If it's a desktop, buy a new keyboard.

If it's a laptop it is relatively easy to replace the keyboard yourself.

If you have not already tried, you could try a gentle use of a hair dryer on low setting and blow it across the problem keys incase there is still some liquid that has not dried up yet. If it was a 'gooey' substance that was spilt on the keys, or even Coffee can be a problem, it may be difficult to sort.

If all else fails you will probably require a new / replacement keyboard. What is the make / model number of the laptop?

Make a claim on your home insurance,ring them and find out if it is covered.

Wind up. If it were true, there'd be no gap in suggestions, just suggestios.
