problematic P key

I had an unfortunate spillage last night with a glass of wine that resulted in a damp laptop keyboard!
I instantly dried up the spillage and all seemed ok. This morning i've discovered that when i hit the P key a screen comes up with 4 options for screen display mode, stating computer only, duplicate, extend and projector only.
I'm hoping that in my panic to dry out the laptop i may have hit a shortcut key. Everything else works.
Do i now own a faulty laptop? it's amazing how many times i need the letter P, i couldn't even sign in on this site due to a P in my password. I'm currently writing this on my old desktop.
For info my laptop is an Asus UL30A running with windows 7.
Thanking in advance.

Sound to me that someone (you, or a person who does this for a living) ought to open up the keyboard and clean it thoroughly. Might cost more than your bottle of wine...0

As john says the keyboard needs to be cleaned. It seems the keys are connected somehow, highly probability is that inside the board it is not dried yet.
Good luck!0
