@@BenDavidsen bro I'm telling you it worked . I did it out of anger and it helped for a little bit. People may think I'm cappin but it's fax. I got a ducky board now so I'm good
My K70 (non-rbg) stopped working randomly earlier today. I didn't spill anything on it. Frustrated with the "just plug it in and hold escape" answers (spoiler: it didn't work), I ended up here. I simply took my board apart to inspect for damage, found none, reassembled it and it worked. Magical stuff. Thanks for the shortcuts with the screws.
Yes, move all drinks out of "sweep range". Make it so you have to use your arm almost fully extended and lean over to reach your drink. That way, if you turn because something caught your attention like a over boiling saucepan etc, you don't sweep your desk surface and take your drink out with that action.
Had my k70 for 2 weeks before I spilled coffee on it. Quickly unplugged it and dried it off the best I could but after plugging it back in, F7 would just flash, or sometimes not register at all. Took it apart and dried out the remaining liquid and it worked great. Thanks for pointing out the screw locations under the label and over by the volume dial, I probably would have just given up.
Thanks for this vid, helped me fix mine after spilling a tiny bit of coke over the spacebar (the exact place they put a random unnecessary hole to the main board). Frustrating that you cant access the other side of the board without de-soldering so I just sprayed a good amount of compressed air throughout after getting it all apart. Seriously Corsair get rid of that stupid gap under the spacebar and spilled drinks wont be a problem in future!
Bryan Desrosiers i was eating oreo with some milk and i USE a fork to take out the oreo and the fork is heavyer that the plastic glass and so fel and spilled over the keyboard
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING THE LITTLE RUBBER PIECE!!! i put mine back together and my media keys wernt working but i opened it back up and put the rubber piece in and now im all good!
I think thats why my media switch keys aren't working. So all he did was cover the board with rubbing alcohol. I thought water damage literally breaks something, because my alt key doesn't work, while the led for it works
Thanks man, I spilled some water on my k70 rgb. All I did as screw it apart as you showed, then used a hair dryer on low heat for 5 min. Works perfect, thanks again! :)
Dropped an entire liter of water on my keyboard in the middle of gaming, unplugged and dried after about a day still had issues, followed your video and was working like new in 2 hours! You’re a life saver great vid!
Side notes- I am using a mk2 so it works for the newer versions, and i didn’t have to remove the parts you disconnected in your video from the back of the keyboard
Cheers man. Saved my K70 after a spill. Kids thought it was funny shaking my beer up! I didn't laugh... Disassemble and a hairdryer did it for me! Thanks!!
I spilled milk on mine and this video helped me get it working. my k70 had a seperate plastic piece that this video doesn't show but another video by RDAllen showed where it belongs yet this video helped and my key board works like a champ. a quick note "don't jam the keys back on work them back in as if you were typing normal key strokes".
Thanks! Knowing where those hidden screws are and being aware of the connection thingy at 8:02 was so helpful. I'm up and running again after a few days of disassembled drying. 👍
I've spilled at least half a dozen drinks on my K70. Every time, I unplugged it and elevated it to let the liquid drain. Somehow by the grace of god and luck, all the keys functioned and leds worked after a day of drying out. Truly built like a tank. Best $200 i ever spent.
I had this problem on my K70 RGB. My keyboard was way out of warranty. I'd spilt coke on mine and the PCB was covered in dry coke. The keyboard kept randomly pressing alt and would do it more when the LEDs were on full brightness. I didn't have much hope for the keyboard but cleaning up the PCB and then the rest of the keys, it works good as new! Appreciate this video, very helpful.
Can someone tell me where the white little plastic piece that you can see at minute 7:18 next to the alcohol bottle belongs to? I am confused from where it came out.
@@enricodecicco5604 found a comment much further down - it goes between the smaller pcb and the plate where the num lock/caps lights are. I was looking for the same thing.
I learned a trick from Linus Tech Tips. I spilled part of a bowl of soup on mine. After I stripped all the keycaps off the keyboard I put the keyboard in the dishwasher key side down and put it through a pot scrubber load with no heat. After I got it out of the dishwasher I laid the keyboard key side down on a towel for 5 days. That's when no liquid came out of the keys when pressed. Put the keycaps back on and surprisingly enough the thing worked.
Very nice video. One of the most popular keyboards on the market, and probably the best keyboard I've had. Unfortunately I spilt some Dr Pepper on the bottom left section today, making the alt spam by itself (making it completely unusable). I took it apart as shown in the video and was met by a considerable amount of ash and tobacco, near where I spilt the Dr Pepper was a lump of wet tobacco and other nasties. Cleaned the whole thing with just a standard wet wipe (advertised as suitable for electronics). I reassembled it after drying with a cloth and hair dryer and it worked first time perfectly, probably better than before. The removal of the logo and volume cap to access the screws is actually a lot easier than you'd think. Just make sure you find the rubber contact strip as mentioned and also a plastic strip which goes under where the num lock etc lights are. Lifesaver
Absolute life saver! My friend had spilled beer all over the keyboard and it stopped working. Followed the video using a hair dryer and can of compressed air and it's as good as new now!
you saved my keyboard thanks! seems I have a slightly different version than yours tho. Also spilled a mass amount of coffee on it, opened it up, cleaned it to the video's instructions you gave, reassembled, and now it works (but it seems I need some pneumatic oil for my N key which registers more than one keypress sometimes)
thank you for the video I was stuck trying to find the 2 hidden screws after my wife knocked a glass of coke over my ten key area last night... having a much thinner liquid than your coffee made my clean up a little messier and stickier but with the ISO prop soaking through the keys ATM to dislodge the coke I am hoping the rest will go as smoothly for me as yours did.
