I spilled juice on my Toshiba L505 s5993 laptop, and now the keyboard will not work. Please help.

I guess i assume this just happened, how long ago did this take place? I guess i assume this just happened, how long ago did this take place?

You dont want juice getting any further down into the laptop than the keyboard, as juice will cause circuitry failure.(leave itupside down on the towel if it just happened) . Fortunately laptop manufacturers sometimes account for this and put rubber guards under the keypads. I will go find you a pic of how to get the keyboard out so you can clean it on your model, watch for the comment.

STEP 1
First of all, turn off the laptop and remove the battery.
I'll start disassembly with removing the keyboard (Steps 1-6).
Using a sharp object carefully lift up the plastic bezel above the keyboard.

STEP 2
Remove the keyboard bezel.







STEP 3
Remove four screws securing the keyboard to the laptop


STEP 4
Carefully lift up the keyboard from the laptop.










STEP 5
Access the keyboard cable connector located under the keyboard.
You have to unlock the connector and release the cable before removing the keyboard.






STEP 6
In order to unlock the keyboard cable connector move the locking clip towards the LCD screen.Its Grey in the picture below.
Move it only about 2 millimeters. The locking clip must stay attached to the connector base.
BE VERY CAREFUL THE GREY CLIP ONLY MOVES 2mm
if you break it you will need to replace the Mainboard

now that you have your keyboard out you can try to finish cleaning the keyboard, with some windex and paper towel, without risking getting any more juice or what not inside the computer.
