Help! Spilled Liquids on My Q

[JeepGuy]

So a few nights ago I had the dreaded beer bottle tip over only to spill right onto my Q. I wiped overything as quickly as possible and everything seem to be working. The next day I notice that all the keys on the right hand side make a weird "clicking/cracking" sound. I'm guessing that some liguid did get inside the Q.

Anyone have any methods of getting this corrected, like any cleaning ideas?

Thanks

My experience with spills on cellphones & my palm was that I imediately removed battery..used air can spray to spray on keyboard and then let the item in question "Q" in this matter, stay unplugged, no battery, on top of several papertowels. Every so often I'd shake & spray air on to keyboard.
I hope it works for you? Regards, abb

What kind of beer was it?

I spilled beer on my laptop some time ago and the keyboard made that cracky-click for a while afterwards. I don't think you can do much but let the beer wear off. (I guess you could say you're lettin your Q sober up?) I don't know what this thing looks like under the metallic skin, but if its guts are protected you might try sprinkling a little baby powder on the keyboard then pressing all the keys to let it get under the skin. I think the problem is that the top of the keys' edges is sticking to the inside of the skin. good luck!

My buddy fell off a boat with my brand new digital camera, completely submersed. I took the battery out, let it dry for days and then tried it. It was a little weird, so I let it dry some more...eventually it all came back and now the things works like brang new again. I can hardly believe it...

Just give it time, I bet it comes back just fine... I think contact cleaner may help. You can get it at radio shack. It evaporates and may clean the keys for you. I wouldn't soak it though, and of course no battery when you do it.

Hope you bought the insurance. I would guess the life has been severly shortened. My only expeirence with we phones / pda's has been they work ok until the corision does its thing inside. Hope this is not what happens to you, but it is definately why I purchased the insurance plan that I never purchase on anything.

After thinking of possible solutions for what I thought was Jeep's bad, it became obvious to me that it was really Jeep's evil, domineering, beer lusting Q's fault. In a completely selfish move, it is pretty straight forward to see that the Jeep'sQ just wanted to steal a beer and not share it with anyone.

How it pulled off this prior to unwitnessed mind trick that made Jeep dump his beer on it is beyond me, but I bet it's got something to do with wireless sync... maybe that's what it really does. It's the Q's way of controlling its owner. Now we may have proof that it is in fact true.

So on behalf of the entire forum, I hereby levy a one beer penalty on JeepGuy's Q. Total bar foul for your Q to hoard all the beer, no matter how cute it is. Jeep, your Q owes us all a beer. Pay up Q you evil mind controller!!!! You're not the boss of me!!! YOu're NoT the BOsS of MEEEE!!!!!

I gotta go, my Q needs me to change the channel...

It was a Corona Light.

To tell you the truth I think it was the Q's fault. In my Task list there was an entry, "Q wants beer". I don't remember putting that in there, but it was a Task and my life is in my Q so it had to be correct.

Thanks for a the suggestions. Everyone that I talk to seem to have there home remedy to fix it. The problem is everytime I push one of those buttons and hear that "clicking/cracking" sound just send chills down my spine.

I'll try a few things and let everyone know how it went and what worked.

Guys I have to share....my Q made me sleep with an ugly chick. It's not what you're thinking. I was minding my own business at my local watering hole when I started getting these strange thoughts in my head about putting the q on vibrate and hooking up with the next chick that walked into the fine, one tooth establishment I was patronizing. I've never had strange thoughts such as these. They almost exclusivedly revolved around placing my Q in meeting mode and forcing its love upon an unsuspecting victim. I've never, ever had these thoughts. Until I got my Q. I swear it's behind all this.... I'm not myself. Something is very, very wrong. I fear an exorcsim may be required. I need help. I cannot win this battle alone.

And so it happened, my Q obviously wielded it's unbridled wireless sync voodoo and well, my Q has been changed forever (atleast its color) and I am ashamed that once again I fell prey to its tricks. And much to my dismay, my keys click now when I press them.

I started off innocently enough with inane conversation about the weather and "what do you do for fun". When my alarm went off, which by the way, I had not set. It was obviously the Q's doing. It played a funky Prince song in my pocket and it wasn't long before this young maiden was fondling my prize. Pressing buttons and cooing the whole time...

One thing lead to another and due to the astonishing mind control powers of this simple electronic device, I was humbled into submission. I was powerless... I could not resist it's allure. I'm so ashamed... I must get rid of the Q.... I must. It's ruining my life. It's too strong. I hope my friends don't find out.

And to top it all off... oh...I can't...I must.... Nooooo!!!! The Q says I can't tell. I must obey.

The part that really sucked is that my Q was more charming than I was. Without my Q I was nothing. I
