What is your luck drying a keyborad that had water on it? Original k70 red

[PhilBoisvert]

Hey guys, idiot me spilled my water bottle on my desk yesterday while my pc was off. I was damn sure no water got on the electronics, seems it did. My keyboard did not work this afternoon when I powered on my pc. Not a lot of it seem to have got inside, but the lowest point of the board inside the k70 is big chip and there seems to be marks of dried water on it. 

 

Have you ever had to repair that kind of damage? I have seen case when keys registered weirdly before drying but what about when it just doesnt turn on? 

 

Thanks

 

I have a blackwidow ult ME3 edition but its at my parents place and my roomate will probably kill me of I bring cherry blues in the appartment.

I know a guy who spilled water on his mechanical keyboard and it stopped working. Eventually his brother went to test it like 3 months after and it worked fine, except the LEDs didn't work.

You should wait till it is completely dry and then try to use it again. Maybe clean the water marks from it using some rubbing alcohol.

Water shouldn't damage keyboards if you leave them to properly dry, bone dry. I've spilt water on my g710, CM Master keys and k70. Leaving them upside down without keycaps for a weeking and they worked fine.

I took it appart to make it dry and blew some air in on it to make the big drop go away. 

 

I just talked to the repair guys next to my app and he said there was not much chance if the water touched the chip. Ill se tomorrow I guess...

Turn it upside down, without the keycaps and store it somewhere warm and dry, like a hit water cupboard for a few days.

I took mine completely apart, let it sit and dry for about an hour, and put it back together and it works fine.
