Hi!

Yesterday I spilled some juice all over my Apple Keyboard. It is the Aluminium 
USB version.

It is model A1243 introduced in 2007; System requirements were back than Mac 
OS X 10.4.something; in the store it’s now 10.6.something…

After unplugging it I washed it using water, but the juice was in so deep that 
I feared I won’t get it all out without enought water, so I put it under 
running water. I inverted it and allowed it to try for about 20 hours.

I later found that 24 to 48 hours would have been better:

The good news: the built-in USB hub works.
The bad news: the keyboard doesn’t. Not one keypress was recognized by the 
system.

I tried to find a solution on YouTube, like how to open it, but I cannot find 
a good video that would help. Most videos deal with how to clean the 
individual keys rather than how to open it.

Did I plug it in too early? Could it really be broken beyond repair?
All suggestions are wellcome…

Thanks,
Andreas  aka  Mac User #330250