I'll probably figure it out before I get an answer but at 5:09 there is another small plastic piece, where does it go? I have the other piece that pushes the contact down but this other piece is plastic, not rubbery like the other, it has 3 prongs in it It doesn't seem to go in the same spot as the rubbery piece on the other side of the keyboard... Edit, yeah that piece goes in the holes for the 3 lights near the volume wheel...
posting I did what the video said but just opened it up saw the water and blow dried it put it back together and it works. Except the lights and the 3 lock keys on the top are flashing. How do I fix
For anyone who doubts this method of cleaning, IT WORKS! I let my keyboard sit with def spilt liquid (alt, shift, escape were all spazzing out) for about a week. Its easier than it seems. I didn't disconnect the cables for the function board, just went over the board with a soft hog bristle brush (which I purchased for sneakers). Although it all depends on where you think the damage is at, because I looked over the board and it wasn't near the FUNCTION keys. If you think its near there, you should probably disassemble the top portion and clean it. Let it dry on it's own for 2-3 days, re-assembled, and everything is A-OK!!! Thank you to @arcadeuk for the video! By the way, if you have the older version that has the CORSAIR logo instead of the CORSAIR GAMING logo, there is STILL A SCREW underneath the film. Just take a hair dryer and hit it with heat for about 3-5 minutes, take an exacto knife, and when it gets warm, carefully peal it off so you don't fuck up the sticker. Thanks again for the great video arcadeuk!!!
Excellent job mate. Great you mentioned the little plastic thing that fell off onto the ground. The same thing happened here, but had no idea where it came from. Couldn't have done a better job to clearly explain and show how do to this. It is quite annoying cannot remove the PCB from the top side without soldiering each individual key indeed. Who knows what it may show
Thanks for the help homie, I got this for Christmas and spilt an entire glass of water on it the next day and it started shitting. I did everything you said and now it works! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HUGE THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!silly me spilled juice all over my hyperx keyboard and I panicked, pulled it apart clean the juice off, died it and its all working perfect again.
This helped me tons, I couldn't find that last pesky screw on the upper right corner by the volume controls. I ended up having to take mine apart a few times because I didn't test my keys (some needed extra attention), and I had forgotten to put the screws back in before the keys. I learned that, unless you need to clean under them all, you don't need to remove every key, just the ones that have screws under them. And you can see the screws with a flashlight.
Wow, look at those "white plastic connector braces" (of planned obsolescense). Just wow, Corsair. Lot's of tricky little landmines/gotchas in this hardware. From the hidden screws, the rounded volume wheel screw cover, etc etc. Looks really easy to break without knowing right away what you've done.
Last night i knocked my cup of beer over, spilling a small amount right into the keyboard area. Almost instantly, the keyboard lost all power and was unresponsive. Thinking I had just ruined a $200 keyboard I shut off my PC and went to bed in a terrible mood. Had almost no hope that this would fix my K70 but thought it was worth a shot before spending another $200. And it fucking worked. unbelievable. thank you so much man!!!!!!!
My friends cat spilled her drink on her razor huntsman. She bought a mini and said I can have her old keyboard if I can fix it (fixing old tech is my hobby, I’ve never fixed a keyboard before) Thanks
Thanks for this! Used this to repair (dry) mine after I accidentally spilt a bit of water on it. Put it all back together and now it is working like it should. Now to go back to playing Cyberpunk!
I used to use a Unicomp buckling springs keyboard as my main and it got water spilled on it, boxed it up until I could get around to fixing it and on a whim I plugged it in a few months later, good as new. Those things are solid.
A...thanks for pointing out the 2 hidden screws.Was wondering why it won't budge. And yes, I too have baptized the keyboard on Christmas Eve... what a joy that was.Hopefully will work after it finishes drying (takes longer as I used water too)
+RealDarkBlade Use a fan/heater/dehumidifer or anything you can to speed up the drying, the less time it is wet the less likely it is to corrode. Also you really should use isopropyl for this sort of thing as it displaces water to some extent
+arcadeuk I disassembled my k95 RGB to swap a red switch for a blue and to de-solder the switch and re-solder but now the keyboard isn't working.. it lights up but doesn't type anything or change volume. help??
Wow thank you so much. My cat just spilled a beer on my K70 LUX cherry red keyboard tonight when I wasn't looking. $120 down the drain, I thought, but I followed all your instructions and used compressed air and it worked great! Just FYI I did not take off that top extra part on the PCB board. I just left it intact and blew compressed air under it best as I could. Everything works perfectly now. My keyboard is a couple or 3 years old now and it was disgusting and full of hair & debris inside so honestly it was good to take the whole thing apart and clean it anyway. Good as new now. Cheers!
At 7:10 ish, where does that white plastic piece go thats sitting next to the alcohol? i have 2 smaller pieces for my k95 and have no idea where they go back in to the keyboard...
Great guide for a best practice, thorough repair, if you have the equipment to hand. If like me however you're not a hardware head and dont have access to special alcohol solution, or indeed even the tools needed to dismantle, you may find success with a more ghetto solution. I had one switch firing off erroneously, no lighting malfunction. It was sufficient for me to: - Unplug as soon as I noticed the spill caused an issue. - Remove the keycaps. - Dust with compressed air. (For cleaning mainly, probably didnt contribute to the fix) - Hold a hairdryer on low setting just over the affected key for a period of time. (On and off for about 15 mins) It may be wise to after attempting to dry for a period, open Windows' On Screen Keyboard. This way you can see immediately when plugging in if any keys are still firing incorrectly and unplug again quickly if so to avoid further damage.
Hey thanks for this tip. Like you I didn't have the necessary tools to be able to just take my keyboard apart. I tried using a hairdryer like you said and it seems to have worked!
Quick tip for Corsair Keyboards: Don't just pull the caps off with your fingers. The plastic around their stems is super flimsy and while you can usually do that with good quality caps the newer corsair ones(2017+) will let you do that two or three times before starting to break.
I spilled a small amount of tea on my K70 RGB Rapidfire (I caught the cup as it fell so only a little bit fell out) and I had to remove just about the middle portion of the keycaps, cleaned it up (removed the tea before it became sticky, and cleaned off the keycaps) then reseated the keycaps and the keyboard basically works like new, no weird glitches or repeating keys to my surprise.
Spilled gravy all over my Strafe RGB, yes gravy! I didn't unplug it right away since I thought it only spilled on the keys not inside but then the LEDs start flickering and changing color on their own lol. Unplugged it, opened it up and brush it with a mix of warm water and alcohol, after 3 days of drying it's good as new! Well, except for the broken clips when I opened thhe face plate lol Thanks for this!
