Oops!

Same thing happened with my daughters lap-top and because of the sugar
in the drink......the keyboard quickly sticks!

You did the right thing trying to clean it up (hopefully with a dry cloth) and
leaving it to dry out for a day or two.

Before you do anything else, check the warranty....if it's still in date, just take it back and put the blame on the kids! lol

If it is out of warranty and your not covered by any insurance you may need
to open it up, clean it with a vacuum cleaned...no don't put it on the carpet
and run over it.......attach the hose and work between the keys!

You can also use cotton buds babbled in a small amount of hot water, to dissolve the sugary syrupy goo that you will find.

You will also need to clean the underside of the keyboard, hence, open it up.
But if you really not comfy taking the lap-top apart....then don't.

Find a good repair shop and let them do the work for you.

Good luck....hope you get it working soon!
