I've spilled a tiny bit of water over my Cooler Master Storm Trigger keyboard. It was really just a few drops, unfortunately the following keys have stopped working:
backspace,{,},t,y,left shift and numeric 4,5,6. Now I assume there is a drop of the liquid somewhere on the board and it messes up the circuit. So I opened it up, but After removing the back screws I was only able to remove the front cover and even when I take off each individual key I am not able to get between the black part holding the keys and the actual board.

My question to you is if you know how I could separate the circuit board itself from the "key holder board", or if there is any other efficient way of removing the liquid.

Helplessly looking forward to your replies,
JB.

If it was just water that you spilled then it should work again as soon as it dries out. A heat source such as an air dryer may help it dry out faster. If it was something... sweeter or stickier that spilled on the keyboard you'll need to use a solvent to clean it out.
