Macbook pro key lost sensitivity

My friend spilled a sugary drink on part of my keyboard, and now my touch pad is a bit weird but more annoyingly, the space bar is substantially post it's sensitivity. It's because the key is a little sticky and takes more pressure to push down the button on the inside. It's at the point where almost every sentence there will be a missed space and i'll have to fix it.
I also sent it in for a repair at an apple reseller (cost $150!!!), but they didn't quite fix it fully. I'm wondering what I should do?
Fully replace the keyboard? anyone know how much that will cost me?
Thanks

There is a certain slight amount of flexibilty with the keyboard keys, however if you feel the keys are loose, or too loose this is something you would want an apple store Genius to address. I wouldn't try to do anything wiht the keyboard myself.

MacBook Pro keys not working.

Help! My MacBook Pro keys Q-O aren't not working. I've tried doing a Pram restart, but it won't work as keys P & R aren't working, and I can't login as my password contains broken keys. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Try a SMC reset;
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Check these as well
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
OS X Mountain Lion: If keys on your keyboard don’t work disregard the OS X in the title
If no joy, you can take it to an Apple Store Genius Bar for a FREE diagnosis, make a appointment first to save yourself some time.

My Macbook Pro i7 lost wifi connection

Hi, my Macbook Pro i7 lost wifi connection. I don't know why, but my connection is lost every time. I've other PC, tablets etc. (Windows, iPhone, iPad) and all is ok. Only Macbook Pro i7 have this problem. Some help?

Well if then, if it is two weeks old, I suggest a trip to the Genius Bar at your Apple Store... it may well be a warranty issue.
I am sorry I was not able to be any help at all besides WANTING to!
Were you running your other wireless machines at the SAME time? And you had nobody in the house using mixers (for drinks or cake and cookie batter) or hair dryers? Clothes dryers....?
While thinking of Brasil and weather- I saw on our public TV station a few months ago- a story about a fishing boat, I think south of Rio de Janeiro, who encountered a hurricane- and only one fellow lived. Ouch!
Report back if you can save the link to the page, or the emails of the answers, to tell what the Apple store said...

My Macbook Pro 13" lost Internet connection last night. Why?

My Macbook Pro 13" lost Internet connection last night. It's still out today, but my mother's Windows machine still gets it just fine. What happened to my Mac? The folks at Comcast told me it's a problem for Apple to fix. I'm hoping someone here can give me some insight.

see if there is anything for you.

This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
Most commonly used backup methods
Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down
Why is my computer slow?

My MacBook Pro has lost it's connection to my home wifi

My MacBook Pro has lost it's connection to my home wifi. I made no changes to my Mac or router it just would not pick up the signal when I turned it on one day. Wifi works fine for other laptops and iPhone, and laptop is picking up other wifi signals. I have tried suggestions here such as resetting PRAM etc but can't seem to find posts with same problem

No. I see other networks but not mine. And when I try to type it in manually it says 'connection timed out'

MacBook Pro Key Board

My MacBook Pro is only a couple of weeks old and I feel that the keys are not as snug when typing anymore. They are sensitive?

Upgraded macbook pros key board lights wont work after 10.7 upgrade

I have a macBook Pro model A1260. The Hard drive was replaced along with a super drive. This is a new experience but have finally gotten it up and running with Mountain lion. After a restart the keyboard lights stopped working. They had been functioning after the hard drive install but sadly remain dark after the new X upgrade. Hitting the illumination key for the keys shows a circle with a line through it on the screen. The keys still function. Did I fry something? Joeza

Macbook Pro Key issue

I have a 13 inches macbook pro which is still under warranty.
Unfortunately one of the keys came out and when i took it to the service centre i got a reply that the outer part of the key is damaged and cannot be replaced.
I was told that it's a "physical damage" and will not be covered warranty.
The solution, according to the service center, is to get the entire key board replaced...
I am disappointed and shocked to know that apple does not provide us with spare key caps.
Just to point out, the inside hinges are undamaged so effectively its the key cap that needs replacement.
If i have to shell out a handsome amount of money just to get a minor thing fixed then i am better off without a mac....
Really disappointed

Macbook Pro Key repeat problem

I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now but it's recently started to have keyboard repeat issues. The keys are not physically stuck but behave like they are, in a totally random manner - including the delete key and the space bar. Messages will end up lookinggggggg a bittttttt like thissssssssssssss. Very annoying.
This tends to be accompanied by a sluggish trackpad too. Then after a while - it behaves normally again.
I have nothing else attached - anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I've been having an occasional key repeat problem for a while, I'd say for a year. I'll be typing, and then I'll stop, and the last key I pressed starts repeating and keeps going until I press another key. I've also seen it miss characters sometimes. This happens more often than a key repeating by itself. I'll be sure I pressed a key, but I get "wrds like ths." Maybe I'm just not pressing a key "deep" enough. Sometimes I've tried typing a bit slower and that seems to help.
I regret not bringing my laptop in for someone to look at earlier, but I've been very busy for the last couple years. The problem hasn't occurred often enough to make it a problem that I felt compelled to solve right away. It just feels like an annoyance, like, "Come on. This shouldn't have made it off the line like this!" I don't want to start a "war", but I had a Windows laptop before my Mac and I never had these problems with the keyboard. There are other attributes I like about my Mac, so it's annoying but not a big deal for me.
I usually run VMWare Fusion 2.0, and I've suspected that it's a culprit. The problem doesn't just occur on web pages, though that's where I usually notice it when it happens. I've seen it in TextEdit as well. What I notice is it happens when I've got something else running in the background taking up CPU time. Maybe the computer is swapping to/from disk. Sometimes I've seen it happen on a web page with some slow Javascript on it, again taking up CPU time. It seems to me it's a matter of the hardware or software missing the signal from the keyboard. Perhaps it's related to the "keyboard sleep" problem, which I've also seen, where the keyboard and trackpad just go dead. In this case I put the computer to sleep for a bit and then wake it back up. That brings both back for a bit, but it usually reoccurs, in which case I reboot it.
I've been hoping that Apple would come out with a patch for the key repeat problem. So far I haven't seen it. Would an upgrade to Snow Leopard fix it?