I spilled the slightest bit of milk on the corner of my computer and it proceeded to type a bunch of numbers. I got the milk off the top bits then turned it upside-down. will that be enough?
Thank you very much for the video! My keyboard literally was drowned in tea (no sugar). So I have taken it apart save for the upper side of the interior. And then the hairdryer did the trick. I am actually typing this with my keyboard to test it and to thank you for it.
Thank you so much for this video. Last night i spilled a whole glass of soda on my keyboard, and i thought it was busted. But I followed your video, and let it dry over night on my radiator, and now it works. The only problem I have is that some keys is really sticky now. But I can live with that.
2:35 I can't seem to get the keyboard to fully close even though it looks like i got the screw in all the way. And now media keys do not work. what the hell am i doing wrong? Was initially trying to fix ctrl key which does not work due to water damage. Although the led still works. Thought it was just a matter of replacing the key switch. So essentially all you did was cover the green board thing inside with rubbing alcohol?
i spilt coffee on my k70 and flipped it upside down instantly then i lwft it all night in the mornung stripped all keys off and cleand with baby wipes lol again left to dry for several hours and it works fine i would highly recomend corsair products so sturdy
My K70 has taken 4 major spills. On each occasion all I did was let it dry out for about 48hrs, and it went right back to working perfectly. Tough keyboards.
Hey man thank you for this video. I had same issue happen to me spilled coffee. I did the same process as you and put berthing back together. Works like brand new!
Nice work (not the spill, the cleaning up) =D That's a nice keyboard - I like the way you can change the colour of the keys there! It's annoying when they put screw points under labels and stuff.
+GadgetUK164 You can do all sorts of crazy animations with it, but to be honest it is best used for highlighting the action keys in certain games, the animations are just distracting. It's certainly built well, but not so much easy to maintain. That said if you needed to replace a key switch, it is certainly doable, just a pain to disassemble. Surely the screws could have gone on the back?
I'm late to the party but yeah had to clean mine and jesus it was not easy compared to my realforce87u haha what a pain. I love the speed switches tho, they really feel amazing especially with some Orings
My keyboard isn't broken but it does have one rgb light broken, right in the middle 5 on the numpad so it really sticks out. Hoping a bit of poking about with my soldering iron might do something
Thanks for the brush idea, qtips were failing, yet partially fixed improper keystroke action, was getting surrounding keys being input along with whatever key I pressed. Took a toothbrush to all the PCBs on the K60, mainboard and the 2 or 3 other ones at the top. 90% isopropyl alcohol dissolved the issue like a champion! A quick test shows everything seems to be correct, going to get an o-ring set or two to quiet the thing down and it should be a dream until an rgb speed silver board. yeehaw.
Thanks you saved my keyboard, similar thing spilt some stuff on the lower keys and lights went out on the arrow keys aside of the M key, then all went out and could not type. I managed to get it apart and my hidden screw was under a Corsair badge, which as mine brushed aluminum looks as though its polished but as you did warm mine with a hair dryer and got a very small flat headed screwdriver under it and peeled it back the badge.
Thank you so much dude. My nephew spilled some apple juice on my pok3r and I lost all hope once it stopped being detected by my computer. Then I found your video and rubbed it down with isopropyl alchohol, and its good as new. Again thanks a ton, I would have been out $120 if it were'nt for you.
what is that plastic thing above the keyboard at 5:08? It is not the rubber thing he shows at 8:35 that holds the contacts. It's a different plastic piece that fell out of my keyboard and I have no idea where it came from. I spilled a drink on my keyboard and some keys weren't working, but the backlight was still working fine. I disassemlbed it and cleaned it and put it back together without the white plastic thing and the backlight isn't working anymore, but everything else does. Can someone help?
Did you ever find out where that plastic piece goes? Found the same part but my RBG still works fine without it but I am having problems with my control panel working even though that other rubber part is in its spot.
No I didn't, sorry. My backlight started working on it's own later. I guess it just wasn't completely dry. I assembled the keyboard without the part and everything is working fine now. The media keys too. I don't think the plastic thing makes a difference. You could try opening it up again and checking if everything is plugged in correctly or if you spilled something over that part it might need to dry more like my backlight. Good luck man and if you find out where that thing goes you can let me know :)
Yeah I think it just wasn't making a complete connection since I was testing it without completely putting it back together yet until I found out about the plastic part. Everything is working fine again now though =).
Thanks for this video! Yesterday i spilled a whole glass of red wine over the keyboard and windows went bananas. With the help of your video I was able to disassemble the thing and clean it up as much as possible. As an added tip (you mentioned it briefly): use (lots of) isopropanol. I found out that wine got inside the cherry domes. I poured isopropanol over them until the stuff didn't get red from the wine anymore. Left it to dry and re-assembled. Seems to be fine now :)
I spilled stuff onto my k70 multiples times and the keys got relatively sticky. Destilled water always worked for me. Leaving it in warm destilled water to desolve residue in the keys should also be a good solution. When you flush the keys with destilled water or isopropyl alcohol just repeatedly push the keys to get them clean, and give it enough time to dry out completely before you connect it again.
I just recently as in 20 min ago, I spilled a good amount of water on my keyboard. I went to get some towels and paper because the water went everywhere, Its 00:00 here ATM, and I've got school tomorrow so cannot clean it now, I let all the water drip out and wrapped it in a towel. At first it worked with the water, then I told my mom and when I got back there was a delay on caps and sometime it didn't respond, the same as the volume scroll thingy, what should I do? Is it a stupid idea to just leave it drying?
Tks for the enlightenment, but I have an alternative solution that worked for me... I took the keys out, but without screwing or open the keyboard, I upside down it, and used my mom's hairdryer. At first, I turn the heat on (taking care to not melt all the plastic), focusing especially in the areas who were wet and the little gap that exists because of the large keys. Finally, I used a normal fan on the floor, to blow my keyboard upside down for about 3 hours. In the end, all was responsive again, with no living keys, activating randomly. Hope this works for you too, cause open all this is a mess.
spilled my coffee like 3 drops on the right side and there was a loose switch and then it spammed my numbers on the numbad following the whole second row stopped working. will see if works.
