spilled milk but everything working except a dozen keys not working
My daughter spilled milk on my MacBook Pro 5 days ago and we cleaned it as much as we can but the liquid was all over the keyboard.
After shoving it into rice bag for 3 days I pulled it out and it seems everything is working except a dozen keys are either not type what it supposed to or typing some weird characters.
I have to use external keyboard. How do I fix my keyboard? any ideas?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Well, you fell for it! Rice or any other desiccant will not remove liquids this is an old urban legend.
The thought was if it can take moisture out of the air then it can do the same for something thats sopping wet!
Sadly, it only pulls moisture out of the air and even letting the equipment to dry out on its own will not remove the solids thats in the drink or even water (salts & minerals) all of which over time eat away at your delicate electronics.
For now disconnect the battery and keep your system cool until you have the time to properly clean your system. The sooner the better!
