I have a AN515-52, and i spilled some viscous liquid near the power button but it was only a pinch, so i just wiped it off, and continued on gaming (i really regret this decision).

 It worked fine for the following hours, i then went to sleep and on the next day, i booted up my laptop and only the powerbutton was working. I tried to fix the problem with the rest of the keys by uninstalling the driver and etc.

I then remembered that it may have been the spill, so i let my laptop rest for about three to five hours with the screen on the bottom, and then tried to boot it up. I found that the power button no longer worked as well and was pretty distraught. I then found out i could make it work by applying pressure on the area of the buttons near the power button  that it boots, then i had issues with it just stopping the boot immediately, at times it would reboot or i have to apply pressure on the areas again. There are times where i sucesfully boot into windows, and about a minute or so of use, it logs me out, showing my windows account sign in screen, then turns black all of a sudden, and tries to boot again. I noticed that it was like pressing the power button and then holding it down. There was also times where it would boot and i could use it normally, for like 10-20 minutes or so and then some action of mine, not sure if physically or on windows software, causes it to log me out and shut down compeletly. Note that the laptop keyboard is still completely useless.

Ive tried removing the back bezel reconnecting the keyboard to the motherboard, and even tried to remove everything so i could check if there was something i could do with the keyboard itself but i faced an obstacle, layer which needed a certain type of driver, not the typical starshaped used in the other parts.

What do you guys think i could do?  Is this fixable?