Idk why but my keyboard of literally the same model i dont have a removable sticker i have an indent in the metal with the icon cut out. I can't open my keyboard at all. Also when I was trying to get it open a similar little piece of plastic fell out and i dont know what to do now. send help. Uodate: the small plastic piece wasn't even part of the keyboard. Crisis averted.
This is great, but one quick question. There was another, harder plastic white strip above your keyboard while you were working on it. Have any idea where that goes, because it doesn’t fit in the opposite slot of the rubber white strip that you found on the floor. Thanks for this!
I fixed mine by noticing and 'lock' symbol was lighted in the middle of the top row. So I clicked the other lighted 'lock' icon button to the left of the top row. The WINDOWS key works again so I can copy/past on my Mac again. I had hit the LOCK button while drying it and didn't realize it. The space bar still feels sticky though.
bubbles were spilled on my keyboard, didn't realize right away tho so im not to sure how long they were on it. wasn't sure what to do, it was spelling random letters by itself, never had this happen before so I just unplugged it an let it dry in front of a fan for a couple hours. tried plugging it back to check if it works but it did absolutely nothing! how would I go about cleaning it if I don't have that alcohol or anything on hand...? need help ASAP please!
Could anyone please help identify the white plastic part that appears at 5’9, above the keyboard? It is not the rubber support but of an plastic nature. Mine fall out when I pry open my K70, so I didn’t get a look at where this part goes. Any pointer is appreciated.
Thanks, fixed my k65 rgb compact using your clip. Of course (typically me) i had a spare part. It worked out to be the cover for the LED lights for CapsLock and the other light. I thought: wth not going to disassemble that whole stupid thing again just for a cover. Left it off and it works fine again. Energy drinks and keyboards do not go together. Now, the right light keeps blinking and my LED shiny things stopped working, that's something electronic, probably the flatcables that are effed while trying to put them back. sausage fingers and tiny, flexible, fragile, little, pesky cables do not work together either. The rest works fine, so, big Thanks, saved me £110 today and i can live with a red keyboard.
I spilled water on my k95 and the preset buttons (m1 m2 m3) aren't working and neither is the macro button. when I took the keyboard apart it was a little damp in that area. currently letting everything air-dry hopefully it still works in the morning
Can using a hairdryer destroy a keyboard my boyfriend has the same keyboard and has spilt soft drink on it ive pulled all the keys off and cleaned the keyboard but it’s still slightly wet ?
Hi I'm not sure if anyone still checks this but i spilled coffee over my k70, i've removed all screws but one, the one under the corsair logo, if i slightly heat it up and remove it would I still be able to put it back?
Hey just wondering, where does the white plastic piece with the 3 nubs go (not the rubber piece)? You can see it on your desk I this video at the top of the screen starting at 5:11.
Nevermind! Figured it out after digging through the comments. It belongs between the aluminum plate and the top portion of the board where the caps, number, and scroll lock leds are. The three nubs should fit in the holes in the aluminum.
Please help , like 2 Hours ago I spilled a Glass of Water all over my Corsair K70 , my S and W Keys are not working anymore , can I fix them with that trick? I already removed the Key Caps and cleaned everything up , but it didnt help , if that doesnt work for keys that are not working anymore , should i try to send they keyboard back?
+Hendrik Hendrikson It's probably about as good as a keyboard gets to be honest (if you don't chuck drinks over it) the key switches are arguably the best you can get, and it is very solid. The RGB LED's are over the top extravagant, so if you don't need them, the single colour ones are much cheaper. I got mine on holiday in the US as they are much cheaper there than the UK. So I would say you should go for it if you can
My Corsair K70 Cherry Red doesn't have the big rectangle logo in the top center. Instead it has a more streamlined logo that is fit to the letters with the Sail design off to the left. I'm going to begin disassembling it tonight to start the cleaning/dry out process. I was wondering if there was a safe way to remove the logo like you had to, but without the fancy heating tools that I don't have.
+FrenzyGaming I would say getting a thin knife or razor blade under the logo would be best, and keeping the blade as flat as possible so as not to bend the logo. Also I am jealous as I would rather have the classic Corsair sail, rather than the teenagers tramp stamp of a logo
+FrenzyGaming I think everyone has made it clear on the Corsair forums that they hate the tramp stamp, but I bet they spent millions on designing it and refuse to go back now. It's very silly to change a well recognised brang logo to something completely different for no good reason, especially without market research
My Vengeance K95 was non functional after I spilled beer over it (it lit up but was just blinking on numlock, capslock, scrollock) and no key presses registered. so it took it apart and shaked it around and pressed all the keys a few times while having it under water, then pressed all the keys out of water to dry it off as much as possible. Afterwards I left it on it's side overnight and low and behold it now works completely fine.
I smashed mine a few times and it worked. No joke
Update : Doesnt work anymore
XD
LOL
lmao! be gentle with your stuff guys
No joke this actualy worked for me, had malfunctuning random "R" after removing the cap, and smashing the socket a few time it now works
@@BenDavidsen bro I'm telling you it worked . I did it out of anger and it helped for a little bit. People may think I'm cappin but it's fax. I got a ducky board now so I'm good
My K70 (non-rbg) stopped working randomly earlier today. I didn't spill anything on it. Frustrated with the "just plug it in and hold escape" answers (spoiler: it didn't work), I ended up here.
I simply took my board apart to inspect for damage, found none, reassembled it and it worked. Magical stuff. Thanks for the shortcuts with the screws.
Huge thanks, 6 years later this is still useful, just saved my k70 lux thanks to your video!
No more late night red wine close the the keyboard 😅
Yes, move all drinks out of "sweep range". Make it so you have to use your arm almost fully extended and lean over to reach your drink. That way, if you turn because something caught your attention like a over boiling saucepan etc, you don't sweep your desk surface and take your drink out with that action.
Had my k70 for 2 weeks before I spilled coffee on it. Quickly unplugged it and dried it off the best I could but after plugging it back in, F7 would just flash, or sometimes not register at all. Took it apart and dried out the remaining liquid and it worked great. Thanks for pointing out the screw locations under the label and over by the volume dial, I probably would have just given up.
