carefully remove keytops, pray that none of the pepsi has intruded within
the membrane, take a Q-Tip (c) and, using a solution of
H2O(75%)/Joy(c)(5%)/Denatured Alcohol(20%) [proportions need not be exact],
dip the Q-Tip(c) into the cleaning mixture, squeeze off excess fluid and
use to swab up the mess.. :-)
you are lucky this cooling elixer did not make it onto the system board or
other electronic areas..
i used to use cola drinks (not (c)) to clean off the huge copper battery
terminals on my boat before i switched to sealed gel cell batteries..
i suggest "doing" a few keys at a time.. :-)
