before my spacebar was kind of tweaking and going from working to not working over and over again, i thpight it was due to a drink i spilt so i unscrewed the plate out, unscrewed the pcb and then cleaned everything i saw with isopropyl alcohol, replaced switches (cause i also got some gateron jades) then put everything back together and now my spacebar is not working and hasnt shown any detection on wootiloy, is there a way to tell if its permanent damage or any ideas that i might have looked over? any help is appreciated.
I was suggested to send both sided of my pcb around the spacebar area into the post.

tons of corrosion
idk what you spilled but that looks like it was spilled and never cleaned
that sucks
just fizzy drink once before and then another time recently
but that makes sense, i didnt clean the pcb back then i thought it wasnt a necessary step i just cleaned the visible parts of the keyboard
is the next step buying a replacement pcb since i already have the switches the case and foam?
or replacement module
youd need an entire module in that case since we dont sell just the pcb
also just for future reference: cleaning the inside of an electronic device is always needed unless its rated to be waterproof meaning water cant even get in. in this case we do have an anti spill coating but that doesnt mean you dont need to clean it. just means you got some more time to clean it but not days worth of more time
