Did you give the keyboard a good wash.  My last T61 keyboard survived a 
full glass of scotch and coke after a good rinse under the tap.  The 
main thing is to let the liquid run through rather then tipping the 
machine upside down, or anything like that, and obviously soak up as 
much excess as you can.
