I spilled about 200ml of water into my desktop PCs keyboard. Like, it was pouring out when I lifted it off the table ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฑ I unplugged it and tried to get as much water out by allowing it to pour out and stuck tissues into nooks to soak up the access liquid. I tried opening the case but couldn't make my way inside. So I left it out to dry for now almost 24 hours.

So there isn't much that I can still do with a budget of 0โ‚ฌ. No alcohol soak or nothing.

I was just wondering if it was possible for dried residue to short out the keyboard and damage my PC?

UPDATE It works. am typing this on said keyboard right now. weeeeee :D

With water you're generally fine. Might take a day or two. Put it in front of a fan or vent or something if you're feeling extra cautious.

Edit: no, it's very unlikely that it can causeway damage to your PC
