So let's rewind...my coffee gets spilt on keyboard.
I yank the keyboards USB to power down the keyboard. There is only one USB on this model.
I flip the keyboard instantly and drain what I can onto my desk which is a lot, but the keyboard is holding a fair bit in hard to get to places, I can just tell so I soak it in a bathtub full of luke warm water for 15mins to try and loosen anything (like coffee) that may have congealed under the spacebar. I can't tell if it worked so I jump on trying to dry it.
I go and get Chux towelettes to soak up what liquid I cannot reach, and what will not drain for whatever reason. I proceed to use over the next half an hour paper towels, ear cotton buds (for where my fingers couldn't fit), make up removal pads, kitchen sponges (clean & dry), a tea towell and finally a blow dryer (not on "inferno" setting either btw if you happen to be playing along at home with the same problem.
I then reassemble the whole unit and try it out only to get the same results. All good except for the space bar doesn't work.
I partially disassemble the keyboard again and leave it in a warm, drafty place to dry slowly incase I missed something, but I don't think I did.
After 7 days of beach bumming the keyboard goes in all revved up and raring to go, but again it dissappoints. Just that stupid spacebar again.
I have no idea if it can be repaired,
if it can be, is it a lot of $$$ to fix just one key?
Is this a dead pony? Should I just buy a new one tomorrow?
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
