Kiloo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 So today i was drinking some water and i spilled it on my keyboard (Logitech g710+). After cleaning it off, i noticed that my space bar didn't work, but every other key did. Just trying to find a way to fix it! Any help is appreciated!

AntBlanc Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 let it dry for a bit and hopefully it fixes it. using a fan to blow on the keyboard can help too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorStar_Nutbag Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Forget the space bar and arrange your keys to have curse words. Rice really does nothing? i thought instant rice soaked up the moisture. Not entirely but surely it does somthing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Potter M.D. Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I got my iPhone to work from using damprid witch is meant to reduce humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranHorse Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Don't use rice chances are you'll never get it out. I assumed you already plugged it in after water made contact so chances are the circuits fried for the space bar. Probably gotta just buy a new one. Next time this happens unplug let it dry for a long time and then if you can get to the circuit board dab some rubbing alcohol on it. This will get the water out. Let it dry some more then plug it in. You can try this now and it may work but I wouldn't count on it. (Did this with water on a running graphics card. Got all over the pcb. Unplugged and soaked it in the alcohol with q tips. Waited 24 hours and it worked. Goodluck!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unplugged and soaked it in the alcohol with q tips. Waited 24 hours and it worked. Goodluck!) I unplugged it almost immediately and dried it off really good. If it doesn't work in the mourning, where should i try and rub the alcohol on the circuit board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't work in the mourning, where should i try and rub the alcohol on the circuit board? Yeah thats where my experience doesn't really help. See if there is a way to remove the back part of the keyboard or get to the pcb. My k90 has some screws on the back that I assume lead to the pcb. Google a little bit to see how to take it apart safely. If you get it open and see some black burnt stuff or blown cap (if keyboards have caps that are big enough to see) then its toast.

I could not get the circuit board on its own, under the space bar this is what i see ---> http://gyazo.com/d89ef5a1c0e2dfdb583489713e163ac9 (not my keyboard) it doesn't look fried or burnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnPrePared_ Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well if you still have warrant try to send it back to the store if it is not going to work best of luck PS: this is why you don't take drinks to your computers and if you do, do it on a save distance xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
