Spilt wine on laptop keyboard.. only two keys damaged, anything I can do??

I spilt wine on my laptop (Acer TravelMate 244) keyboard and mouse. Thankfully the mouse works fine come morning and all keys eccept two.. my 7 and n.

Im currently using a plug in keyboard but its such a pain. If anyone has any ideas as to what to do please let it be known! I've attempted cleaning the areas but no luck. Dont really want to fork out or have the hassle of it being repaired for just a few keys if I can give something else a go first..

Big thanks! elackson25@hotmail.com

Use your virtual on screen keyboard, athe mouse will serve the function and you need not plug in an external keyboard

Unfortunately laptop keyboards are very sensitive to liquids being spilt on them. I have broken a few in the same way! You could try removing the keyboard and putting it somewhere warm for a few days like an airing cupboard but apart from that you will probably have to buy a new one.
