I'll try the compressed air route, Looking into the gap between the face and the board I can see dust in there still so I'll try and remove that. Hopefully that gets results before I venture down the soldering route.
A few days back my keyboard went haywire with most key presses inputting garbage. This was after I spilled a glass of water on my desk. I didn't think any got on the keyboard, but the two issues happened too close together to not be connected.
After a little while most of the keys returned to normal apart from a few, that have constantly been inputting bad characters.
The B
and V
key inputs BV
, the N
and M
key inputs NM
, and so on for the rest of the right adjacent keys. Then the NumPad -
and *
enter *-
.
I've opened up the keyboard and cleaned it of the usual dust using cotton swabs, tooth brush and 99% ISO alcohol, to no effect.
I can't get into the front side of the keyboard so can't be 100% that I've removed anything caught in there.
I'm wondering what next steps I might be able to take on this. I'm guessing there's some bridge between the affected keys causing this, though I don't really know as I've no experience in this.
Any tips?
