Heya,  
I spilled water on my right half on my model01 a couple days ago. I unplugged it overnight, but morning after I realized there was plenty water inside the enclosure and took it apart fully to dry & cleaned it up with a toothbrush.  
But a few days later it’s still not fully back:  
keys in row 2 & 3, and shift, alt, fn are not working.  
LED’s in columns 14&15 are not working. (I don’t care much for that)

So I’m guessing there’s some line(s) that are shorted or broken. I’m fine with basic soldering if that’s necessary, and got a crappy multimetre.

Hope somebody can help diagnose further!
