Even though I love to fix things just for the challenge, you convinced me that I never want to take my K800 apart. I spilled coffee on mine and it sill works after draining the coffee out and blowing out the board with a high powered hand held blower. I will unscrew things but when you have to pry them apart you run the risk of busted clips and never going together again. What you did was just too much work but a good learning experience.
Good job, but I'm here because I thought you might change the stoopid battery while you were in there. Making that unreplaceable seems like a first-class dickish thing to do to customers.
My K800 finally began having key troubles. Tab, S, D and Ctrl no contact. Viewed you video to see how case halves came apart. Would never have thought Logitech would use double-sided tape to stick the back cover in place. Once apart I doused membrane and wire trace layer with rubbing alcohol, set them in front of fan for 2 hours then repeated. Reassembled and I'm typing on it right now. Thanks!
Very thankful for the video! I fixed mine. Typing on it right now. My spill was water and was probably less than a teaspoon, but was enough to make the keyboard go crazy. I did not bake it, I separated the 3 layers of the contact sheet and gently cleaned the contacts with cotton buds and rubbing alcohol. Then let the alcohol evaporate for about 30 mins just in case, laid the layers back on, gently pressed everywhere to stick it back. I found it easier to just carefully peel halfway from the side (my number pad was fine, so I did not peel all the way), than trying to get in with a knife from the middle :D. The contact sheet thing has 3 layers, the middle one is just plastic separating the 2 layers you need to clean. It is definitely tedious work, to get to it, it's an expensive keyboard..so it helps if you have a replacement keyboard to use in the meantime while you do this carefully, on your own time. If you are desperate, windows have an onscreen keyboard you can click around with the mouse. I also recommend googling 'key test' and using that to determine which keys have gave gone coo-coo Also take photos and separate your screws. And if you are prone to spilling your drink, my genuine advice is: don't purchase or repurchase this keyboard, it's sensitive and difficult to take apart and put back together. Also! take care and don't break the on/off button when putting the cover back on, make sure the tiny stick that the tiny switch inside and the plastic button are in the off position. I even held the plastic button with my hand so it would not slide while I was putting the front cover on, because I broke it on my previous keyboard.
@@pogtuber5146 I think I used a knife to separate the layers at the edge, and then peel. But seriously, though, fuck this keyboard. It is too sensitive and absurdly hard to fix. Since I made that comment, I spilled stuff on it again and broke some keys taking it apart. So I cut my losses and bought a Logitech g213, a sturdier and somewhat spill-resistant one. It's wired and the feel is not the same, but I can trust it not to break from a teaspoon of liquid and 3 crumbs. if you manage to fix the k800, never have any food or any liquid anywhere near it ever again. It's just not that keyboard. It can only survive this way. For how expensive it is, it should be way less sensitive. If you fail at fixing it, do yourself a favor and look for a spill-resistant one.
@@rin55 Yeah I don't think I"m going to try to split the membranes, I've left it with a fan blowing for 2 days and it didn't "fix" it, I might try a hair dryer and leave it for a week for one final attempt. However I found someone local selling a really good condition K800 for $30 so I'm going to pick it up. I just don't feel like researching new keyboards just to end up being disappointed. And for sure, from now on I'm NOT eating or drinking around my keyboards.
@pogtuber5146 it's very easy to split, you can't damage it as long as you don't try to disconnect the whole thing from the keyboard. The 1st and the 3rd layer have holes in it, you could use a hole at the edge to get tweezers or an edge of a knife between the layers. The middle layer does not have holes, if I remember correctly. This is a different keyboard, but the circuit contact sheet is very similar and you can see how easy it is should be to sepparate. ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxSY3FU_oMEojci8ljv4CPTcA0_Nxt3Zfh?si=aoR7TdgA3yjIw1Bk The contacts are drawn on the inside of the layers, so in order to clean you have to sepparate. Just run a qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol along every line on the inside of 1st andb3rd layer and let it dry. It also depends on what you spilled. Water should be fine, but drinks with any acidity/ sugar have tendency to corode. The reall chalange is putting buttons back on without breaking them. Well, if you decide to get that $30 keyboard, don't throw away this one, because it can be a donnor for broken buttons 😄
@@rin55 yeah I think this would be a nightmare, i can't readily tell where the connections are being made, or even what's an air bubble and what's liquid. I'll be holding on to the keys because yeah I already broke the Windows key switch just taking it apart lol
I spilled beer on mine last night bc a bug was partially in my mouth! So spit the beer all over left side of keyboard. I wiped it all down and shook it out (I wish I used the compressed air I have in my garage but it was late) so I took batteries out ran it under warm water this morning from Reading many threads and blew out all the excess water with air hose and now keys won’t even work lol maybe it needs to dry out. Sucks I loved this KB and now they are still for sale but $350!!! Off to BB to see what’s the latest and created for illuminating KB’s ** Update. the KB dried out all beer gone followed this video (but didn't pop keys off or the plastic hinges) and it works perfect. never would know it happened. So pumped!
