    So I had a minor spill on my keyboard around the spacebar area and now the spacebar button and the cntrl button won't work.

    Whats the best way to go about fixing this and is there any hope to salvage the keyboard or do I have to replace it and how so?

    Thanks

    You need to remove it and dry it out, hopefully it will work after you dry it for a good while. Liquid damage doesn't allow for a warranty replace, but you can buy a new keyboard and let them ship it to you, shouldn't take long to reach. I should know, my keyboard got liquid on it before, stopped working completely.

    Just contact the original maker of your brand (I assume it's Sager since you're in the Sager/Clevo forum) and just tell them you want to buy a keyboard, and they'll tell you shipping and the price of it.
