Last night one of our stupid cats managed to get into the room with my M3 and proceeded to urinate on the lower end of the keys. Needless to say, while the module works fine, anything with the keys is screwed up.

There was a puddle of urine on one of the lower keys (73 key M3) and when I tilted the M3 up, pointing the keys downward, a small amount of urine ran out from under some of the lower keys.

Not going to try to get into the keys as I don't have any service diagrams and don't want to make things worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated, although I'm expecting to have to make a trip to a service center. Will be running a dehumidifier all night tonight and during the day tomorrow. Really don't expect that to eliminate the damage.

Any advice, beyond what will happen to the cat once I get my fingers on it, would be appreciated.

Thanks! ](*,)
Hi

In the UK we wouldn't take this in for repair. Coke or beer spilled is just about ok to work with but we draw the line at urine..!

You might find your local distributor feels the same about this liquid also...

If you say that the module still works, can you not just get hold of a new keybed? I have seen several for sale lately.