Spilled an entire glass of water on my keyboard and the keys stopped working. I left it out in the sun for a day, it was 90F outside for reference. Keyboard is working fine now. Glad I watched this video and realized that I absolutely did not want to attempt a disassembly. I probably would have broken the thing in the process.
i got half way through breaking mine down and then I saw them picking up pieces of plastic clips and putting stuff in the oven. Yeah I will just stick to cleaning under the keys.
The same thing happened to me, but with beer. I benefited a lot from your video. Many thanks for that! I simply cleaned the keyboard or the transparent part with Isopropanol. I think it's much better than water because it cleans really well and then evaporates. If necessary, you can also use a Domol cloth or something.
thanks my k800 same problem from soda spill but after watching this I've decided to toss it in the garbage and break down and buy another one as costly as they are lol.
Many thanks for this great video, without which I would not have dared to separate the foil to clean the contact tracks. And it worked! The keyboard works perfectly again.
I was preparing myself for such operation but my K800 came back to life 48 hours after she drank ca. 150 ml of a beer. 11 years and its still running. Great that I have bought just a temporary keyboard.
Replacement battery for LI-ION version of K800 is "802085" - 1500MAH, battery needs to have 3 wires as it probably includes a thermistor. Same battery is in mx keys. Logitech craft has same sized battery but more wires and does not fit directly. Older K800 uses and charges standard NICD or NIMH AA size batteries. I own one of each revisions, they are both good products, but pain in the ass to open.
Interesting. The way the keys are connected to the board has been changed, and looks much easier to replace. Earlier versions of the K800 are a nightmare to replace but on the plus side you can also easily replace the batteries when they die. I wish I'd known they had covered the battery compartment in newer versions of the board before I bought a new one. :(
yes, the design is a disgrace. planned obsolescence at its finest. even random keys assigned to "stop" working at a certain time - ie they still work but the usb receiver ignores them.
@@notexactlyrocketscience Gracias a tu comentario comprendí que el problema podría estar en el receptor, pues además, tengo un mouse logitech MX Anywhere 2S y estaba usando ese receptor para conectar los 2 dispositivos (ya sabes, unifying) y estaba teniendo problemas con el comportamiento de la tecla SHIFT izquierda, cambié el receptor por el original del teclado y hasta ahora no hay problemas con la tecla SHIFT izquierda y ninguna otra. Ojalá sirva esta información a otros. Saludos
Is it worth spending hours and hours trying to repair this keyboard instead of spending $60 on a new one? Not in 2020. But maybe now in 2022, when Logitech discontinued this keyboard with no new replacement. The K800 was the best keyboard ever. The M570 was the best mouse ever. Both discontinued. Thanks, Logitech. Or should I say illogical-tech.
6:29 this is why you should never use a sharp tool like a screwer to open plastic closed elements. I always use a plastic card to avoid breaking internal clips.
This one scared me to not even try to open the keyboard. I've been lucky and was able to fix my dead key just by removing the key and hammering on the button.
From what I see I propose to put the keyboard into oven at 45°C without disassembling it first! And btw I got my dead key working again just by removing the Key cap and hammering the raw button with the finger.
Thx, just fixed mine from a spillage, didn't disassemble it that much or shove it in the oven lol, just wiped the membranes clean and let it sit open overnight, keys started working normally again next day.
well - I have the first revision with the replaceable batteries - also flooded it with liquor - captain morgan to be specific I disassembled mine as fast as possible (after turning it of and taken out the batteries) and then had it cleaned about 5 min in flowing water - had it dry for about 2 1/2 days - just put it together - seems to be working again - although a few keys seem to be reworked ... luckly for me it worked without dismanteling all the keys - I just took out the key assembly as a whole and had it flooded with warm clean water - it's the least serviceable keyboard I ever encountered - I complained about it at logitechs subreddit - but they didn't even bothered to reply at all
@@rin55 TBH I dont even know if it was broken. I cleaned it thoroughly but my K860 seems built to disipate the liquid as i found minimal liquid under the popped off keys.
