My Keyboard is not working functionally. [HELP]

[Jubro]

I have this keyboard : https://www.komplett.dk/cm-storm-quickfire-xt-keyboard-brown/795584

 

I have recently cleaned my keyboard and when I put it back in to use it i get this.

and i every tine i type in N and M i get NM and NM 

and each time i hit b and v it hits bv and bv

Each time i hit the enter bar i hit some other key, and i think it might be because i cleaned my conmputer recently and then the circulation have been destroyed. 

 

Thank you for you help, this was a great trouble writing.

How about now?

How about now?

yeah it works now

how did you clean it?

[Jubro]

I cleaned it very carefully with some water, but not down the holes where the electricity is.

You didn't take out the circuit board entirely or anything? Was it plugged in still? How long did you dry it for (and how did you)?

There's a few things you can try to fix it.

 

- Reinstall any drivers for the keyboard. Check CM-Storm's website for 'em.

 

- Change keyboard layout to something else and then back to English QWERTY (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 for Windows)

 

- Get a can of compressed air and in short bursts blow into the sockets or whatever other holes that may lead towards the circuit board. It might not be a bad idea to just do this for everywhere anyway. Be careful not to spray for a long period of time (bursts only) or hold the can at a downward angle or anything like that so moisture doesn't get in. Upward angles are favorable, if not straight on will be ok..

 

 

If those don't work, you might've caused some water damage somewhere.

Thank you for help i will investigate further.

I didn't take out the circuit board i think. It was not plugged in, i dried it for a quite long time. Approx 30-'50 mins.

You'd know if you did. It's underneath all of the keys inside the keyboard. It's likely that most mechanical keyboards aren't easy to break down anyway. I've done this many times for membrane keyboards when cleaning thoroughly (hair/dust/etc., spilled drinks) for myself and others. This included taking out keycaps which I don't recommend unless you have the tools to do so anyway. Not really sure what a mech board would look like taken apart either so don't try doing this.

 

My main point is that 30-50 minutes of air drying probably isn't long enough if you gobbed more than a droplet of water down inside. I usually took a hair drier to the keys and such before putting boards back together. Takes 10-15 minutes to be sure there aren't any droplets capable of falling on the circuit board inside and that's with constant, open airflow that's heated to over 90F.

 

Still, try what I said. If you haven't had the keyboard for long I would contact Cooler Master and see if they'll replace it or something. At least they'd help troubleshoot.

Thanks, and i did take it apart since i sadly did spill a soda drink in there.But i did not clean it internally. Thanks again.
