I also am experiencing a spill problem. Spilled Febreze and rubbing alcohol on it, only a small amount, its completely unresponsive. Down to using onscreen keyboard. HP Pavilion 17, Thank goodness it still boots to desktop. Looking into getting usb keyboard.

So if I understand this correctly water got into the keyboard and now it doesn’t work. First thing I would do like somebody else mentioned is connect up a usb keyboard and see if it will respond to that, then make sure that the trackpad (how you move the mouse) is still functional if that is still functional then really all you need to do is replace the keyboard which depending on the model should not be that hard.