Thanks for this vid, helped me fix mine after spilling a tiny bit of coke over the spacebar (the exact place they put a random unnecessary hole to the main board). Frustrating that you cant access the other side of the board without de-soldering so I just sprayed a good amount of compressed air throughout after getting it all apart.
Seriously Corsair get rid of that stupid gap under the spacebar and spilled drinks wont be a problem in future!
Unfortunately you can't get rid of the gap, it's for the stabilizers to fit in.

The next $ you spend should be on a CamelBak
Thank you so much for making this video. I would never have found the two hidden screws without it.
I had this problem on my K70 RGB. My keyboard was way out of warranty. I'd spilt coke on mine and the PCB was covered in dry coke. The keyboard kept randomly pressing alt and would do it more when the LEDs were on full brightness. I didn't have much hope for the keyboard but cleaning up the PCB and then the rest of the keys, it works good as new! Appreciate this video, very helpful.
Here in 2021 using your guide to fix my K70 that I also spilled coffee on. Thanks mate!
Can someone tell me where the white little plastic piece that you can see at minute 7:18 next to the alcohol bottle belongs to? I am confused from where it came out.
Wondering the same, not a single video shows where it goes. Either its really obvious or everyone is just guessing
@@ThePowerOf1996 my keyboard is still disassembled because of this xD
@@enricodecicco5604 found a comment much further down - it goes between the smaller pcb and the plate where the num lock/caps lights are. I was looking for the same thing.
@@av47ar- yo man appreciated. Thank you so much :3
I learned a trick from Linus Tech Tips. I spilled part of a bowl of soup on mine. After I stripped all the keycaps off the keyboard I put the keyboard in the dishwasher key side down and put it through a pot scrubber load with no heat. After I got it out of the dishwasher I laid the keyboard key side down on a towel for 5 days. That's when no liquid came out of the keys when pressed. Put the keycaps back on and surprisingly enough the thing worked.
Very nice video. One of the most popular keyboards on the market, and probably the best keyboard I've had. Unfortunately I spilt some Dr Pepper on the bottom left section today, making the alt spam by itself (making it completely unusable). I took it apart as shown in the video and was met by a considerable amount of ash and tobacco, near where I spilt the Dr Pepper was a lump of wet tobacco and other nasties. Cleaned the whole thing with just a standard wet wipe (advertised as suitable for electronics). I reassembled it after drying with a cloth and hair dryer and it worked first time perfectly, probably better than before. The removal of the logo and volume cap to access the screws is actually a lot easier than you'd think. Just make sure you find the rubber contact strip as mentioned and also a plastic strip which goes under where the num lock etc lights are. Lifesaver
Absolute life saver! My friend had spilled beer all over the keyboard and it stopped working. Followed the video using a hair dryer and can of compressed air and it's as good as new now!
Robert Priestley Omg did this actually work cause I just didn’t the same tonight hair dryer and compressed air works ?
you saved my keyboard thanks! seems I have a slightly different version than yours tho. Also spilled a mass amount of coffee on it, opened it up, cleaned it to the video's instructions you gave, reassembled, and now it works (but it seems I need some pneumatic oil for my N key which registers more than one keypress sometimes)
The white piece at 6:04 I am having difficulty remember where it goes back into the keyboard. Can anyone help?
thanks.
Same here
It goes over the lights
"1 A ↓" next to mute button
thank you for the video I was stuck trying to find the 2 hidden screws after my wife knocked a glass of coke over my ten key area last night... having a much thinner liquid than your coffee made my clean up a little messier and stickier but with the ISO prop soaking through the keys ATM to dislodge the coke I am hoping the rest will go as smoothly for me as yours did.
I'll probably figure it out before I get an answer but at 5:09 there is another small plastic piece, where does it go? I have the other piece that pushes the contact down but this other piece is plastic, not rubbery like the other, it has 3 prongs in it
It doesn't seem to go in the same spot as the rubbery piece on the other side of the keyboard...
Edit, yeah that piece goes in the holes for the 3 lights near the volume wheel...
thanks!
Omg dude, thank ou, I love you.
THANKYOU!!!
I just broke the volume wheel.........fuck
posting I did what the video said but just opened it up saw the water and blow dried it put it back together and it works. Except the lights and the 3 lock keys on the top are flashing. How do I fix
You're a lifesaver for this video my British friend
For anyone who doubts this method of cleaning, IT WORKS! I let my keyboard sit with def spilt liquid (alt, shift, escape were all spazzing out) for about a week. Its easier than it seems. I didn't disconnect the cables for the function board, just went over the board with a soft hog bristle brush (which I purchased for sneakers). Although it all depends on where you think the damage is at, because I looked over the board and it wasn't near the FUNCTION keys. If you think its near there, you should probably disassemble the top portion and clean it.
Let it dry on it's own for 2-3 days, re-assembled, and everything is A-OK!!!
Thank you to @arcadeuk for the video! By the way, if you have the older version that has the CORSAIR logo instead of the CORSAIR GAMING logo, there is STILL A SCREW underneath the film. Just take a hair dryer and hit it with heat for about 3-5 minutes, take an exacto knife, and when it gets warm, carefully peal it off so you don't fuck up the sticker. Thanks again for the great video arcadeuk!!!
Excellent job mate. Great you mentioned the little plastic thing that fell off onto the ground. The same thing happened here, but had no idea where it came from. Couldn't have done a better job to clearly explain and show how do to this. It is quite annoying cannot remove the PCB from the top side without soldiering each individual key indeed. Who knows what it may show
Thanks for the help homie, I got this for Christmas and spilt an entire glass of water on it the next day and it started shitting. I did everything you said and now it works! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HUGE THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!silly me spilled juice all over my hyperx keyboard and I panicked, pulled it apart clean the juice off, died it and its all working perfect again.
just had the same problem with my k70, just woke up, reasambled it and it works! Thanks for your video, helped alot!
This helped me tons, I couldn't find that last pesky screw on the upper right corner by the volume controls. I ended up having to take mine apart a few times because I didn't test my keys (some needed extra attention), and I had forgotten to put the screws back in before the keys. I learned that, unless you need to clean under them all, you don't need to remove every key, just the ones that have screws under them. And you can see the screws with a flashlight.
