Chosen Solution
I took off my keycaps, washed and dried my keyboard. For the first day, it was working fine but then one by one the keys stopped working. Should I open up the keyboard and check for water damage?
When you push down on a key, you’re collapsing the dome, and the conducting pad makes contact with the PCB. This completes an electrical circuit, telling the computer a key has been pressed. You’re probably going to have to disassemble the keyboard, remove the membrane, and manually dry it with a hair dryer on the low power setting. Just a quick tip: In the future, use baby wipes or a q-tip dipped in alcohol on the keys themselves, and vacuum in between the keys. You should only immerse the keyboard in water to clean it if you’ve spilled something like soda or coffee into it.
