Wine spill -- Laptop works but the keyboard doesn't

I spilled wine on my laptop keyboard, tried to clean up as much as I could and then let it dry for 3 days with the battery out.

As far as I can tell, everything on the laptop is working except the keyboard.

Can you tell me what I need to do to repair the broken keyboard? Do you think I need to replace the keyboard or the whole upper case?

thanks!!

Here's a video on cleaning your keyboard. If that doesn't work you will probably have to replace it. Ralph

Here's how to install it: MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Model A1211 Keyboard Replacement

Remember to tape down the motherboard connection with electrical tape. This cable coming loose is the most common problem on this repair.
