Don't wait. Take the computer to a repair facility. The damage that can be caused far exceeds the problem of sticky keys. Soda with sugar and other minerals will eventually cause damage to the motherboard. Having waited as long as you have means such damage is already underway, and the longer you wait the more expensive will be the repairs.

Hi Lacey,

I agree with Kappy, you need to get the machine into a service provider... ASAP. That top case / keyboard assembly needs to be opened up to determine what damage the soda may have really caused (corrosion).

Manually removing each key to clean the underneath is pretty tedious and will no doubt result in broken "key cap seesaws." It might almost make more sense to replace the top case all together (run you about $125 if you DIY). But that still won't address what (if any) damage has occurred to the "guts" of the machine.

Hi laceymcadams,

No offense to Best Buy (and Geek Squad) but for something like this, I think you'll be much better served by taking it into an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

You can check this website as well (plug in your zip code) to see who's local-ish.

Best Buy is an authorized Apple reseller. The Geek Squad is supposed to be able to repair Macs. But if there's an authorized Apple retailer nearby they may be a better choice.

Note that the longer you wait the more damage is being done to your computer.
