Ok so last night I was pre-lashing with some mates in my room and playing the pes drinking game. During that time, someone knocked over a drink onto my laptop - double vodka lemonade to be precise. Luckily my laptop was off at the time, and I left it all to dry out until just now in the hope that it would escape unscathed which it mostly has.
BUT the only problem is that my keyboard buttons are harder to push down compared to normal (im guessing because of the stickiness of the drink) so my question is this: Is there any way i can clean the keyboard so that the buttons are easier to push down?
Im not sure if this would be covered by dell warranty (if you think it might then please correct me) and i would prefer not to unscrew bits of my laptop as im pretty sure it would void the warranty and i would probably break it.
Any advice is appreciated! :)

HOWS CARDIFF? xD
doin my A-levels now :P
was in cardiff on friday night! where were you!?!
we have schweppes bitter lemmon, which sucks :d
All while off obviously X:
I work at a repair center for mobile phones, and well liquid damage is kinda easy to spot (leaves white and/or green marks behehind when dryed out).
and water etc can even damage your electronic machines when turned off.
I hope you get it fixed, but DON'T send it in for warranty because you'll just lose your laptop or you have to pay to get your broken laptop back from most repair centers. (dunno about dell though)
best thing to do I guess is, try to clean it with a soft brush with only a little alcohol on it and try to get between the keys. JUST NEVER USE WATER TO CLEAN ELECTRONICAL STUFF!
gl with it.
Corrosion on a simple connector or smth in you laptop can cause it to malfunction.
water in eletronical machines will look like this:
i'm not saying he should clean his laptop with vodka or smth.
