Need a new laptop keyboard

    Unfortunately diet coke spilled on my laptop keyboard today. I allowed it to dry out and the laptop itself is fine but a number of the keys wont work. I am hoping to buy a new one but can't seem to find one at all for my model. A repair shop quoted me 120 to replace it for me but I would rather do it myself.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b181ea sleekbook

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    If it only happened today it may not have dried out fully. I'd avoid using it for another 24hrs at least. After that you could remove the keyboard and give it a light wash with some soapy water and let it dry seperately.

    I have found a replacement keyboard but some state with/without frame. I think mine is with a frame as there are clips on the keyboard but does anyone know if I can buy one without a frame?
