Another way to solve the static problem is to use an anti static spray. This can be
sprayed lightly over the surface and will help to carry static away from the area. One
spraying usually lasts a few weeks and is easy to apply. This can benefit in another way
in that it reduces static problems experienced with VDU‟s causing charged dust to be
blown into the face of the user, too little to notice, but enough to dry out skin and tire
the eyes.
Spraying your keyboard
We suggest an anti static spray such as Johnsons Sparkle anti static polish. First use a
soft brush (such as a 25mm paint brush) to loosen any dust down between the keys and
then hold the keyboard up and give it a good blow to remove any trapped dust. This
ensures that a sticky deposit does not build up between the keys which could stop the
keys working. Next, spray the keyboard all over the top surface to make it
lightly
wet
and then use the brush to spread the fluid down among the keys and all over the
surface. Allow the spray to dry off completely before using the keyboard (10 minutes or
so). Keep the spray and brush together in a bag and repeat the application every 3 or 4
weeks, or whenever a static problem occurs.
This will also help keep your keyboard clean. Anti static wipes can be used about once a
week to rub over the front surfaces and key tops. After wiping the keyboard also wipe
the VDU and the surrounding plastic frame.
If your computer seizes up or becomes erratic while in use, turn the keyboard on end so
that no keys are pressed, and press the black reset button in the base of the keyboard.
If the problem persists, due to serious internal damage, contact us directly, quoting the
keyboard type and chip number. A new microchip, which can be fitted by you or us, may
be necessary to solve the problem.
