Thanks !
But I have first to remove the BIOS password to let USB and XP
take the control of the PC...
A keyboard is cheap on e..y but only US !
Not that expensive in Belgum compared to oil...
The major point is to be sure it is the keyboard
that got fluid not the small pcb just underneath
that got liquid too !
After one and two rinses under running water about 8 keys were out
from which one for the password :-( !
I put it 15 minutes in distilled water this morning. We will see
tomorrow night...
