Keys not working on laptop!

connundrum · 2006-07-24 11:20:52

hey, spilled tea on the laptop last night - few drops, nothing major. 3 keys aren't working but everything else is a-ok. Is this an easy fix or am I looking at hundreds of bills? :(

Depends on the damage. Did you lift off the keys in question and see if there's any blockage under them? Switch off the laptop and remove the battery, then remove the keys and clean around them with a slightly damp cloth. If the blockage is under the membrane of the switches then I don't know how you would go about fixing it, could be difficult.