@@djdisconap That would be such an improvement, because my K800 went crazy from half a teaspoon that I mostly cleaned on the surface, so what for inside must be just a few drops. Lucky you did not have to take it apart all the way!
For anyone that gets multiple key presses after cleaning the membrane with soapy water and drying it out... keep the keyboard out for another month to dry out more. I did that and now it works fine again.
I have this keyboard for over 8 years now i think. battery still good and never ever had any problem with it. sometimes keys klog up with some dirt but nothing a vacuum or compressed air cant fix.
Don't spill anything on it or you'll be in my boat where pressing f activates f7 as well or zero only intermittently works. I would take it apart to fix it but I'm hoping it'll fix itself over time as the spilled areas get used over and over.
It's a time consuming repair alright. But these things are $200 new in my country, about US$138 whereas they can be had new in the US for $60 at the moment. So they're extremely expensive for what they are in some places, and with that awful built-in battery now. I'm sure many people will want to repair their old units.
Thanks for sharing that, mine encountered a tiny bit of coffee too much. Random key errors, some keys don't respond and sometimes it just squirts out nonstop char or another every min or so until another key is pressed. Almost unusable. I know what I am doing this weekend as I wait for my new 32GB RAM (4x 16GB sticks of my old Corsair Vengeance RAM are all are faulty ! Won't even post with some of them. RAM is by FAR the most commonly failing component in my experience. about 10x sticks in the last 20 years lol ) and 5700X to arrive :)
Ours only has spilled water and after watching this I can say with certainty: If it doesn't start working fine after it dries out, it's going straight into the trash.
This video sucks. It screams for some kind of audio (instead of that stupid soundtrack) explaining what's being done as it's being done and why and what to be careful of instead of a bunch of random pointing here and there with fat fingers and screwdrivers.
Hey! I've got a really, really weird issue with my K800 keyboard that started just a couple of days ago. When I turn on the keyboard, it starts typing the / key repeatedly. It doesn't stop unless I type something else on my own. So if I start typing something, it stops. Also, it does the same thing if I'm pressing Windows Key + Space, or Windows Key + Z. It just starts typing ///////////. I just want to mention that all the keys work perfectly fine when they're pressed separately. It's just this particular key combination that's causing it to start typing ///// for no reason. Is there anything that can be done, or so I need a new keyboard?
i have 3 of these keyboards now. only one has manageable glitches. logitech has on on amazon for $300! why, i have no idea. i paid somewhere around $50 every time from best buy. i was going to just get another one, but they dont carry it anymore. there are similar but no backlit keys. unless you want to spend at least $200. even used k800 keyboards are selling for $50. i cant really tell whats wrong with the kb on mine. i know i have spilt some things on all 3 of these.
My k800 k'eeps typing the ['] key the one with [@]. I haven't spilt 'anything on it, sometimes it 'presses it continuously, othertimes it''s intermittent. Is this ph'ysically damaged or c'ould it be a driver 'issue? I've 'tried reinstalling 'but it keep's doing it. appreciate a'ny help/advice, thanks
Hello! What will happens, if i unstick two parts of flexible chip sticker? Ive cleaned it with water, but after assembly keyboard not working. Thank you
Hey play4fun .... I noticed in the bottom right hand corner there's a yellow wire and a green wire that leads up to the top right hand corner. I only have a yellow wire on mine. I'm trying to figure out how the on off switch works because I guess I lost the piece or something that was supposed to go to that on off switch I saw a few other videos and it looks like there's something that's sticking out of that thing on the board where the on off switch is and I don't have anything there. It must've somehow came out when I was taking everything apart and it's such a little piece I don't know where to even begin to look at where it went
@@dslunsford1 The answer is no. If you want to clean up the membrane you need to remove the keys. However, in my case it was not necessary, I don't know what was the exact cause of the problem with my keyboard (certain keys typed multiple letters when pressed), but it was not because of a spill of liquid. I simply removed the back cover, dusted some dirt off, and assembled it back together. It did something because the keyboard worked as expected afterwards. I tried to remove some keys to clean the dirt stuck to the membrane under the keys, but desisted soon after I broke the plastic spring system under one key, so be careful with that if you decide to take apart the keys.
12:55 until 16:20 with wine between layers, instead of cutting membrane and all that the next 8 min of video, and especially rinse in water. water is the problem. I used CRC Contact Cleaner can spray and that always solves my electrical dirty contact problem. FYI. good luck. no cutting. no washing. just spray and let dry.
