Keyboard Lead Fire
Just had the wife on the phone.
It seems that the keyboard lead at the keyboard grommet became damaged with use, ultimately resulting in the wires short-circuiting and creating a small fire. Just a general post to demonstrate the risk. Thank you for reading. |
Rail Engineer,
USB or PS/2 ? Brand name or cheap unbranded ? Did you have any flammable materials on your desk ? How much were you manhandling the keyboard to cause such extensive grommet wear ? Do you have kids around or something ? Not doubting your story in the slightest, but just seems weird given the minuscule amps passing through the cables ! At least your wife was at home. |

At least your wife was at home. 1 USB 2 Brand - not sure but was supplied by the custom system maker and was not cheap. System was/is a gaming machine used by the youngest lad (22) 3 Nothing flammable 4 Not sure. He is keeping to show me when I next travel back home to UK 5 No kids 6 Miniscule until the circuit shorts and then the current will increase exponentially until some either trips, fuses, or ultimately breaks the circuit 7 Lad was using it at the time. |
