Remove the keyboard by removing the screws from the bottom, and be careful with the ribbon caable. then turn it upside down tilted downward a little to the left side in a warm environment with a little warm dry air flow... give it at least three days (five if possible) to allow it to dry internally..
Usually that works, and you have no more troubles.. If not, replace it. I often buy Thinkpad keyboards on eBay for as low as $17, and no more for brand new than $45. Good luck. Keyboards are usually not a problem if you give them enough time and air to dry out completely.. RayBay - - - - - Last, but not least, avoid clichés like the plague. ... .... ..... ...... .......
