Basically, I recently had an accident take place that caused some liquid to splash onto my laptop's keyboard, I immediately dried the computer with a towel and carefully shake out any remaining liquid from all the crevices in and around the keys and then sat it upside downs with a small fan in front of the keyboard for a few hours to hopefully dry anything left. It seemed to do the trick, and everything was still working smoothly but after a couple of days had passed, I noticed when I would pick up the computer or moved the bottom half of the laptop that they keyboard is built into in any way that I would hear a cringeling noise coming it. and a little why longer after I began to notice the keys on the right side of the keyboard were sticking and becoming hard to press and feeling gummy. so, I'm guessing that the liquid and the sugars in it (it was sweet, iced tea that spilled), didn't fully dry or drain out from the crevices and sadly at the moment my computer is out of warranty so I need to know how to safely and properly remove the individual keys and begin to clean them so I can restore my computer back to its proper working condition. I really don't want to break any keys or mess anything up worse than what it is already so any help would be appreciated, thank you!
