LAN Party. Had an LG wireless keyboard that came with the monitor. AA batteries leaked acid inside and it stopped working correctly. Random keys would press. Opened it up, pulled apart the two sheets that had what looked like an oversized circuit board.

Wiped the battery leavings off, then drew the circuits back on with a pencil. Then thought to use sandpaper to sever the Windows key so I’d never again minimize during Counter Strike.

Keyboard worked for years after that.
