Did I fry my keyboard?

I cleaned my aluminum wired apple keyboard. Guess I got to much water and cleaner inside. Doesn't work now .
Will it ever work again?
Also the keyboard I have right now sucks, but I have another really sticky wireless keyboard. Would it be allright to (take out the batterys) and soak it in hot soapy water? Then let it dry for like a week?

I've cleaned keyboards in the dishwasher before and they worked fine later 
Not wireless keyboards though. I dunno about that.
How long did you let it dry for before trying it?

You might have fried it, you might not. Pull it apart let it dry out properly and use some contact cleaner on it. I seem to habitually spill beer on mine every so often they generally survive though. 
Edit: Bah didn't realise this was a month old apologies.

haha, no problem.
As it is made by apple it is sealed shut and warranty sucks, however after letting it it dry or probably soaking it in distilled water seems to fix it (luckily it hasn't been fried so far exept for the other one I had to get replaced and Iv'e spilt crap in it again since I posted this )
I love this keyboard but never again will I spend this much, amazon makes awesome plastic ones just the same for 10$.
oh yeah.. I also soaked that wireless keyboard in the bathtub and gave it to my bro
