Keyboard with water damage
My keyboard got wet and now a few keys are not working. Is the keyboard for the XPS replaceable?

@gts112009 yes it is but a bit of a PITA. Download the maintenance manual from here Page 77 will show you how to do it. 30 Philips screws keep the keyboard attached to the palm-rest assembly (basically your top case)

Before you replace the keyboard, check the Keyboard Control Board. This is just under the battery, removal is described in the manual.
I had water damage, replaced the keyboard which was a PITA, to then find out that is was the contacts on one of the sockets on the Keyboard Control Board that had failed.
Hope the helps someone!
