shmg Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 4 days ago I spilt a banana milkshake on my keyboard. It covered most of the middle from the uiop area right down to the space bar. After cleaning it, drying it etc. it is now almost fully functional. So let's get to the problem. It works fine in BIOS mode, but when I change it to the 1000hz/1msec it starts pressing keys on it's own. The keys it is pressing are tab(occasionally), ctrl(occasionally) ; and left arrow. Also, the media keys, mute, winlock or brightness keys don't work but the volume control does. I am not expecting a mircale and I know that most likely nothing can be done, but if anyone has had a similar issue and managed to fix it then your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. E: the keyboard in question is a Corsair CH-9101014-UK K70 Rapidfire Cherry MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted March 29, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 29, 2017 there is a guide around here somewhere. After a spillage, most people would uplug if and soak it in Isopropyl and let it dry for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmg Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have already done the cleaning and drying. I'd hazard a guess that it's to do with how I've put it back together although everything looks fine. I've bashed those keys until my hand hurt so don't think it's an issue with the switches and regardless, the milkshake went nowhere near ctrl tab or left arrow.

Inheritance Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 try reflashing the firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmg Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 After leaving it a day it is no longer pressing keys on it's own. Probably was a bit of liquid still in there. Media keys are still not working and neither are winlock and brightness. CUE is up to date, firmware up to date (forced it to reinstall latest), disabled and re-enabled Human Interface Device Service all to no avail. I'm happy to use the keyboard as is for now but any further suggestions are appreciated. -b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
