Logitech G510s broke?!

[monaka25]

Well, I noticed a small drink spilled over night, while I didn't notice, usually my keyboard has survived MUCH worse... but usually I would unplug it as soon as it happens, but this happened over night, but it wasn't too much liquid at all ): I have been trying to dry it under 2 different fans, 1 powerful, and 1 weak ): Here is a video of whats going on, it tries to boot turn on, but it turns off, and if I'm lucky, In the windows start up screen, I can press enter, at one point, I had the keyboard stable on, but only things that worked was caps lock and enter but that only happened once, but the rest of the time it would just turn on and off, and rarely I could press enter, but it just flashes, when  I'm logged in, it flashes from the keyboards default blue, to red(which is what I have it set to in the drivers).  And I'm not sure whats wrong, and if its perm dead ):  I will post a vid later once the vid uploads qq

Take apart the keyboard clean everything and give it a test if it still doesn't function you could try bathing the PCB board in Isopropyl alcohol to remove and contaminates that might be causing the problem

          Ok, but I'm not taking off the keys, but the main frame will be just fine, so I'll try that.. good thing I have lots of Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning off thermal paste  At the one time it did stay on but didn't really work, and just the caps and enter worked, besides that, it may be a issue with something that makes the keyboard turn on

I would take the keys off to clean them off and under them say in a tub a warm soapy water if it was say soda or something so it doesn't make they keys stick. One thing to note when removing the top half from the bottom it should have a ribbon cable for that screen so be-careful when detaching.

I have spilt soda on the keyboard, but before, I just used hot water while it was unplugged, sprayed hot water to get it through, then let it dry over night, but not in this case, I'm going serious this time, but meh keys are still good feeling. It was water this time Just that it had time to soak ontot he PCB before i unplugged it :c

You can't expect a piece of electronic equipment to keep on working if you mistreat it

[monaka25]

Maybe I didn't dry it enough, but when I spray keyboard with a hot sprayer, I let it sit for many hours, but this time I didn't spray it since it was just water, and It hasn't been under the fans long enough, but opening it did help me find lots of water, so I'll let it sit open(but not the keys) for some time, which will hopefully help me speed it up! Thx @W-L I'll try it!

    I've had electronics break, but never from liquid, I've had them temporarily disabled, but never completely killed, and I hope I can still say that once this is completely dry!

Yeah I wouldn't do that it's not exactly the best for the electronics most keyboards have drain holes in them if you do spill stuff so it leaks back out the bottom but if you spray a lot of water on it it can get down into the PCB and electronics.

Yeah, but if anything but water gets on it, it isn't exactly easy to take off every key, and since it doesn't have any power coming to the keyboard, it has never failed, heck, one time a cat barfed on our modem, and it didn't work until I hot water sprayed the modem(but the modem is simplistic, and has LOTS of holes in it since it gets HOT.

The keyboard does have 5V power since it's plugged in via USB but oh gawd keep your PC far away from the cat

              Well, my PC is under my desk, so the cat doesn't jump on it, and ever since the cat barfed on the router, we put a giant wood plank above my networking area so the cats don't push buttons on the router.. or barf on it

[monaka25]

Well this is weird, the keyboard main part is a series of paper like things with engraved pcb, and the bottom one has the rubber buttons.. and it seems the top one was sticking to the big plastic thing that holds down the paper like things, but the reason why it was sticking is static, why is that? I could feel the static once I got it off, I put my hand close to the bare plastic, and I can feel the electric waves Is that a bad thing D:?

[monaka25]

Woot! My keyboard works now! I haven't screwed the back on yet, but I'm typing this message with it! But there is still 1 issue The screen on it is showing nothing but pure green :c Besides that, from what I can tell, it works fine! 

 

    But the screen was what really pulled me to this keyboard, so plz help me with the screen

[monaka25]

          I  restarted, and I'm sure the connectors are still plugged in! But all but the screen works Atleast I now have a keyboard with a gaming key, volume wheel, 18 g keys, 3 colors binds,  RGB backlighting, not key per key Entire keyboard, but it isn't mechanical, and I paid 80 ubcks for this because of the epic screen I use like its my baby.

Atleast it kind of works, make sure your properly seating that ribbon cable in place, those can be a little tricky.
