Default Alienware M9700 attacked by beer!

Hello all!

So I made the mistake of spilling beer all over the keyboard...immediately I turned it off and tried to clean it. I took q tips and tried to get it all off in all the edges and stuff. Maybe a bad idea. When I turn on now, only half the keys work.

Please help! I had to type this with on-screen keyboard So have any ideas?

Pull the keyboard apart and clean it well.
Still doesnt work?Buy a new one.
If you are drinking dont keep typing when you are drunk enough to spill beer all over your keyboard.
And on that note......oh sh*t! My Warsteiner!
Edited for multiple typos.lol

ok so i went to the store and got a computer toolkit, multitool, compressed air and cleaning solution....it took me forever to dismantle my laptop enough to get at the keyboard, seeming as ive never did anything like this before. sure enough there was beer all over inside of there...so i cleaned it and everything, managed to put it all bac ktogether fine, et no luck with it....DAMN! but i also luckily bought a spare keyboard at the store too....good thing. so essentially i have a desktop now that looks like a laptop. Great!

Thanks :)
