    Asus laptop, bad keyboard after cleaning

    I have a Asus laptop that I was cleaning, changing thermal paste etc.
    It was really disgusting, filled with dust and soda, typical teenage laptop.
    It was working before I cleaned it but was heating up and had loud fan noise.
    I had to completely disassemble it and clean each part in it, had no noticeable troubles except when I was trying to open the cover with the keyboard, it was like it was glued together.
    I put it all back and turned it on and everything is working except for the keyboard, power button works and few keys, 5 and 6 and H that I remember atm, but when I press 5 for example I get the letters 6j and other keys do the same or give me j6. If i hold down ctrl, shift or alt I still get 6j or j6 when pressing the other keys.
    Unfortunately I dont remember the model and I cant reach it until tomorrow.

    Any idea what might be wrong?
    I dont have access to same or similar model to try swapping keyboards.
    I'll have to go looking around on Monday for replacement parts if I cant figure this one out.

    I do have pictures of it.

    Edit:
    I forgot to mention that I had to put the keyboard in the sink and brush it with water, and I dried it thoroughly with pressure air.

    Any sort of liquid getting inside a keyboard will permanently destroy it.

        Some keyboards have silicone which deteriorates when it comes into contact with any liquid (even without any cleaning agent) - deionized water, IPA etc
