G15 keyboard - spilt tea on it!

[Skaven]

Hi guys

Last month I stupidly knocked over my tea (which had milk and sugar) over the right hand side of my newly bought logitech G15 keyboard. Surrfice to say I thought it was well and truly buggered - the backlights kept flashing on and off, the lcd screen was blinking etc... not good.

Anyways, I unplugged it all and left it in the room to dry. Ive only just gone back to it today as I compleatly forgot about it - just plugged it in and everything is working fine! - apart from some of the keys are sticking, presumably because of the sugar in the tea, and the enter key only works if you hit it with more pressure than usual.

My quesiton - Ive heard about people putting their keyboards in distilled water, im thinking about doing it to this one to see if it helps with the key's sticking and the enter button problem. If I did choose to do this would I be making the problem worse - can putting the keyboard in water (obviously let it dry out afterwards) compleatly bugger it up? or is it a good idea?

Cheers.

I would say do it but I was waiting to see some other replies first...

well problem solved (kinda)

I emailed logitech saying pretty much exactly the same thing above ^. There responce was pretty much what I thought it would be apart from the line '' I believe that your Logitech Device would be defective and will be exchanged.''.

Slightly baffled by this I phoned them up, I was pretty much 99% sure the warrenty woulden't cover accidental damage like this. So Spoke to some chap who confirmed what I thought - that it wasn't covered. So Thought I would try my luck, I pointed him to the email they sent me. He puts me on hold for a few mins while he reads the email then comes back on the phone.. '' oh yes.. er... suppose I better get you a replacement sent out''.

Just... lol. Unfortunatly they're out of stock in their warehouse but they're going to give me a ring when they're back in stock to ship one out to me.

Thumbs up to logitech
