Niall Flinn, that’s pretty much what happened to me, and I did similar to you, I got on it super fast, had that turned over faster that lightening. And under the key tops, what is in there is sealed, so liqud should not get into the circuit board under that area. The problem was the same issue as everyone else here. What is so odd is that if I have the keyboard unplugged and then plug it in, the keys will work fine, for a minute, maybe 5 minutes, but in short time, they stop working. So, the connections are still working, any parts in there are still working, they just won’t keep working.
But what’s more irritating is that I got another of the same keyboard. It was fine for about two months, then the same keys stopped working with the same problem. There was no spill this time. And so many others in this thread are saying the same. This issue is one of more bad Apple engineering, but they take no responsibility for it, they never take responsibility for their failures, and there have been many, unless they are forced too because of a real danger, such as a bad battery setting the machine on fire. They charge a fortune for these keyboards, and don’t stand by their engineering.
