Hello, I think it can work somehow. Loose the key board and look for a dried place to keep it, so that when it dries, you can take a look At the key that is not working

There's a need for you to bring your netbook to a service center to check for any possible hardware problem. Usual cleaning should be able to resolve this issue but if not it requires a local service center to ran further check on your netbook.

Matthew.,

Before you declare the keyboard dead and unusable please do the following. Use the hairdryer without heat to blow cold air into the keyboard. This will remove all traces of water that may be shorting the keys. Do it for quite sometime as you have to ensure that there is no water left under the keys.

All the best

Keyboard not working

sounds like the liquid did its damage to the motherboard. you could try removing the keyboard and cleaning the inside out using a magnifying glass and some q-tips but does not sound good my friend. i suggest you take it in to a repair shop nearby and have then do a thorough inspection but be prepared to have to replace the motherboard if it has damaged or corroded solder joints


good luck!
