Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 
For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

As I understand several keys aren't working after liquid was spilled on your laptop,

 

If the issue occurred after an accident (such as dropping it on the floor, etc.) there could be a hardware failure and in such cases, you may need to get the computer repaired via HP (there could be a charge involved if the PC isn't covered by the accidental damage protection plan)

 

The best thing to do is to Contact HP so that a thorough check could be done to ensure all the parts are intact without any short circuits caused by the liquid spill
If you wish to replace the keypad on your own, you could do so at your own discretion as HP doesn't recommend changing parts outside HP.

You could find the part using this link: Click here (if you decide to replace the part).


Keep me posted,

I hope you have a good day ahead,
And Feel free to ask your queries as this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help.
