Hunna Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 so recently i spilled liquid onto my keyboard. luckily, i was able to save the keyboard in time and it retains its full functionality, except for the LEDs. at first i thought the LEDs were completely dead, but when i started up my pc the next day, all the LEDs lit up for a brief moment until i got to the login screen. furthermore, i plugged the usb cable into a different port while the computer was off and the LEDs not only shone, but were cycling through different cool effects that i didnt have in utility engine (mostly because my only use for the lights on the keyboard are to see). when i turned the computer on while this was happening, the effects were still cycling but the keyboard wouldnt work. i plugged the keyboard back into the usb port it was originally in, then back into the other port and it yields the same results as if i never used a different port. no LEDs, functioning keyboard. im just wondering if this is an unfixable problem or not. i couldnt find anything on it so here i am. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inheritance Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 -Problems with Spilling Liquids on New Keyboard Your warranty is voided, so if you need to open the keyboard to clean it do so. Soak the keyboard in 70-99% isopropyl alcohol for 5 mins. Wipe any remaining residue with a cloth. Consider Investing in a Might Mug* [spill proof mug, or so they say] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider Investing in a Might Mug* [spill proof mug, or so they say] i've looked to this already, im only asking because of the circumstances. the LEDs turn on on boot, and the keyboard is still fully functional. re-read the thread please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Try a soft reset. Unplug the keyboard, Hold the ESC key down while plugging the keyboard back in. Is CUE running in the background? If so, try switching back to standard mode and see whether the lighting returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
