Default Computer repair in Welly

Can anyone recommend a lap top repair in Welly. One of my kids spilt chocolate milk on the keyboard. It still works but the keys are sticky
Looking on google it said it was easy to remove and clean the keys, it didn't say its impossible to put them back on

Thanks

Laptop keyboards are normally a single connection/plugin under itself. Might be cheaper to just order a new keyboard and swap it out. Just a few screws and it should slide out. Or do you not fancy that?

they usually have little plastic struts, are you sure you haven't mislaid some making it impossible for the keys to stay on?

kodachrome is an unknown quantity at this point

Just change the keyboard, it is nearly impossible to get the individual keys back on (Ive tried on several). If this happens in future, dont remove the keys, get some fast drying Electrical contact cleaner and blast the affected area with the battery removed (assuming you are sure the milk didnt go down into the chassis and past the keyboard of course).

"The Laptop Company" in Willeston Street are very good, friendly/knowledgable. Give them a call.
