Over the weekend I spilled some of an espresso martini on my 80HE (photo attached). I immediately disassembled the keyboard, pulled the switches, and wiped the PCB and switches clean with a damp microfiber cloth. I allowed everything to air dry overnight abd reassembled the following day. The keyboard itself functions perfectly, however, the RGB no longer works save for the space bar and the LED indication bar. Additionally, Wootility does not detect the keyboard when plugged in. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the RGB and Wootility issues?

sounds like

some issues with the LED controller (or possible short present there)
Keyboard other functions work but wootility doesn't (that is strange.,.... maybe a driver issue but seems unlikely

i would leave it unplugged and follow the instructions in the automatic response for liquid spills for cleaning the PCB

i would recommend to check the LED controller (image of this component)
