No problem! Take it apart right away and clean it up with soap and water. Let it dry thoroughly before putting it back together.

That's one of the reasons I like power bars. Hit that one switch, and all power is disconnected from all components, leaving the ground intact.

Heard somewhere that you can shower with it, then dry it out thoroughly, and it should be OK...yum,... Ribena!

TM, Can ya use a blow dryer on it after the shower? ;>)

What the heck is Ribena anyhow? (I guess I don't get out much anymore. Never heard of it. Although, I'm in Canada, so that may explain it.)

You could if you use a very low heat at a distance, however I wouldn't recommend it, has a tendency to melt things!!!

Ribena is a blackcurrnat cordial, stains virtually everything it comes into contact, very sugary, and therefore very sticky when dry.

Get a spray can of electronics cleaner and hold the keyboard over a sink when you use it, then thoroughly dry it with compressed air.
