Spilled liquid on MacBook Pro spacebar, now half of keyboard doesn’t work.
After the spill, I lightly wiped over the keyboard with a slightly damp-to-the-touch napkin and cleaned under the spacebar, then half of the keyboard stopped working. It wasn’t wet enough to affect anything, but everything was fine until I wiped it down. Strangely enough, the spacebar still works. As time has progressed, more keys have been affected. Since the keyboard is broken, I can’t reset the PRAM, restore the computer, or do anything upon booting. For some reason, the computer boots in safe mode without pressing any keys. Also, in the keyboard settings under “Input Sources”, some of the keys would register as strange symbols. Should I wait it out? Should I replace the keyboard? An external keyboard works, but that is inconvenient.
