anyone have advice on fixing a keyboard???

[WooHizzle]

i spilled water on my logitech keyboard last night, i took it apart and dried everything.

so far everything seems to be working except the delete key. which is extremely annoying. also, i can't hit the shift and control keys
simultaneous on the same side... is this just residual water? or do i need to go and get a new keyboard?

thanks.

It's probably just residual water, leave it open for another night and try it again.

Let it thoroughly dry like Thorin said. If it still doesn't work, just buy a new one and move the cup of water away from the keyboard.

You can let it dry, or look for gunk or fried parts in the mini printed circuit layer things.

In the past 5 years I've had this experience a couple times over. I've gotten keyboads working "better", but haven't ever been able to completely restore functionality. Last one I had would intermitently put caps lcok on.

Bah.

Keyboards are so cheap, just buy another one.
