Corsair K70 RGB dead :(

[ispasion22]

I received a Corsair K70 RGB keyboard in working condition... Or at least it seemed so. It didn't turn on RGB the first time and I thought it needed more current, so I connected it to usb3.0, although the plugs are 2.0...
I thought that a thorough cleaning would free her from this behavior. I did the cleaning with a hair brush and cotton buds with isopropyl alcohol.
The outcome?
Disastrous...
The keyboard started not being seen by the computer, not even in the BIOS.
I called the Corsair service, they sent me a "special" firmware, rather strictly for my version, but I didn't solve the problem either. And then nobody said anything...
Now she is dead for good.
What solution do you recommend?
Thank You

What solution do you recommend?

Open trash bin -> put K70 inside -> close trash bin

We are no Corsair Service, what do you want to hear?
1. I do not recommend most of Corsairs keyboards because of non standard layout and dying LEDs. Good job that you still bought Corsair.
2. You did a bad job cleaning the keyboard. Repair it by yourself. How shall we know what you did wrong?!

Hold your horses jacky, may daily keyboard is a Deck Legend
I'm not a Corsair peripherals fan either, but when you get something you think it can be solved somehow, not thrown away at first hand.
Then... cleaning a keyboard (especially a mechanical one) is a healthy habit, after all
