The matrix got damaged by whatever you spilt on it - keyboards don’t survive spills often, if at all on just about all laptops. Go through the Lenovo HMM and find the keyboard that corresponds to your specific country. It’s also on your old one, should you not be able to find it - I know in the T420 HMM there was a list but I don’t see one for the T430.

The procedure looks very similar, although there are a few minor differences. Shouldn’t take you longer then 30 minutes if you’re careful to change it. I can do it in 5-10 but that’s because I’ve worked on ThinkPads before.
