Spilled wine on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop

Hello all--

I spilled wine on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop (model M105-S1021) last week.

I immediately doused the keyboard with isopropyl alcohol. Two days later all the keyboard came back except these keys:
J, Q, D, G, S, “, (comma)”, and ALT (left hand).

Since then I have dissembled the laptop using this site (http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptop...notebook-1.htm -- VERY good site by the way) as a guide and removed the keyboard and doused again with lots of isopropyl-- no effect.

I then used a Kleenex soaked with isopropyl and wet the connector which accepts the keyboard data cable and blew it out with ‘Dust-Off’. I did this a number of times. Next morning--- no affect.

Can you please advice me on my next steps to make these keys come back alive?

Thanks very much-- Rick
