If this is a 16-inch model as shown in your equipment line, the keyboard is integral with the upper deck assembly and can cannot be detached for service.


I would be more concerned with what went past the keyboard onto the logic board. Exactly what kind of drink spilled? Many are acidic and their residue can eat away at connectors over time. Your can spend US$500+ on a new deck assembly today and still have the computer completely fail next month.
