Acer Aspire 3000 keyboard

had coffee spilled on it and now everything works fine but the "f" and "x" keys. What would you recommend as the best way to move forward?

Check ebay or computer supplier for a replacement. They aren't very expensive and incredibly easy to replace.

I would tear the keys off and clean it.

Also, if you're bold, you can try removing the keyboard, slipping off the conductive sheets and cleaning the f and x sensors with rubbing alcohol.

I would have recommended that! If not, a replacement is in order.
