Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013: Water damaged Razer blackwidow Ultimate 2016 down aroow

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 20:55:26 -0700

So a few months ago I spilled some soda on my keyboard. I have contacted razer support team and they said your warranty doesn't cover water damage so I took my keyboard apart and dried it with paper towels then let dry in front of a fan for 2 days and all my keys besides the down arrow key.

I tested my switches with a multi-meter and the switch it self seems fine its sending power but it's not sending input to the computer though so I would like to figure out what I can do to fix my down arrow key

Fn keys wont work unless you hold down the fn key button, does anyone know a fix for this? A fix that would make it so that the fn key doesn’t have to be held down

I spilled water on my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2016 Edition. (didnt give the option for 2016 edition in title) I immediately dried it off at unplugged it. I took it apart and cleaned small amount of corrosion off connection with 91% isopropyl. After completely drying for a a couple days, I reassembled it. After plugging it in, the keyboard work but spoty. This eventually went to not working at all. After more research, I disassembled it again after finding a thread which suggested an isopropyl bath. Was going to try this was seeking other opinions if this does not work or if this was the correct troubleshooting procedd.

Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013: Why is my keyboard not responding?

Sat, 08 Sep 2018 02:53:32 -0700

After not using my computer for a few days, I come back to it simply not responding to my typing. After some testing and troubleshooting, I’m relatively certain that the issue is with my Razer keyboard. Using a virtual keyboard, I’ve found that when I push any button on the keyboard, the AltGr, Shift and Windows button all become pressed in and later release through an unknown combination of keystrokes. In addition, when it does not think that said buttons are pushed in, it only seems to react to the Shift, Ctrl and Alt buttons. All drivers are up to date and the issue seems to be software based as far as I can tell.

Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013: Spilled water on my keyboard and I need help!

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 22:02:43 -0700

I was eating soup near my keyboard and it split just a small amount, roughly the amount of water that a water bottle cap can hold. All of the sudden the computer can't register the keystrokes. I restarted my computer and I cleaned the water out of my keyboard by taking out the space key and it works fine, I tried to but back my space key back in, it was really hard and all of the sudden my keyboard spam random keys. I unplugged the power and tried to take off the back to no avail, put the screws back in and the power, but nothing works. The lights worked before I took unplugged the power and it no longer works. Essentially it broke. This keyboard is really special to me as it was a gift and I really hope that there is someway to fix this mess. Please help...
