CM Quickfire TK fn key not working
« on: Tue, 13 January 2015, 19:02:55 »
Hi, I decided to clean out my keyboard today and removed all the keycaps and used a dust sprayer to clean out all the dust that was inside the keyboard.  I also decided to wash my keycaps while I was at it and dried it using a towel but then realized that the stems were completely dried so I took the keycap out and put them in a pillow case and threw it in the drying machine.  Now that the keycaps are all dried, I placed all the keys in the correct place and realized that the fn key isnt working anymore.  It's the only key on my keyboard (i think) that isn't working anymore.  Could it be because of the wet stem?

I highly doubt that it was due to the wet stem. I honestly would try to see if it's covered by warranty, and if that fails, maybe take it apart and see what could possibly be wrong.

@julayyy: Have you tried removing the keycap on the Fn key to see it you can activate it by pressing the switch stem? Alternatively, you could put a different keycap on the Fn key to see if it works, keeping in mind that Fn on its own does nothing; it must be used in combination with another key to perform some function.