Wow, look at those "white plastic connector braces" (of planned obsolescense). Just wow, Corsair. Lot's of tricky little landmines/gotchas in this hardware. From the hidden screws, the rounded volume wheel screw cover, etc etc. Looks really easy to break without knowing right away what you've done.
Last night i knocked my cup of beer over, spilling a small amount right into the keyboard area. Almost instantly, the keyboard lost all power and was unresponsive. Thinking I had just ruined a $200 keyboard I shut off my PC and went to bed in a terrible mood. Had almost no hope that this would fix my K70 but thought it was worth a shot before spending another $200. And it fucking worked. unbelievable. thank you so much man!!!!!!!
My friends cat spilled her drink on her razor huntsman. She bought a mini and said I can have her old keyboard if I can fix it (fixing old tech is my hobby, I’ve never fixed a keyboard before)
Thanks
How did it go?
Thanks for this! Used this to repair (dry) mine after I accidentally spilt a bit of water on it. Put it all back together and now it is working like it should. Now to go back to playing Cyberpunk!
I used to use a Unicomp buckling springs keyboard as my main and it got water spilled on it, boxed it up until I could get around to fixing it and on a whim I plugged it in a few months later, good as new. Those things are solid.
A...thanks for pointing out the 2 hidden screws.Was wondering why it won't budge. And yes, I too have baptized the keyboard on Christmas Eve... what a joy that was.Hopefully will work after it finishes drying (takes longer as I used water too)
+RealDarkBlade Use a fan/heater/dehumidifer or anything you can to speed up the drying, the less time it is wet the less likely it is to corrode. Also you really should use isopropyl for this sort of thing as it displaces water to some extent
+arcadeuk I disassembled my k95 RGB to swap a red switch for a blue and to de-solder the switch and re-solder but now the keyboard isn't working.. it lights up but doesn't type anything or change volume. help??
Wow thank you so much. My cat just spilled a beer on my K70 LUX cherry red keyboard tonight when I wasn't looking. $120 down the drain, I thought, but I followed all your instructions and used compressed air and it worked great! Just FYI I did not take off that top extra part on the PCB board. I just left it intact and blew compressed air under it best as I could. Everything works perfectly now. My keyboard is a couple or 3 years old now and it was disgusting and full of hair & debris inside so honestly it was good to take the whole thing apart and clean it anyway. Good as new now. Cheers!
Dude thank you so much for this video without it I'd probably have panic bought a new keyboard.
I have yet to spill anything on my K70 but if I do, I know how to take it apart now.
At 7:10 ish, where does that white plastic piece go thats sitting next to the alcohol? i have 2 smaller pieces for my k95 and have no idea where they go back in to the keyboard...
Great guide for a best practice, thorough repair, if you have the equipment to hand. If like me however you're not a hardware head and dont have access to special alcohol solution, or indeed even the tools needed to dismantle, you may find success with a more ghetto solution.
I had one switch firing off erroneously, no lighting malfunction. It was sufficient for me to:
- Unplug as soon as I noticed the spill caused an issue.
- Remove the keycaps.
- Dust with compressed air. (For cleaning mainly, probably didnt contribute to the fix)
- Hold a hairdryer on low setting just over the affected key for a period of time. (On and off for about 15 mins)
It may be wise to after attempting to dry for a period, open Windows' On Screen Keyboard. This way you can see immediately when plugging in if any keys are still firing incorrectly and unplug again quickly if so to avoid further damage.
Hey thanks for this tip. Like you I didn't have the necessary tools to be able to just take my keyboard apart. I tried using a hairdryer like you said and it seems to have worked!
Quick tip for Corsair Keyboards: Don't just pull the caps off with your fingers. The plastic around their stems is super flimsy and while you can usually do that with good quality caps the newer corsair ones(2017+) will let you do that two or three times before starting to break.
Yup! I agree, I've been fixing mine super carefully with nail glue 💀 girl power igs
My left shift got stuck after I spilled some coke on my K70 RGB. You saved me dude, much appreciated!
I spilled a small amount of tea on my K70 RGB Rapidfire (I caught the cup as it fell so only a little bit fell out) and I had to remove just about the middle portion of the keycaps, cleaned it up (removed the tea before it became sticky, and cleaned off the keycaps) then reseated the keycaps and the keyboard basically works like new, no weird glitches or repeating keys to my surprise.
Spilled gravy all over my Strafe RGB, yes gravy! I didn't unplug it right away since I thought it only spilled on the keys not inside but then the LEDs start flickering and changing color on their own lol. Unplugged it, opened it up and brush it with a mix of warm water and alcohol, after 3 days of drying it's good as new! Well, except for the broken clips when I opened thhe face plate lol Thanks for this!
I spilled the slightest bit of milk on the corner of my computer and it proceeded to type a bunch of numbers. I got the milk off the top bits then turned it upside-down. will that be enough?
Dude I have the same problem did it work?
spilt like 3 drops of spripe on my keyboard. Made its way to my v key and now it doesnt work at all, video doesnt help either, plz halp me
Thank you very much for the video!
My keyboard literally was drowned in tea (no sugar). So I have taken it apart save for the upper side of the interior. And then the hairdryer did the trick.
I am actually typing this with my keyboard to test it and to thank you for it.
Thank you so much for this video. Last night i spilled a whole glass of soda on my keyboard, and i thought it was busted. But I followed your video, and let it dry over night on my radiator, and now it works. The only problem I have is that some keys is really sticky now. But I can live with that.
2:35 I can't seem to get the keyboard to fully close even though it looks like i got the screw in all the way. And now media keys do not work. what the hell am i doing wrong? Was initially trying to fix ctrl key which does not work due to water damage. Although the led still works. Thought it was just a matter of replacing the key switch. So essentially all you did was cover the green board thing inside with rubbing alcohol?
i spilt coffee on my k70 and flipped it upside down instantly then i lwft it all night in the mornung stripped all keys off and cleand with baby wipes lol again left to dry for several hours and it works fine i would highly recomend corsair products so sturdy
you saved my DAY! my K70 vengenace could be opened in the same way. i didn't expext the screws beneath the sticker and the volume knob.
