How to remove water inside pc keyboard, without opening it?

I've tried shaking it, and puting it in front of the fan to heat it up a little bit, bu nothing works, when I press 1 it shows 12, a - as, y - yx, d - df and it annoys me.

Btw there aren't any screwdrivers it's a slim Genius keyboard .

Update:

screws my bad :D

Update 2:

It was passed 24h and still it's the same, I doubt that something is gonna happen in 48h, but I'll give it a go. Tnx DeMoNsLaYeR575.

Update 3:

I'll try that with uncoocked rice. Tnx TWB and chrisjbsc.

Update 4:

It worked, I've left it in uncooked rice for 2 weeks, and it's like new. I put it in a rag, and left it. Tnx TWB. :)

    This might sounds weird but it has worked before. Completely cover the keyboard in uncooked rice for 24 hours. The rice will soak up all the moisture. The whole keyboard must be covered completely, top, bottom, sides.

    Source(s): TWB 35+ years of experience in the service industry. You name it, I have probably fixed it. I did not design it, I did not build it, I did not break it, but I am the one who can fix it. What that means is that I have spent a life time taking these things apart and seeing how they are made. The difficult we do right away, the impossible just takes a little longer. I hear voices, so please be quiet so I can listen to them.

    Unplug it and turn it over so the water can drip out and the rest should evaporate after 24-48 hours.

    Go online using the same computer/keyboard you are now, and buy yourself a new slim Genius keyboard.

    Warm, dry, Airing cupboard, for 4 days, in a paper bag with uncooked rice to absorb the moisture.

    you wait.... DONT use it for 24 to 48 hours if you do you risk ruining the keyboard and possibly cause a fire (shorting out the lithium battery)
