I remember back on the macaddict forums someone had a similar situation and decided it was a good idea to put it in an oven to speed up the drying process.

Burnt the heck out of it.

So yeah, do what Lau said if you're still here.

next time, buy some distilled water, and 70% isopropyl alcohol (Go To Grocery Store, and it should be by the rubbing alcohol).

Get an old spray bottle, and clean the heck out of it with water and washer detergent(Doesn't Foam).

Fill the container with 50 - 70% distilled water, and the rest with the alcohol.

Get a 100% cotton cloth, or a microfiber cloth.

Spray the solution directly onto the cloth, not too much though. And lightly brush the keyboard with the cloth.

Clean :)

Sounds like you shorted something, so take it to the store and have it checked out if it still doesn't work after you dry it.

EDIT: Looks like the OP is already doing that.

Got my computer back today. It was a short, they repaired it and installed a new keyboard, it was still under warranty so it was free. Would have cost me $202. Thanks to everyone who helped me out!

Start fast, fade down the stretch... that's your M-O through the years!
Just take care of those Gators and Vols and I'll be happy to let you finish 2nd!
