The short story of my Z-board

I have a Ideazon Zboard for my home computer. It was working just fine until one day my oldest child decided that it needed a Pepsi bath. Needless to say Zboards do not require periodic Pepsi baths. The soda seeped into the deep crevasse of the base and caused several keys to quit working. I was very upset and placed it off the side thinking it would never work again. A coworker of mine had a Zboard base to sell, so I bought it from him. I was gaming again with the gaming key sets and all was good. Not long after purchasing the new base we experienced another Pepsi bath. Another coworker offered to clean out the first key set and see if it would work again. Once the Pepsi was cleaned off of the internal printed circuit boards the "F" key still did not function. He found a break where the Pepsi had eaten through the circuit board. To fix this he taped a small piece of telephone wire across the break. Amazingly this worked.

Refocus

I am contemplating refocusing my blog into the subject of Tech. Now I know that there are tons of blogs and websites that focus on Technology. This undertaking is more for personnel growth and sharing information that I find or experience. I want to work on my writing and communication skills, and I am using my love for Tech to accomplish this goal. Stay tuned for more in the future........
