You will have to clean PCB - once you disassemble the keyboard (2HE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj66YesiJJk, 60HE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRVnK958Tdk) I'd recommend using IPA (isopropyl alcohol, you should be able to get it at local pharmacy/tech store) with cotton swabs to clean the board well

And I'd recommend to do it as soon as you can, pretty much all juices are acidic, and that may/will cause corrosion on the PCB

[sweet cloak]

i need to do everywhere?

on pcb 2?

[surreal vector]

Yeah, I would recommend to clean the whole PCB, just to be safe

like this?

also when i press on some buttons the switch stays down and like i click 1 time A but i have AAAAAAAAA

[surreal vector]

Yeah, that's one way to do this
Just two buts - don't use hair dryer to dry the keyboard, alcohol dries pretty fast by itself, and there's less risk of damaging the components; and also if you want to use a toothbrush, make sure you're using a soft one

In case when your switches stay down physically when pressed it may also be necessary to disassemble, clean and lube the switches again
Otherwise only cleaning the keyboard might solve the problem

[sweet cloak]

so only alcohol to clean ?'

[sweet cloak]

but where put alcohol , like toothbrush or something else

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPhXt_wmLkU

[surreal vector]

I'd advice against using water on anything else than keycaps, plate and case by themselves, after you fully disassemble the keyboard, you can also refer to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-52JsgdvsA
As for where to put alcohol, then I usually dip swabs/toothbrush in alcohol and clean it like that

[sweet cloak]

and if it doesnt helped what can i do?

like buy new module + l45

[surreal vector]

Yes, in a pinch you can also do that, and use keycaps and case from your current keyboard

[sweet cloak]

better l60 or l45 cause i have l60 now

and case i already have so its not a problem if the case is sticky?

[surreal vector]

Once you clean your case with soapy water it won't be anymore
And as for choice between L45s and L60s, that's up to your preference, L45s are a bit lighter than L60s

[sweet cloak]

so
Keycaps - hot water
pcb - (dissambled) alcohol + toothbrush / dip swabs

[surreal vector]

Warm water, keycaps may deform under hot water, but essentailly yes

[sweet cloak]

so the only problem its the module?

[surreal vector]

I'm not sure, it depends if the spilled juice only got onto the PCB, or if it also got inside the switches

[sweet cloak]

switches its not hard

so the unique problem it can be pcb

and for the cable i had to change it by another 1 cause it wont turn on, but it not detect that is keyboard connected

[surreal vector]

Ah, if you're using different cable, it may cause issues with Tachyon mode enabled, which in turn may be the cause of computer receiving several keystrokes instead of just one

[sweet cloak]

what can i do

[surreal vector]

Either try other cable, plug the cable to other USB port in your PC or disable Tachyon mode

[sweet cloak]

how i can disable it

it doesnt detect it

but i can write with

so the unique problem it can be pcb or plate / case ?

[surreal vector]

You can disable Tachyon mode in wootility - https://wootility.io/
And yeah, in my opinion juice on the PCB is most likely the cause of the problem

[sweet cloak]

ok thx

@surreal vector look

it says its not connected but it is

[surreal vector]

Does it also happen with different cable or when keyboard is plugged to different USB port?

[sweet cloak]

yes

[surreal vector]

Ok, are you using web version of wootility? If so, the browser may be the culprit

[sweet cloak]

itsdisconnects

some buttons arent working

do i need to use only stock cable?

[surreal vector]

No, third-party cables will work fine too, as long as they're good quality, for example I'm using Razer coiled one with my Two HE

[surreal vector]

At this point I'd try cleaning the PCB, and the problem still occurs - try to reset the keyboard https://help.wooting.io/article/90-how-to-restore-reset-my-wooting-one-or-wooting-two-flaretech

[sweet cloak]

its not event turn on

the usb its in module?

can it be cause of juice

[surreal vector]

Yes, if the juice causes a short on the PCB, it may cause the keyboard to not turn on

And yes, the module comes with USB cable, standard 1.8m/6ft braided one

[sweet cloak]

how you know it doesnt says

@surreal vector

[surreal vector]

Everything is on the website https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-module
As you can see, cable is included with module

[sweet cloak]

ohhhhhh

thx

• Unplug:
  First thing regarding liquid spills is to make sure the keyboard is unplugged and unpowered to prevent possible damage.

• Disassembly:
  Perform a complete disassembly and separate the layers.
  A video guide on how to Disassemble the keyboard.

• Wiping Off:
  Go over the Case ,Foam, PCBA, etc. with a paper towel and Dab or wipe off any excess liquid until it is as dry as possible.

• Inspect:
  I'll note that while the PCBA is coated with a light water resistance coating, it does not fully coat the PCBA, and it is advised that you thoroughly inspect the non-coated areas (USB C port area & programmer pins under the spacebar) for any residue or liquid
  (image of areas for references).

• Clean:
  If you notice anything that looks off or requires cleaning, I would recommend you use 70% IPA Or above (IsoPropyl Alcohol) with a soft brush or Q-Tip to clean the area. This is highly recommended if liquid is not water but a sugary drink or other, as it may leave residue when it dry's that could help corrode and exhibit problems at a later time if not cleaned.

• Drying:
  Leave the separate layers out to dry for half a day in a dry room. If it feels wet to the touch, leave it to dry for longer.

• Reassembly & Test:
  Reassemble the keyboard and plug it back in to see if it is working. If it shows any issues such as turning off/on repeatedly, it's best to unplug the keyboard and perform the Inspection & cleaning steps again.

• Notes:

• If you are unsure of anything or want a second pair of eyes, give me a ping. I'll help out when I can.

• If "IPA" is not an option for you, then preferably you can use deionized water, or distilled water. While tap water can be used, I would not recommend the use of it.

I'll just leave my saved responses and hope it helps. I would check out the "Inspect" segment and pay close attention to the points listed in the image.

[empty barn]

Sorry @frail brook just wanted to let you know the image link don’t seem to load

[frail brook]

hmmm one sec

that should fix it

[empty barn]

Yep working now👍

[sweet cloak]

yo thank you very much but another question cause my keyboard doesnt turn on the usb have a problem cause of juice i guess so can i put alchol in usb keyboard?

[frail brook]

If it is not turning on, it could indicate that there is a short near the uncoated areas. If possible, I would recommend taking a picture of the areas.

And just to check, when you mention alcohol, are you referring to IPA (isopropyl alcohol)?

[sweet cloak]

yes

i dont have the necessary materials to disassembly the keyboard today
