Need help!! Spilled soda on mechanical keyboard

[Jarrett_1]

I accidently knocked over my cup and pop spilled all over, it went very slightly into the mechanical keyboard then it started spassing out with random buttons and then the power went off and no keys work. I can't power the keyboard back on and I just paid $100 for this thing , is there anything I can do to fix it? It lights up so it's getting power but won't turn on

To start with: unplug from the computer!
The soda you are talking about, is this with sugar or not?

Then take the keyboard to the kitchen sink.
Now, if the the soda only contains water, let be there for at least 24, perhaps even 36 hours to let it dry.

If it contains sugar, or hobs and malt like a beer or coffee, well then it's more problematic.
You really had to loosen up the back panel, release all the buttons, and then do not use water, instead go to the local store and get some Isopropanol. That is an alcohol which will not damage the electronics at all.

Then soek it in, use the Isopropanol and a lint-free cloth to clean up every thing, especially the electrical contacts.
Then let it dry in room temperature for at least 24 to 36 hours.

There are a faster way how to dry it out, after you have followed my instruction above.
However, very dangerous and I will not take any responsibility if You can not follow my instructions to the letter.

Start the Oven in the kitchen, set it to approx or less than 75°C
Now put everything in there for about 6 hours. It will dry all the moisture out.

Best regards from Sweden

I tried plugging back in after using water and q tips to gently clean around the edges and the power lights flashed on then right off, still won't work. I can't believe just a tiny amount might have permanently broke it. It only got in where the number pad keys are especially where the delete key is
