I was moving some cords around, and the cord caught a beer bottle which was about 3 quarters full, landed on my laptops keyboard, i used paper towels, and turned it upside down and shook it....... after a while only some keys were working, but a letter at a time (g, b & h) were being held down, so i used a hair dryer for a while, my computer is responding, im actually using the on screen keyboard to type this, but my keyboard keys arent working. I also keep getting a notification about a usb port not being recognizable every second, with the usb input sound going off constantly. i dont know what to do. please help, thanks

Take apart the laptop to get the keyboard out and clean it. Make sure everything is dry. Laptop keyboard replacements aren't too expensive (maybe around $10-$15) so don't worry too much if that's what you got to do. If it's a macbook, then it's going to cost you... You could try using a USB keyboard in the mean time also.

You could also try sobering up. Only kidding haha :)
