    Hi All
    My cat knocked a glass of juice over and some splashed onto the keyboard of my month old SR290. Multiple sticky keys and some just aren't working. I took a couple of sticky keys off to clean with rubbing alcohol and a q tip and now they don't work (they did before cleaning). Don't know what the alcohol did to it. TBH, it seems near impossible to clean this thing. Anyhow, I was looking around for a replacement keyboard and came across this...

    With shipping is comes to $26.50
    seems like a good deal but is this the right part?

    hmmm, according to the Sony parts website, they do not have any parts for the SR in stock. Nice. I bet they have it in stock if you send it to them for repair...but they'll tack on $100 for labor for something that takes 10 minutes.
