1. Accurate description of problem. (does it occur randomly or is it repeatable)
1/3 cup tea spill on laptop keyboard. In few seconds, I flipped it and tried to wipe it and dry it using wife's hair dryer. Laptop worked for a while and then space key kept on getting stuck and then laptop became non-functional with occasional beeping noise. I mean I could see laptop working fine but I couldn't use laptop keyboard or external keyboard at that point.
2. Device make and model
Laptop is HP Probook 470 G5
3. OS / firmware version
Windows 10
5. Is this for home use or business use?
Work from home.
8. What did you try to fix the issue?
I saw this video and unhooked the keyboard cable from slot, put back the keyboard and using external keyboard now. All seems good and I have used it for 8+ hours now so laptop looks ok.
What I am looking for: Advise
I didn't spot any tea trace on the flip side when I removed laptop keyboard so would it be safe to say that I can just replace keyboard and it will be ok? Could it have seeped somewhere else that I need to watch out for? I tried to look but keyboard bottom side is absolutely dry so I can't imagine how it would have gone anywhere else. I wonder why it beeped. Would it have seeped towards speaker and I missed it?
Also, I didn't find keyboard replacement for this exact model. Do we have any resellers here?
Thank you.
