Some Buttons on keyboard don't work

[mxzeal]

Hello,
about 8 months ago i spilt water on my labtop and i did all i could to prevent anyway water damage.
It went well except for a few buttons that don't work (5,6 and the _ ) sometimes the buttons work when i press it but its very rare is there anything i can do now to maybe fix them?

thanks.

what model laptop do you have? some are easier to replace keyboards than others.

I don't really want to "replace" the keyboard i could just use 5 and 6 on numpad and when i wanna use underscore i just copy and paste it from google im just looking for a simple non payment sollution if possible

Well you can still try cleaning the button contacts by taking the keyboard or the keys off.

Hi

I own a laptop repair company...and you are correct, they often DONT go back...

Just buy a new keyboard...they are cheap and easy to change...

All the best Brett
