Averatec Lappy screwing up... help?

Question

My Averatec Lappy is screwing up I'm not sure if it's a virus or because I recently spilt water on it. Probably the water. Anyway the thing is when I hit certain keys for example Q I get 1q. Can any one tell me whats wrong and what I can do to rectify the problem?

Hi. Sounds like the connection path inside the keyboard is shorted. (The '1' and 'Q' share one common path) Try to remove the Q key by gently prying it up on both sides. Look at the board underneath for any signs of junk or liquid. If so, clean with 90% alcohol and try it. Good luck!