My K70 has taken 4 major spills. On each occasion all I did was let it dry out for about 48hrs, and it went right back to working perfectly. Tough keyboards.
Spilled vape juice in mine. Followed this video and so far it's like new again. Thanks broseph
Hey man thank you for this video. I had same issue happen to me spilled coffee. I did the same process as you and put berthing back together. Works like brand new!
Nice work (not the spill, the cleaning up) =D That's a nice keyboard - I like the way you can change the colour of the keys there! It's annoying when they put screw points under labels and stuff.
+GadgetUK164 You can do all sorts of crazy animations with it, but to be honest it is best used for highlighting the action keys in certain games, the animations are just distracting. It's certainly built well, but not so much easy to maintain. That said if you needed to replace a key switch, it is certainly doable, just a pain to disassemble. Surely the screws could have gone on the back?
+arcadeuk and how, I have the k95 RGB with the blue switches right now, the macro keys they bolted onto the side make it even harder to maintain.
I'm late to the party but yeah had to clean mine and jesus it was not easy compared to my realforce87u haha what a pain. I love the speed switches tho, they really feel amazing especially with some Orings
My keyboard isn't broken but it does have one rgb light broken, right in the middle 5 on the numpad so it really sticks out. Hoping a bit of poking about with my soldering iron might do something
Were you able to solve the problem?
My keyboard flickers a lot some keys and I don't know if this method works
Thanks for the brush idea, qtips were failing, yet partially fixed improper keystroke action, was getting surrounding keys being input along with whatever key I pressed. Took a toothbrush to all the PCBs on the K60, mainboard and the 2 or 3 other ones at the top. 90% isopropyl alcohol dissolved the issue like a champion! A quick test shows everything seems to be correct, going to get an o-ring set or two to quiet the thing down and it should be a dream until an rgb speed silver board. yeehaw.
Thanks you saved my keyboard, similar thing spilt some stuff on the lower keys and lights went out on the arrow keys aside of the M key, then all went out and could not type. I managed to get it apart and my hidden screw was under a Corsair badge, which as mine brushed aluminum looks as though its polished but as you did warm mine with a hair dryer and got a very small flat headed screwdriver under it and peeled it back the badge.
Where does the other white plactic bit go with the two holes in it?
Edit: Found it. It's the numlock/capslock lights.
You're a legend for this mate, spilt milk on mine this morning. All clean and working perfectly again :)
Thank you so much! Thought I was gonna have to fork out for another K70. Much appreciated. All the best!
Did this with my K95 and it now works again
I found that a butter knife works really well for getting that top-right volume cap off
Thank you so much dude. My nephew spilled some apple juice on my pok3r and I lost all hope once it stopped being detected by my computer. Then I found your video and rubbed it down with isopropyl alchohol, and its good as new. Again thanks a ton, I would have been out $120 if it were'nt for you.
5:47. Where does that white plastic piece go. The one on the table. I’ve done the other white rubber one that’s for the connector
what is that plastic thing above the keyboard at 5:08? It is not the rubber thing he shows at 8:35 that holds the contacts. It's a different plastic piece that fell out of my keyboard and I have no idea where it came from. I spilled a drink on my keyboard and some keys weren't working, but the backlight was still working fine. I disassemlbed it and cleaned it and put it back together without the white plastic thing and the backlight isn't working anymore, but everything else does. Can someone help?
Did you ever find out where that plastic piece goes? Found the same part but my RBG still works fine without it but I am having problems with my control panel working even though that other rubber part is in its spot.
No I didn't, sorry. My backlight started working on it's own later. I guess it just wasn't completely dry. I assembled the keyboard without the part and everything is working fine now. The media keys too. I don't think the plastic thing makes a difference. You could try opening it up again and checking if everything is plugged in correctly or if you spilled something over that part it might need to dry more like my backlight.
Good luck man and if you find out where that thing goes you can let me know :)
Yep found out it goes under the lights next to the windows lock key. Its just to make the 3 lights look brighter and not an essential part at all.
Ah ok thanks. I guess it's not worth opening up my keyboard for that then. I hope you get that other thing worked out!
Yeah I think it just wasn't making a complete connection since I was testing it without completely putting it back together yet until I found out about the plastic part. Everything is working fine again now though =).
Thanks for this video! Yesterday i spilled a whole glass of red wine over the keyboard and windows went bananas.
With the help of your video I was able to disassemble the thing and clean it up as much as possible. As an added tip (you mentioned it briefly): use (lots of) isopropanol. I found out that wine got inside the cherry domes. I poured isopropanol over them until the stuff didn't get red from the wine anymore. Left it to dry and re-assembled. Seems to be fine now :)
I have a k60 but this was so helpful! My keyboard (although some keys are still a little sticky for the juice) works again!!
I spilled stuff onto my k70 multiples times and the keys got relatively sticky. Destilled water always worked for me. Leaving it in warm destilled water to desolve residue in the keys should also be a good solution. When you flush the keys with destilled water or isopropyl alcohol just repeatedly push the keys to get them clean, and give it enough time to dry out completely before you connect it again.
I just recently as in 20 min ago, I spilled a good amount of water on my keyboard. I went to get some towels and paper because the water went everywhere, Its 00:00 here ATM, and I've got school tomorrow so cannot clean it now, I let all the water drip out and wrapped it in a towel. At first it worked with the water, then I told my mom and when I got back there was a delay on caps and sometime it didn't respond, the same as the volume scroll thingy, what should I do? Is it a stupid idea to just leave it drying?
Thanks to your video, I now have a working k70 🤗👍
Can someone tell me that white piece of plastic, where it goes 5:10
Good video. I spilled tea with lemon, the whole cup! Will try your advice. Thanks
Tks for the enlightenment, but I have an alternative solution that worked for me...
I took the keys out, but without screwing or open the keyboard, I upside down it, and used my mom's hairdryer.
At first, I turn the heat on (taking care to not melt all the plastic), focusing especially in the areas who were wet and the little gap that exists because of the large keys.
Finally, I used a normal fan on the floor, to blow my keyboard upside down for about 3 hours.
In the end, all was responsive again, with no living keys, activating randomly.
