If you keyboard does not work after it dries out:

You have 2 options
1) Buy a standard keyboard with a USB Plug. Plug in your USB port. After you restart your computer the keyboard should start working.

If you Google "Replace Keyboard" "your model" you should find the instructions on how to replace the keyboard. If you do not want to try to do this yourself you will need to take it into a shop.
