Do as a lot of others have suggested - try and dry it out. If that doesn't work or you can't wait just buy a usb keyboard. They're as cheap as chips and available in many shops as well as online.

Have a look on Ebay for a replacement keyboard if everything else seems to work okay. My keys went the same as yours after coke was spilt on it. I am no techie and changed the keyboard on a Lenovo very easily. The keyboard only cost £15.0

If the enter and up/down navigation keys are working, you could always use the Windows onscreen virtual keyboard (if you have a USB mouse, this will help speed (relatively) things along!0

I think it translates to -Some of the keys are working again as you can see. Popped into repair shop and they suggested trying to dry it out near a radiator and then they will take a look if still a problem.
Tried last night to take it apart and it wouldn't come apart. fingers crossed. thank you for your suggestions.
That was my translation, anyway
