    "It was working awhile ago but then i closed it (my lapyop) and now all the keys are all ****ed up.

    Like i spilled it 2 hours ago, was working fine after i cleaned it up. Then I closed my laptop and opened it again and now its all ****ed up."

    that was 2 weeks ago

    It sounds like you spilled something on the laptop and the keyboard is FUBAR now. If that's the case, you are going to have to pay for a new one. Be happy it didn't get down to the motherboard!

    sorry i was in a rush

    I did spill water on it. It was working fine after I wiped down the top of the keys. 2 hours later I open the laptop and the keys are really messed up, MOST of them. I had to pry out the ones that didn't work and wipe the inside, that worked for most of the messed up ones. Still, the "J" key, and the arrow keys are not functioning. Is there anything I can do or is it unfixable? because I do not have the money to pay for a new one

    its the whole keyboard. You will have to call them to see if it is in fact the one but I think they are standard for this Manufacturer.
