Quoted from Scott Finnie (a well known techie):

Years of torture-testing notebook PCs at PC/Computing in the
90s taught me that the two most vulnerable parts of a notebook
are the screen and the keyboard. Of the two...

the keyboard is far more vulnerable on most notebooks. Even a little
bit of liquid spilled in a keyboard can...

...fry your notebook permanently!

Hmmm... wondering if something did get spilled?
