I managed to "break" my backlit keyboard

[deckard666]

So yesterday I decided to clean my Logi keyboard using my electrical contact cleaner for some reason which I have to say I thought was just compressed air and this is what has happened - the lower half of the keyboard is literally 50% less bright than the rest which was working perfectly up to yesterday - any ideas ? Is is something that might right itself over the next week or so as the air gets to it or is it messed up forever ?

Is it just compressed air that you used?

If so, it could have simply been strong enough to knock a connector out of its socket, thus disconnecting some lights. Open the keyboard up, and if that is the case the loose cable should be obvious.

However, if it blasted aerosoled liquid into the keyboard then leaving it to dry could help.
