Keys type gibberish when typing how to fix?

I think I may have accidentally water damaged it while cleaning it, and I haven't been able to find any data on it such as schematics or teardowns, it also has very little salvage demand so if I am not able to fix it then I'll have to go to Samsung or keep it while it's providing no value

You can try cleaning it with some isopropyl alcohol though it's not guaranteed that it will work, if it doesn't a keyboard replacement will be needed. This is a common issue on laptops.

This worked thank you andrei. I didn't have any isopropyl alcohol on hand but I had 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes and I just used them to clean in between the keys that were not working and then turned the keyboard upside down to make sure no water seeped into the internals. I waited an hour or so for it to dry while i did some other stuff and I came back to a working keyboard
