Hi, I recently bought a CoolerMaster Storm Devastator Keyboard/Mouse combo.

Out of the box, the mouse worked great, than scroll wheel stopped working after a day, but I got a new mouse so I don't care about that.
Now, the keyboard never worked to begin with. Only, i'd say, 15-20 keys work on the whole keyboard (0-9 above the letters) and a few random letters on the keyboard (yui fghj cvb) and the space and ESC key and that's it. No matter what I did I couldn't get the keys to work, sometimes if I pressed them really hard they worked. Weirder, I tried press the back of the keyboard really hard to the front using my hands basically so that the case of the keyboard (both sides) are being smashed together and a lot of the keys were working.
My question is, is there anyway to fix this without doing a return? Again, I don't care about the mouse and I really would just like to work on it tonight real quick and be able to use it asap. Their RMA's take like 1+ month to be redelivered.
I have tried taking it apart and cleaning the membrane, and the circuit sheet but to no avail. Any ideas please? Thank you,
Derek
