Plug in a USB keyboard.

Yes, try plugging in a usb keyboard and wait for the laptop keyboard to 'dry out'

Also, if it stays sticky, laptop keyboards aren't usually terribly difficult or expensive to replace (just needed to remove two screws to do it on my Dell recently, and paid £20 for a new keyboard), although I have no specific experience of your brand.

Wilkinsons do a USB keyboard for £4.39, Otherwise get a cheapy one off Play or Amazon for around a fiver.

Hi,

Argos, £5.49,
Argos Value Range Wired Black Keyboard. 675/1346


or you could use the on screen keyboard:

xp:Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > On–Screen Keyboard

vista: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Ease of Access > On Screen Keyboard.
