So before you berate me, I'm pretty damn Careful with my keyboard, I push it back before I eat/drink, but this time it happend before I pushed it back....
Anyway. I used Vodka (Frozen) to clean it and assumed that it'd be fine, however, LED's started to flicker and then, blanked out.
I used some Rubik's cube silicon lubricant to fix the keys, but now the 5 key doesn't actuate.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/UB5fLOd.gif)
There is a diagram of the lights that work ( blue is on )
It doesn't annoy me too much, I just put them all off, but does anyone have any idea to what I could do?
Welcome to Geekhack.Thanks!
Sounds like you might have shorted something on the PCB.
Actually I think this is the first time I have heard of someone using vodka to rinse out a keyboard. I would have considered it too valuable for that ;)
Are you sure it was completely dry before you used it (the keyboard)?
rinse it again, then make sure it is genuinely dry and that there are no prior residues left. I'm not sure if the vodka dissolved the tea properly - you need to get all foreign substances out.So before you berate me, I'm pretty damn Careful with my keyboard, I push it back before I eat/drink, but this time it happend before I pushed it back....

How should I go about rinsing it, as I said, I have 98% alcohol in the house, that's the stuff I need, right?
Would a hair dryer/under the radiator be good or are we looking for a more boil type heat here?
So I did that, and it didn't do anything from what a first glance can see.
Though, the key's do feel a bit different... softer....

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! :eek:
I think the Shine 2 has a double layer PCB; and if it does, maybe there is liquid between the PCB layers?That is not how double layer PCB work. Dual layer PCB actually just have a layer of trace on the front, and layer on the back. Multiple layers of PCBs are laminated together. You can't get liquid in between.
