As you know, electronics and water does not jive well and I even wrote about it last year after seeing a CBS clip.

Immediately, I took out the batteries to break the electrical circuit of they keyboard. Tried to drain as much of the juice from keyboard, and deconstruct the keyboard by removing the screws, removing the faceplate to get between the circuits. I gentry rinse the keyboard under slow running water to get the fruit particles out. Following that, I left it to air dry for 12 hours in the balcony. After the balcony, I turning on a table fan and directed it towards the keyboard for about another 12 hours.

I put everything back together after 24 hours and plug in the batteries. Everything is working including the multimedia functions on the keyboard.

Steps to reviving a wet wireless keyboard or even regular keyboard:

1. Do not try to power it up.
2. Remove the batteries / unplug everything – you want to break the electrical circuit and not fry the electrical components.
3. Drain the water from the gadget. Clean it too.
4. Leave it out to dry and put it under a fan.
5. Put everything back together.
6. Test it.

The good news is, the keyboard is still working like a champ and… I am still friend with that person.
