Spilled medicine on my keyboard. My "number one" key does not
work (laptop) It's not sticky, though some keys were and I alcohol- swabbed/cleaned underneath them with the machine off. In fact, a few ,pre keys didnt work before but now its just the "one" key. I can use tle lower case L if I really need it, anything I can do?

1. Laptops are touchy about that
If you can take the cover and key caps off, swab it some more and let it dry thoroughly, it might start working again. Otherwise you'd have to replace the keyboard or use an external one.
