glue

the method?

well I usually use rubbing alchol whenever I spill something on a
keyboard of any kind. I have never ruined a keyboard by doing this and
belive me I have spilled alot of things on my laptops keyboard

I've heard of ppl taking out the keyboard, rinsing with de-ionized water.

go to your local radio shack and get some electronic cleaner, ask the clerk
about using it and tell him what you want it for. Option two is buy a
replacement keyboard or option three is get a usb keyboard.

You could try to clean it but I dont think it will ever be the same
again

A replacement keyboard should not cost you very much, in fact a lot less
than the time and effort required to 'try' to fix it. Call HP Spares for
a quote.

If you need the part number check it out on HP's Parts Surfer website.

Remove the keyboard, take it apart, rinse it in water (preferably purified
water), and dry thoroughly. Do it ASAP, or the beer nasties will start
corroding the switch contacts.

The chances of success are very, very slim unless the keyboard itself
can be taken apart, and most can't, they are "welded" together by fusing
the plastic.
