Fantastic news!! 75Center and Oerets, thanks for your offers and calling Sandy, I mentioned that a few days ago and was going to call myself after hospital rounds this morning.
Tell him to stop drinking that rot gut drain cleaner! See, it even dissolves or shorts out keyboard electronics. If it had been Tennessee whiskey, bourbon, or even vodka, it would have cleaned the contacts and then evaporated.
That said, has he tried a spare keyboard from Goodwill or the local electronics retailer? Usually a keyboard fault on a desktop keyboard won't kill a computer itself unless the diet coke fried the USB connection and that damaged the USB and power system on the motherboard. Now spilling diet coke on a working laptop keyboard, that's instead dead computer, been there, done that.
Fixed it for ya!
No sweat theophile, I know there were more than a few of us who might have been wondering the same thing.

Glad to hear Sandy is still with us, and I can send him a usb keyboard if that will help. I literally have one laying a foot from me that I don't need.
When you are finished calling yourself, don't forget to call Sandy. Thanks mate.
Well THAT'S Good News. 
It's a LAPTOP keyboard IIAC a Toshiba laptop.
Otherwise I would have quietly shipped him one of my extras.
I got a deal where I HAD to get a quantity... so they're new. Both USB and PS/2 plug types.
A whole pile of them just gathering dust

laptop keyboards are relatively cheap ..its the damage to the laptop that is the problem if it gets that far .
it could be disconnected and external used instead but might take some getting used to .
