G50vt-x5 replacement keyboard?

So, my slob of a friend spilled BEER all over his laptop's keyboard while playing warcraft 3. He can't use most of the keys, including all the number keys. To add hurt to the situation, he (for reasons unknown) decided he was going to pop off some keys to "inspect the problem" (he has NO computer knowledge). in the process he broke 3 of the keys to the point where they couldnt be put back on. Whereabouts do i find a replacement keyboard for his g50vt-x5? I checked the asus estore and found nothing.

Out of stock but that's the one.

 

Is that the Best buy version...you can or maybe get them to replace it...for free if less than a year..they might just refer you back to ASUS for their accidental warranty...I always registered all my system in case of bad habits!!

 

I guess some people just have to learn the hard way not to put anything liquid within arms reach of a computer. PERIOD.

 

...necessary?
