You didn't mention it, but I am going to assume you have a laptop. If not, try replacing the desktop's wet keyboard - they are cheap and you probably can't fix the old one.

On your laptop, if it is a small amount of clean water sometimes all you need to do is get everything dry. Trapped water can stay liquid for a long time, so it is best to apply a small amount of heat. If it is warm outside, put the laptop in the sun for a few hours with the LCD open. Or, use a hair dryer - NOT a heat gun - directed toward the keyboard from a safe distance, about 12"-16" (300mm-400mm) for an hour or so. Don't overheat the keyboard; if it is too hot for your hand it is too hot for your keyboard. Of course, never let a hair dryer run unattended.

If this does not solve the problem, and the symptoms are limited only to the keyboard, you need to replace your keyboard. This is usually a simple repair. Check for a guide on this website to show you how to do the replacement, and then Google "laptop keyboard" to find a replacement. Shop around because prices vary considerably between vendors.

If the computer will not start up - other than "keyboard error, press F1 to continue" - or the screen is dark then the water likely got to the motherboard. This usually can't be fixed economically.

Good luck with your repair!
