corsair K70 seemingly completely dead

[Mercay]

Hi people,

As the title suggests, my K70 (non RGB) is completely unresponsive and I'm want to see if there is anything that can be done to fix it!

Yesterday I decided it needed a bit of cleaning so I took all the caps off and washed them off in water while I went about wiping and dusting off all the crap that gets between the buttons.
I left the caps to dry off and later thoroughly wiped them clean to make sure there was no water left on them before I reattached them.

The keyboard worked fine for the rest of the day (several hours), but when I started the computer today the keyboard was completely unresponsive, no LEDs light up, nothing.

I feel that it's very unlikely that any moisture got in it as I really made sure everything was dry before I put it back on, but it's the only explanation I got :/

Anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like you were really careful about the moisture.

Are you sure it's not something silly like the a cable came loose? Also try different USB ports; sometimes Windows will disable a port until next reboot, if it notices sometimes odd about the port.

Try this first, in control panel ->power options -> advanced settings

@Todd I plugged into all the different USB ports and tried my laptop too, nothing

@Darkblade6 Tried that, no change. :/

Seems it's just dead even though I took such great care not to get any moisture in it >.<

Just strange that it worked for several hours after I cleaned it and refused to work the next day.

Hey I'm having the same problem. My K70 worked this morning. When I got home from class the lights were on but the BIOS wouldn't recognize it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a few time and eventually the lights went out and now it is seemingly dead. I've had it for just over a year. I'm going insane trying to figure out what is wrong.

Did you find a solution to this or no?
