Keyboard Issues

Post by Kills On Site »

So basically I spilled a can of Dr. Pepper on my roommates LX710 keyboard. It was fine, but then the L started sticking, the key would depress and retun as it should but it would type 5 or 6 l's in rapid succession. So I cleaned it out ith some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. After that when you'd hit the period key it would continue putting in periods till the end of time. I tried washing all the keys and alcohol swabbing it all, but the problem with both the L and period keys won't go away. Any way to fix this? or does anyone know how to send in Logitech stuff for repair, I looked on their site but couldn't find anything too useful.

gah, its cordless?

i dont know if you should try this, but usually this is what i di with corded keyboards.

unplug the keyboard, put it in a HOT shower ( sink or shower, your call ).. Let the water run all through out the keyboard once you are 100% sure all of the pop'n'junk is out.

After you are done that, put it someware, and leave it for a bit, and flip it and try to get all of the Water out of it, you may also want to try a hair dryer in the mix as well..

i've done this with TWO WIRED keybaords and they where good for another year or two after.

But... Gah, with a cordless.. i dont know..


p.s. Logitech wont fix that, you broke it by spilling pop on it :/
