With water damage, it’s rare for the keyboards to make it - even on a ThinkPad or Latitude. If I got liquid on my personal E6440 I’d probably be fine too, but I’m shopping for a keyboard because I already know it’s going to need to be done. I’d probably swap it over even if it keeps working while I have time, so it doesn’t start dropping keys like this.

It typically isn’t super complicated to swap out, but it isn’t like the T series since the Edge is a cost reduced SMB model, and serviceability is affected accordingly. I’m not sure about the Edu and Edge series because I tend to avoid “education” (and budget models that have no reason to exist) variants when the market is flooded with better machines or “retail” SKUs (or in some cases, gov’t models without webcams where everything else is solid other then the screen), which are sometimes purchased by large companies who do not want the cam. Hopefully it’s not spot welded in and you’re doing the palmrest assembly.

Look for the type number and see which one you have, since this isn’t like if I spilled anything on a personal machine I know how to do the BL upgrade on at will you need to match it. The FRU for the '''Type 6277/6886 is 04Y2763.'''
