So best bet is to bin and start again? Happy for you to just say yes if it's the truth lol, i'd sooner spend the £ on a new laptop than all the repair prices being offered. I just had hoped a new keyboard might do the trick.

Yes.

At least that is what I would do. I would not spend any money on a water damaged computer.

Hi all,

Yes i stupidly spilt water over my 2020 Air, got it away quick enough, and put the laptop upside down etc and left to dry.

Notice keys were not working sometime after + left again for a period.

Took to Apple + was given silly quotes to fix, with uncertain results, and increased costs resulting in the price of a new one pretty much. Thank you, no ty.

Bought new replacement keyboard and passed onto father in-law. Replaced no problem, but the A+D keys still not working, and that was the issue before replacement.

What is the issue now probably?

The issue is the computer was water damaged. Liquid damage is often extensive and ongoing due to corrosion.
