    Help! I just spilled some soda on my FZ17G's Keyboard. I need to know, is it spill proof?

    I've cleaned it up as best as i can, though i'm sure there will be stains under the keys. Anyone know what the best way to get rid of the stains are?

    Thanks

    Yeah, it's still working. Does removing the keyboard involve disassembling the rest of the laptop or is there a way to just take out the keyboard without disassembling anything else?

    Did you ever take your laptop far enough apart to replace the keyboard? If so, got any tips to pass on? Thanks!
