the old ones were an easy fix... :-(
