Coffee spilled on keyboard!

Hi!
Someone told me that his keybaord isn't functioning well, after trying it myself I found that some keys and key combinations aren't working. I suspected a software issue first, language, encoding...etc
When all of that didn't work, I suspected that some liquid was spilled inside the keybaord and was affecting the circuitry

Today I decided to use the screw driver, and so I was happy to find out that my guesses were correct, I found black spots of coffee traces on the internal plate (or whatever you call it).

My question is: If I clean the spots with a wet cloth then dry them, would the keyboard be fine?

Note: It is only 2 weeks old.
Keybaord type: Chicony
Keybaord model: KB-0402


Amjad!

 

Shouldn't be a problem. Some here have used the dishwasher to clean them.

Nothing ventured nothing gained, at least it isn't chocolate syrup. Damp would be preferable to wet. Try to keep yourself static free when working with PCB,s, or any electronic components. Some retailers are good about recent purchases being returned, some are not. Funny no one seems to know how the Foreign Object Damage got there.

Yes, musksnipe, I remember reading this thread before. It was interesting.
But my situation is different, first, the coffee was hot, and second, they were discussing cleaning the keys and the top cover, not those plastic plates that hold the printed circuits.

:confused

 

Yeah, you always have to figure it out yourself.
No one will ever admit that he did it. (For example, when I faced the owner of the keyboard with the coffee fact, he was surprised as if an alien did it)

 

No they were putting the complete keyboard in the dishwasher. Check this out:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11029793

 

But I've just done it to the keyboard of a 6 week old Toshiba laptop!!

Any suggestions please...

You put your laptop in the dishwasher???

 

The thread is 7 years old.

The keyboard was removed from the laptop and placed in the dishwasher. :confusedrolleyes Go figure. I sure can't. :-D
