So, the laptop seems more or less fine...a little stinky, and some of the keys were a bit sluggish 'til I exercised them. I wonder if any local PC place does laptop cleaning. Nick mentions "you should be able to clean your keyboard by washing thoroughly with de-ionised water then letting it dry completely". It sounds like some people even dunk components and then let them dry, which would be a lot easier than prying stuff apart. I'm not sure how well it would get at the beer residue however.
