Ahhh spilt beer on my Lycosa and its playing up!!!

Not much you can do once the damage is done, turn it up side down to try and dry it out as best as possible over a few days.

Not sure if that keyboard uses PCB's or ribbons or a mix of both. If you can get access to the inside via screws on the bottom take it apart and give everything a rub down with some IPA, make sure everything is fully dried (use a lint free cloth) and cleaned and put it back together.

Sorry can't help more than that.
 
Right I managed to find a youtube clip on how to remove the keys. Pretty simple, i have just used water to clean it but its still stinks? Would a little bit of dish washing fluid help any??
 
What kind of beer?

Yeah mix a little with water and give it a try. What are the actually problems with the keyboard other than sticky smelly keys? :D Is it not responding with any key strikes?
 
Stick it in the dish washer - thats what I did... and didnt work :p

Seriously - I took it apart and rinsed everything in warm water and left it to dry - mine has a triple sheet of thin plastic and had to clean between each sheet too, dry COMPLETELY in between the sheets too.

If it's damp it wont work properly


Hey Presto working again

Is yours a lycosa???
 
Ladies and gentlemen. Can I just say time is a healer. For anyone who goes through this trauma f what I went through, all you have to do is leave your keyboard in the back bedroom and just before you throw it out! Plug it back in just to make sure it aint working. Hopefully, yours will do the same as mine! WORK WONDERS AGAIN!!! Well, that was after I re cleaned the keys for a second time as they were still sticky. Especially the space bar. Its a good day!
