Laptop Motherboard or keyboard?

[skollin1]

Coffee was spilled on my laptop and not all they keys work now. I open it up and washed the motherboard and it still the same. The keyboard ribbon cable looks fine and and motherboard looks ok to. Is there a way to find out what it is?

Ya, saw it on youtube. As long as you take the cpu and fan/heatsink off and make sure it fully drys its fine.

If you washed your mobo by watching a youtube tutorial, you took an extreme risk. Now since you are running your computer, I assume you pulled it off and in all likelihood your keyboard is the one which is at fault. Try replacing the keyboard since it is the cheapest and easiest way to find out rather than replacing your mobo. You can also try a different keyboard from another (preferably similar) laptop to check, if you are confident enough to disassemble and reassemble them.