This keayboard is probably the most expansive shit I've ever bought. Plastics used outside and inside are like biscuits. It breaks so easly that you understant it's the poorest chinese manufactiring ever made.
I have two of these keyboards. One of them I bought close to release (same year) and it is still working perfectly as of today. All keys work, backlight works, sensor works, no double preses, no missed keys, rubber domes are still in good shape, etc. The second unit however, which I bought a couple of years after the first one (because of good experience with the first) had dead buttons within I believe the first 6 months or so. Logitech definitely started to produce less quality products at some point... And yet their current MX Keys is the only option available on the market that appeals to me in the same way that the K800 did back in the day...
I've always encouraged friends and family to buy Logitech because with MS I had serious range & reliability issues, they don't allow you to pair with other dongles and they didn't encrypt all of their wireless keyboards even as recently as a few years ago. And Logitech battery life was just excellent (although not so much with this backlit model - they should have added more AA's for capacity). But I've also become more disillusioned with Logitech quality over the last decade. Plastics feel cheap, keys used by technical users are missing (Break), gimicky icons all over their function keys - when I glance down to find a special function key I need to be able to identify it QUICKLY - not go back and forth deciphering fucking hieroglyphs. The new MX Keys, though well reviewed, has several of these problems which puts me right off.
I dropped about half pint of rubbing alcohol about 3 hours ago I'm using it now will see how long it last. I did not disassemble. I just let it evaporate. At first it made the screen go crazy as if you were accidentally holding down the space bar or another key while watching a RUclips video. Let the alcohol evaporate. These do not seem to last very long. This is my 6th one it suits my purpose but this may be my last.
Unfortunately the contacts on mine are gone, so after spending an hour getting into the guts of the thing and cleaning it all out, the button that was borked remains borked - my full stop key, incidentally Now to find a new keyboard I guess - shame, this one was pretty awesome overall
@@maksimkovtun9517 Wound up getting an MX keys which is a nice little keyboard. It does apparently have some issues with sturdiness, as mild impacts can cause internal rattling, but mine's been holding up well so far.
Baking at 45 actually worked? I have a feeling I have water in mine after I cleaned it from a coke spill. Some keys are still registering other keys. 45 I'm assuming is in Celcius?

Hey! I've got a really, really weird issue with my K800 keyboard that started just a couple of days ago. When I turn on the keyboard, it starts typing the / key repeatedly. It doesn't stop unless I type something else on my own. So if I start typing something, it stops.
Also, it does the same thing if I'm pressing Windows Key + Space, or Windows Key + Z. It just starts typing ///////////. I just want to mention that all the keys work perfectly fine when they're pressed separately. It's just this particular key combination that's causing it to start typing ///// for no reason.
Is there anything that can be done, or so I need a new keyboard?
i have 3 of these keyboards now. only one has manageable glitches. logitech has on on amazon for $300! why, i have no idea. i paid somewhere around $50 every time from best buy. i was going to just get another one, but they dont carry it anymore. there are similar but no backlit keys. unless you want to spend at least $200. even used k800 keyboards are selling for $50. i cant really tell whats wrong with the kb on mine. i know i have spilt some things on all 3 of these.
My k800 k'eeps typing the ['] key the one with [@]. I haven't spilt 'anything on it, sometimes it 'presses it continuously, othertimes it''s intermittent. Is this ph'ysically damaged or c'ould it be a driver 'issue? I've 'tried reinstalling 'but it keep's doing it. appreciate a'ny help/advice, thanks

Hey play4fun .... I noticed in the bottom right hand corner there's a yellow wire and a green wire that leads up to the top right hand corner. I only have a yellow wire on mine. I'm trying to figure out how the on off switch works because I guess I lost the piece or something that was supposed to go to that on off switch I saw a few other videos and it looks like there's something that's sticking out of that thing on the board where the on off switch is and I don't have anything there. It must've somehow came out when I was taking everything apart and it's such a little piece I don't know where to even begin to look at where it went
Do you really need to disassemble all the keys to get to the membrane? Can't you access it by just removing the back cover?
I wish there was an answer to this before I go about it.... I think I'm going to try taking off the back first.
@@dslunsford1 The answer is no. If you want to clean up the membrane you need to remove the keys. However, in my case it was not necessary, I don't know what was the exact cause of the problem with my keyboard (certain keys typed multiple letters when pressed), but it was not because of a spill of liquid. I simply removed the back cover, dusted some dirt off, and assembled it back together. It did something because the keyboard worked as expected afterwards. I tried to remove some keys to clean the dirt stuck to the membrane under the keys, but desisted soon after I broke the plastic spring system under one key, so be careful with that if you decide to take apart the keys.
