If in 2 weeks it still is acting up, the only thing you can do is dissasemble. Put the wet one in a clean dry locations, you could put a fan blowing air, and give it 2 days, then test it again, prefer to not power it up when it is not working. The keys working erraticly (instead of not at all or stuck) more likly indicate that it is a very small ammount of water, that should be able to dry up, without dissasembly.įor more information, we need to know the model type, to even guess, but if you have another Kb laying around use it.
Taking it apart is not always easy because some of them have heat squished plastic rivets (one way assembly). You can't very well use things like hair dryers and heat guns, because the soft membrane and the plastic everywhere. One type of plastic grid layers under some of them. Because it forms a good seal between the flat PCB and the membrane there is no air passage, so the water takes a long time to dry. Because the top layer is water proof (even if it has areas that allows water entry) it will not dry quickly.
If it is a membrane keyboard, even small ammounts of water can slip under the membrane spread capilary style, and cause a problem like this.
