Is Thinkpad x60 keyboard dead?

[Stevesoura]

Accidentally spill some water on the x60 keyboard. The laptop was not effected. The keyboard was acting weird with random typing so I removed it to dry. When I plugged the keyboard back in, the laptop powered up for two seconds, beeped twice and turned off.

The only way I can turn it on is slightly press the harness to the socket and remove quickly. Hope that's not confusing. The laptop boots up fine without the keyboard.

How long did you let the keyboard to dry?
