Keyboard keys don't work after cleaning

I cleaned the the keyboard on my MacBook Pro 13” Unibody, Early 2011 model, A1278 / 2.7 GHz yesterday using a aerosol duster and cotton swab moistened with alcohol and now several of the keys don't work. I was thinking it was condensation but nothing has changed since yesterday. The Apple dealer says they no longer supply parts for it and I don't see a replacement keyboard available on iFixIt. What should I do? I like this Mac and don't want to replace it. Thanks.

@ronxanderson, Ron Anderson, Did a google search for replacement key board and posted a couple links of many that came up selling keyboard(verify correct part for your device, if ordering). Also link to how to remove individual keys for cleaning and a link for key board replacement. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Try to locate a repair store that fixes MacBooks and maybe they have a key board you can buy or have. Or check eBay for a damage MacBook and swap the keyboards.
