Try cleaning it again and then have it (without keys) sitting in the window or near a heater (keep an eye on it).
If that doesn't work them it's probrably busted....and I hear laptop keyboard replacements can get expensive.

do you need to use it 'portably' - cos you could always lug a usb keyboard in.
seems worrying that rather than not working, the keys are replacing themselves with other letters - sounds like you take sugar ?

House insurance?
And £200 to replace? The laptop i am looking to buy (well, be bought) only costs another £100 on top of that (yeah, it's a pants laptop - but it's only to run a few programs like Eclispe, Netbeans and Visual Studio)

IIRC, Slappeh recommended lifting all the keys off, then scrubbing the underlying board vigorously with soapy water and a brillo pad. This makes sure that there is no stale milk smell, or sticking afterwards.
You could use kitchen roll to dry it off, but I find a hairdryer blasts the remaining water out of the way and into the voids inside the case typically used for battery drainage, but same thing applies here.
Hope his advice helps  _________________  The Pancreas of S.T.F.U. | Never take life too seriously - nobody gets out alive anyway. Disco_jim: um..... I have no excuse. | Chips: Thank the Beef | Rev Dr: Beef, I think i wee'd a little

Good luck repairing, at least you have the usb option.
