1 Keyboard stopped working after cleaning
So I was cleaning my keyboard with a Clorox wipe and the keyboard started repeating and eventually stopped working. I read online to pour distilled water in order to release the chemicals and let the laptop dry off. Now the keyboard completely does not work anymore. Trackpad and power button are both fully functional and I am also able to connect an external keyboard in order to use it. What should I do. Should I replace only the keyboard. Does anyone have a link to the tools needed to replace the keyboard. Thanks
Is this a good question?

First off, did you pour water directly on your keyboard? That’s what I’m getting out of this.

you KILLED keyboard with water (does not matter distilled)
Is dead as Do-Do
If will not magically start working after about 24hrs is more than dead - pray you did not liquid damaged motherboard as that will be dead MacBook too.
Keyboard can be replaced but takes a time and knowledge - I would not recommend you to do this as you pour water on keyboard and you are surprised it is not working.