12:55 until 16:20 with wine between layers, instead of cutting membrane and all that the next 8 min of video, and especially rinse in water. water is the problem. I used CRC Contact Cleaner can spray and that always solves my electrical dirty contact problem. FYI. good luck. no cutting. no washing. just spray and let dry.
This keayboard is probably the most expansive shit I've ever bought. Plastics used outside and inside are like biscuits. It breaks so easly that you understant it's the poorest chinese manufactiring ever made.
Totally agreed
I have two of these keyboards. One of them I bought close to release (same year) and it is still working perfectly as of today. All keys work, backlight works, sensor works, no double preses, no missed keys, rubber domes are still in good shape, etc.
The second unit however, which I bought a couple of years after the first one (because of good experience with the first) had dead buttons within I believe the first 6 months or so. Logitech definitely started to produce less quality products at some point...
And yet their current MX Keys is the only option available on the market that appeals to me in the same way that the K800 did back in the day...
I've always encouraged friends and family to buy Logitech because with MS I had serious range & reliability issues, they don't allow you to pair with other dongles and they didn't encrypt all of their wireless keyboards even as recently as a few years ago. And Logitech battery life was just excellent (although not so much with this backlit model - they should have added more AA's for capacity). But I've also become more disillusioned with Logitech quality over the last decade. Plastics feel cheap, keys used by technical users are missing (Break), gimicky icons all over their function keys - when I glance down to find a special function key I need to be able to identify it QUICKLY - not go back and forth deciphering fucking hieroglyphs. The new MX Keys, though well reviewed, has several of these problems which puts me right off.
Very nice Video , thx 🙂
sadly my problem is my 7 and 9 key are dead which apparently is a different kind of problem.
Thanks a lot! My windows-home button is not working, but no sign of dirt in there. Any idea how to fix?
I did what you said. leave the membrane in the oven. Meantime. overnight it’s a problem again. any tips?
I dropped about half pint of rubbing alcohol about 3 hours ago I'm using it now will see how long it last. I did not disassemble. I just let it evaporate. At first it made the screen go crazy as if you were accidentally holding down the space bar or another key while watching a RUclips video. Let the alcohol evaporate. These do not seem to last very long. This is my 6th one it suits my purpose but this may be my last.
Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to separate the layers. wish me luck! haha
Can it work when i nothing cut but make wash in water my Keyboard and let it 2 weeks max dry??
why this annoying music ?
Did you happen to record the number on the battery? I am trying to read it, but can only make out SP80208? is this a 3.7v lithium ion?
Unfortunately the contacts on mine are gone, so after spending an hour getting into the guts of the thing and cleaning it all out, the button that was borked remains borked - my full stop key, incidentally
Now to find a new keyboard I guess - shame, this one was pretty awesome overall
The same :(
Did you find the same excellent keyboard?
@@maksimkovtun9517 Wound up getting an MX keys which is a nice little keyboard. It does apparently have some issues with sturdiness, as mild impacts can cause internal rattling, but mine's been holding up well so far.
very well done
Has anyone tried to find online the contact sheet?
I tried but didn't cut with the cutter inside so my problem is not solved.
Unbelievable the amount of tedious work! Not for me! I'll go and buy another one! But, yes, I know, is the challenge of it all! Kudos for that!!!
Baking at 45 actually worked? I have a feeling I have water in mine after I cleaned it from a coke spill. Some keys are still registering other keys. 45 I'm assuming is in Celcius?
Grat ❤
heres a pro tip , use my 2nd now .. guess i spilled a beer innit ... gonna wash it off if not.....im gonna smack it with a 5kg hammer
VV-A-A-A-UU! Thanks!!
just rinsed mine under the tap :P now its in the oven , lets see
How did that go? :D
I probably should have seen if it worked before I started trying while watching it, oh well.
well you only fall for it once... i hope :P
@@DreStyle It's ok, I have a cool light that turns on when I wave my hand over it, and a new keyboard that connects up to 3 devices
disposable
This is a ridiculous anti-consumer product - designed to make it difficult to repair common things like liquid spills.
I give up.
Does it work now?
Yes, works well, but for some reason, backlit blinks every 5 seconds.
bro you are king, but its too much work, fuck it i go buy new1 :)
annoying music
