Get a fork or a knife and take out the word thingys, and try wipe the wet bits out, then put the word thingys back possibly?

I spilt milk on my laptop keyboard before so I left it nect to the heater for about 3 days and it worked fine. I suggest you take the keys which are having the problem off and clean them and underneath the keys as there may still be a bit of water.

Take the keys off and wipe it. Leave it by a heater. If it don't work then take it back if you can.

Turn the laptop upside down and let the water drip out of it

Turn the laptop upside down and let the water drip out of it
But it will go though the other parts of the laptop if you let it drip..
And if it doesn't stop for about 4-7 days, then return it and ask if they can help (Where you brought it)
Or go to a shop where it fixes laptops or computers..

That would melt the keys, or even the plasticy bit's under the keys, not recommended

Please try this:
BE very careful and safe when doing this. MAke sure your laptop is turned off and unplugged.
After it is unplugged and turned off. Pop out the keyboard. To do this you will need to pop off the screen. Here is how:
If you look at this picture will map it out for you.

oh sorry. lol.
You could see if there is any water left out and wipe it off with a towel or let it air dry. You could also see if there is any damages to chip on the keyboard