Hope this works for you too, cause open all this is a mess.
spilled my coffee like 3 drops on the right side and there was a loose switch and then it spammed my numbers on the numbad following the whole second row stopped working. will see if works.
Idk why but my keyboard of literally the same model i dont have a removable sticker i have an indent in the metal with the icon cut out.
I can't open my keyboard at all.
Also when I was trying to get it open a similar little piece of plastic fell out and i dont know what to do now. send help.
Uodate: the small plastic piece wasn't even part of the keyboard. Crisis averted.
Thanks for the video, it helped me find those hidden screws =p I ended up using a blowdryer and reassembling it and now it works fine. ^-^
PancakeJake123 how did u take it out
This is great, but one quick question. There was another, harder plastic white strip above your keyboard while you were working on it. Have any idea where that goes, because it doesn’t fit in the opposite slot of the rubber white strip that you found on the floor. Thanks for this!
I need to replace a stabilizer on my spacebar and I wish I could do this but I don't have soldering equipment.
Koov buy a cheaper soilder starter kit or some shit and return it when ur done if u want the money back
I fixed mine by noticing and 'lock' symbol was lighted in the middle of the top row. So I clicked the other lighted 'lock' icon button to the left of the top row. The WINDOWS key works again so I can copy/past on my Mac again. I had hit the LOCK button while drying it and didn't realize it. The space bar still feels sticky though.
bubbles were spilled on my keyboard, didn't realize right away tho so im not to sure how long they were on it. wasn't sure what to do, it was spelling random letters by itself, never had this happen before so I just unplugged it an let it dry in front of a fan for a couple hours. tried plugging it back to check if it works but it did absolutely nothing! how would I go about cleaning it if I don't have that alcohol or anything on hand...? need help ASAP please!
Could anyone please help identify the white plastic part that appears at 5’9, above the keyboard? It is not the rubber support but of an plastic nature. Mine fall out when I pry open my K70, so I didn’t get a look at where this part goes. Any pointer is appreciated.
you put it in the space where the numloock, caps lock light are. on the auuxilatu board.
Thanks, fixed my k65 rgb compact using your clip. Of course (typically me) i had a spare part. It worked out to be the cover for the LED lights for CapsLock and the other light. I thought: wth not going to disassemble that whole stupid thing again just for a cover. Left it off and it works fine again. Energy drinks and keyboards do not go together. Now, the right light keeps blinking and my LED shiny things stopped working, that's something electronic, probably the flatcables that are effed while trying to put them back. sausage fingers and tiny, flexible, fragile, little, pesky cables do not work together either. The rest works fine, so, big Thanks, saved me £110 today and i can live with a red keyboard.
I spilled water on my k95 and the preset buttons (m1 m2 m3) aren't working and neither is the macro button. when I took the keyboard apart it was a little damp in that area. currently letting everything air-dry hopefully it still works in the morning
Can using a hairdryer destroy a keyboard my boyfriend has the same keyboard and has spilt soft drink on it ive pulled all the keys off and cleaned the keyboard but it’s still slightly wet ?
I tried lots of things after water spilled on k70. Now, when i move volume wheel, numbers on numpad are pressing.
I wish this was a guide for the k70 MK2 because it has a different logo and I cant take the back off now.
Hi I'm not sure if anyone still checks this but i spilled coffee over my k70, i've removed all screws but one, the one under the corsair logo, if i slightly heat it up and remove it would I still be able to put it back?
Hey just wondering, where does the white plastic piece with the 3 nubs go (not the rubber piece)? You can see it on your desk I this video at the top of the screen starting at 5:11.
Nevermind! Figured it out after digging through the comments. It belongs between the aluminum plate and the top portion of the board where the caps, number, and scroll lock leds are. The three nubs should fit in the holes in the aluminum.
+Ryan Deist thanks for this comment I now know where it goes :)
Please help , like 2 Hours ago I spilled a Glass of Water all over my Corsair K70 , my S and W Keys are not working anymore , can I fix them with that trick? I already removed the Key Caps and cleaned everything up , but it didnt help , if that doesnt work for keys that are not working anymore , should i try to send they keyboard back?
Thank you so much! I was having troubles with a second hand k70 that I bought but all seems to be resolved thanks top this video :)
i cannot get the screw under the logo help pls
Another cool video. Thank you!
That lovely keyboard is pretty high on my wish list to be honest.
+Hendrik Hendrikson It's probably about as good as a keyboard gets to be honest (if you don't chuck drinks over it) the key switches are arguably the best you can get, and it is very solid. The RGB LED's are over the top extravagant, so if you don't need them, the single colour ones are much cheaper. I got mine on holiday in the US as they are much cheaper there than the UK. So I would say you should go for it if you can
Shit why do they make it so hard, I'll just leave it upside down and hope it works by tomorrow!
thanks so much man. I have a k95 rgb platinum and it was exactly the same expect for the screw at the top of the keyboard.
How to fix the mute and volume button?
My Corsair K70 Cherry Red doesn't have the big rectangle logo in the top center. Instead it has a more streamlined logo that is fit to the letters with the Sail design off to the left. I'm going to begin disassembling it tonight to start the cleaning/dry out process. I was wondering if there was a safe way to remove the logo like you had to, but without the fancy heating tools that I don't have.
+FrenzyGaming I would say getting a thin knife or razor blade under the logo would be best, and keeping the blade as flat as possible so as not to bend the logo. Also I am jealous as I would rather have the classic Corsair sail, rather than the teenagers tramp stamp of a logo
+arcadeuk good idea.
And yes, the classic sail looks way nicer than the logo on your keyboard. Even my Corsair ddr4 vengeance cards have the sail :p
+FrenzyGaming I think everyone has made it clear on the Corsair forums that they hate the tramp stamp, but I bet they spent millions on designing it and refuse to go back now. It's very silly to change a well recognised brang logo to something completely different for no good reason, especially without market research
My Vengeance K95 was non functional after I spilled beer over it (it lit up but was just blinking on numlock, capslock, scrollock) and no key presses registered. so it took it apart and shaked it around and pressed all the keys a few times while having it under water, then pressed all the keys out of water to dry it off as much as possible. Afterwards I left it on it's side overnight and low and behold it now works completely fine.
