I have a rose will rk 9100xbre with cherry mx reds. A few days ago I spilled water. Not a little, but a lot. Big cup right on it. It began to flicker, and the lights went out. I unplugged it, rinsed it, and let it dry. Still doesn't work, and I couldnt find much damage except for the one circuit at the top. Are there other ways to find damaged circuits? I heard that you could draw over them with wooden pencils to 'rewire'. Please help, if it's screwed, I just threw away $90.

I'm no expert but i was told when I bought mine not to spill anything on it cause it would fry it beyond repair. You may be able to repair it but if you had to replace anything you might as well trash it. Hey if you just bought it should be under warranty. Clean it the best you can and send it off. The worst thing they could say is no warranty.
