I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D. A glass of tea was spilled on it several months ago and I just turned it on and it is working but some of the keys do not work, shift, letter a and several more. If I replace the keyboard will this fix this problem or are there more parts that should be replaced? Thanks, Pam
