So the situation is that my cooler master quickfire tk mechanical keyboard stopped working. i spilled juice into it and the next day it stopped working. ive spilt things into this keyboard plenty of times but never too much, this time for some reason the juice dripped through to the backboard and straight into the little power connector in the back that you plug a mini usb into to connect to the computer. Ive already tooken it apart, cleaned everything with alcohol, got all of the juice residue out, let it all dry and then put it back together, it still wont work. I noticed that when that there was juice in the mini usb port and on the actual cable itself when i was taking it apart(Obcviously i did my best to clean out the mini usb port and the cable but i dont think i did it very well, i was worried that if i washed it with water and let it dry for a long time in rice that it would break, also had an idea to just soak it in straight alcohol to clean it all out, i thought it was a bad idea so i didnt do it.) . There was not much juice on the backboard of the keyboard, the pcb thing that has all the switches soldered to it, but whatever i could find i cleaned. I made sure there was no residue anywehre and then put it back together, it still doesn't work, anyone got any ideas? IS my keyboard just straight dead now? Could i just wash the whole thing with water to get all the residue out and then thoroughly dry it like linus did in that video of the laptop that he left out in the rain? What do i do?

It's not a troll, i don't know why you thought it was one, the linus video reference was just an actual idea, maybe it could fix the keyboard

 

The linus video you are talking about was for a laptop that only took one soaking you said you have dropped liquids before, now just come on how much do you expect it to take if it isn't waterproof and then you want to wet it even further.

 

I have the TK with blue switches and i have spilled water on it and it has never gone through the keyboard and if it did for you then you  had to spill like a whole glass or bottle on it.

i said this earlier in the post, ive spilled stuff on it before but its never stopped working. This time i spilled some juice, and it wasnt that much(ive spilled more before and the keyboard was fine) but as i said earlier, it somehow reached the power connector, i dont know how. Also you're not being very helpful, just saying, i asked for ways to fix it, not to be criticized by random members. But thank you anyway
