wait really is it fixable? cause yeah it was spilled liquid and I dumped out all the liquid their was like a cup of liquid in it.. I dumped it out right away then when I tried to type this thread happened. It's triggering multiple keys at once

should i put it over the heater or something?

NO!

Rinse the keyboard thoroughly with distilled water, or Isopropyl alcohol (90% or better), then let it dry for like 2-4 days.
If it IS repairable, that will fix it.

so I can just run water/alcohol through it the same way i spilled into it?

should i take the keys out first?

You can pull the key caps if you want.

The important part here is to flood the keyboard with a non-conductive solution (like distilled water or isopropyl alcohol) to remove the possibly conductive drink remnants that you spilled on it.


Places like Walmart will have gallons of distilled water, and any drug store will have isopropyl alcohol.

alright thx

Just make sure you give it plenty of time to dry out. It takes a few days for the fluid down inside the key switches to dry. The rest of the keyboard dries much faster.

Just open it up and clean it by hand.
If it was just water then let it dry out only and don't soak it more.
anything else I assume has a sugar and would stick way to hard for a "soaking" to matter.

Water is the universal solvent. An hour or so in a 5 gal. bucket of distilled water will dissolve just about anything...other than some industrial strength adhesive.

Theres no way in hell soaking something would dissolve actual dried up juice or anything else for that matter.
By that logic we just need to soak dishes in water to get them clean.

You're wrong, deal with it.
