the example i have is
Samsung QX410

the coffee spilled and now the fix is going to take 360$ + tax for motherboard and keyboard.

would you rather me put the $ into a new laptop?

also the tech said i could just replace the keyboard, but the chance of survival of the laptop then is so-so..  that may make it cheaper, i would think.. he did not give a quote for just a keyboard change.

Coffee spill is very common. Keyboard costs $30 - $40. Strip laptop - youtube or guides everywhere, Can of cleaner spray maybe $20. (not the hard drive - just wipe it, but hit everything else)

Example CO Contact cleaner
