Water damage on Black Widow Chroma

A Silver

So I had a glass of water  on my desk and I knocked it over. My mouse got a bit wet and still works but my Black Widow Chroma got soaked and does not work. I have shaken it to remove as much water as i can and placed it in a hot room where the hot water tank is in my house to attempt to dry it out. Any chance it will work after 24 hours? Is water damage covered in the 2 year Razer warranty if it is dead?

Another thing to try is to put it in rice to get any moisture out of it. I'm not sure if Razer covers water damage, but it's worth a try(I'd be surprised if they didn't tbh)

It might but I doubt it. Its all up to if there was a short when the water was poured on it and if any components inside got damaged.

That's what i'm worried about. Since I turned it on when there was a lot of water still in it, I doubt it will work.

Actually. They made a video about dying pheripherals.  Look: 

 

Anyway, based on what you just told us I am almost sure something shorted and you lost your keyboard. I am sorry for your loss. You can try any of the options in the video. I am rooting from you.

I mean it wont hurt to try I guess. If you can open parts of the keyboard then I would help it dry out and would also definitely give it 24 hours to dry before trying to use it.

I contacted the reseller and Razer but neither cover water damage so I will have to hope it works after drying out...
