Blackwidow Chroma not turning on after small spill

I spilled a drink on my keyboard and it is no longer sending key inputs or lighting up when plugged into my computer (but my computer recognizes that its plugged in).

After the initial spill (a small splash on a few keys), I cleaned the effected area. I thought it was all fine until I noticed the keyboard was giving 'ghost' inputs (SHIFT and another key). I unplugged the keyboard and further cleaned the area again and remove potential debris from the keys.

Now, after plugging the keyboard back in, it does not light up or send inputs to my computer. I'm assuming I may have accidentally shorted it somehow? Is there anything I can do to attempt to repair my keyboard? Thanks!

Yes, disassembly it completely, then use IPA (100% Isopropyl Alcohol) to clean the PCB (with brush).
