Most of the time I clean my laptop keyboard with a wet cloth and right after that I clean it with dry cloth. This time I have used some wet wipes (containing no alcohol apparently). It´s been said that it´s meant to be used to clean different medical appliances (blood pressure monitors etc.). After I´ve used it 5-6 key stopped working. I´ve been pressing around the keys... in next couple of minutes almost all keys continued to function but one, key "E". Now when I turn on the laptop, in the login field everything is full, that key was "pressed" for like around 30 times, but when I try to press it myself it doesn´t work. Do you have any idea what could it be?
P.S.
I forgot to mention, it´s Lenovo B580.

To clean the keyboard, I usually set the vacuum on low and then vacuum the keys tilting it every so often to dislodge anything. Damp wiping would be the last thing to do.
