Fixing keyboard/touchpad on my laptop

So here is a whole story. I have Sony FE790, bought it 3 months ago. Today I spilled orange juice on the left side of keyboard and touchpad (like 10% of the cup). I took apart entire keyboard (pulled all keys, mechanism underneath the keys and so on) and cleaned it. In this proccess I broke like 6-7 mechanisms underneath the keys + key "x" glitches + now I noticed that left click button on my touchpad is not working. Feels likes some juice got underneath the touchpad and dried so it's hard to push left button and whole touchpad does not work. So what should I do? I see few ways:
1. Calling to Sony and asking them what to do. But what can I say? Will they fix everything for me? And I am sure it would take at least a month for them to fix it which is a problem for me cuz I am a student
2. Go to local/college repair shop. I am in UC Davis so I am sure there are bright students here
3. Buy a new keyboard for laptop ($70), take apart laptop, put new keyboard in and clean touchpad. I have never taken apart laptops but did it hundreds of times with PCs

Any suggestions? Right now i am leaning towards solution number 3. I am sure I am not the only idiot who spilled something on laptop... Thanks a lot and sorry for typos.

 

Best way to clean it is to use distilled water (Distilled water is water that has been boiled to a steam, the steam cooled down to re convert in water. This water has no minerals and no contaminants. Can be usually purchased at the local drugstore) once you have pulled out the keayboard from the laptop.

Do not used tap water!

Take a disk big enough for the keyboard to lay flat on the bottom and pour distilled water so that the keyboad is completly immersed and leave it for at least 24 hours so to dissolve the dried up juice.

After that leave it to dry for 24 hours and you can then re-install it.

Sorry, I have no idea on how you should proceed about removing the keyboard on your laptop, I never owned a Sony laptop.

Best regards

Lol you can put it in a dishwasher. There are guides on how to do it. Just make sure it is very very dry before you try to power it up. Like frenchnew said use distilled water if you are too concerned about tap water.

Usually you can find a brand new keyboard for under $30 on ebay but you've got a sony and sony parts harder to find.

 

If you broke the little mechanisms that hold the keys to the board, you're going to need a new keyboard without a doubt. I used to work at my college's computer store, and once those little things break, there's nothing you can do about it.

 

What about taking notebook apart to fix touchpad? Cuz I do not see any other way to clean two buttons from the touchpad

 

You could just do what a friend of mine did, use a USB external keyboard. But if you want to use them, go with the new keyboard, that is about all you can do. Take it to a shop/ someone at your school to see how to do it/ do it yourself. It is not that difficult, read the manual on what to do.
