Cleaning with distilled water and 99% pure rubbing alcohol will not help. (Typed from my new K90 with no liquids anywhere near it). Is there a medal for accidentally destroying gaming gear? This has got to be at least the 3rd or 4th Kb that I've ruined like this over the past dozen years. Anyone else got similar horror stories? LordOfChaos, pancakes and Tristan 3 Awards

Popped off my belt clip and bloop. Took off the cover, pulled the battery, and put everything into a bag of rice to dry it out. Afterwards, phone turned on but unfortunately the antenna did not pick up any signals. It was worth a shot. Everyone's stories are fun to read. Awards

Was out of town onsite at a clients and my custom build was on order. Bartender had just poured me a dram of scotch and set it next to the laptop which I was working on. Another patron of the bar, who had been partaking for several hours already, came over and with a single swing of an arm the laptop keyboard now was swimming in 12 year old single malt. And I thought "Great now I'm going to be buying 2 new laptops"!
