    I spilled drink on my mini. Keyboard partly works. I hit and l and lo9 comes on screen. it is reading every key above it . the keys below that are fine. I can scroll with my finger, I can access internet. computer works fine, but the keyboard is jacked.
    My question is: do you think it is worth thie 20-30 bucks to get a new keyboard and tryin ti out? are these keyboards user replacable? anyadvice would be welcomed. I took it appart and tried cleaning the keyboard with alcohol, but nothing changed.

    Thank
    Randy

    Yes it's worth getting a new one. At least you will have a normal keyboard. It is easy to replace provided you notice the latch and undo it instead of just yanking the ribbon cable out, which could make the problem a bit more difficult.
