Laptop: HP Pavilion x360 Convertible

Problems found:
  • Unable to type with built-in keyboard (Light indicators in Caps Lock and Mute key are fine).
  • Shift key virtually stuck. (Turns on the filter keys panel everytime I open the laptop)
  • On-screen keyboard and wireless keyboard also affectedm
  • Restarting laptop resets certain settings to default but deletes all my files.
  • Cursor movement is uncoordinated.

Probable cause: Ethyl alcohol (Tried to use it to clean the surface. Accidentally poured a lot directly on the keyboard).

Laptop's new and fine before it happened. I didn't get to fix it immediately because I let it sit overnight as I went to sleep.
 
Need to order another keyboard and see if that works. Sounds like you have some stuck keys, possibly damage to the touchpad as well, could have seeped through to the motherboard and something there is damaged.
