Hi, i had an issue with my keyboard and got myself a replacement which i have installed. But its not working. Some of the keys seems to work but showing up with a different letters. I first thought it was the cables so i had them changed but the problem is not going away. Any idea whats wrong with it?

It may be an easy one, hopefully. If you’re using old greek KB settings you should probably just correct that into british english from SystemPreferences/Keyboard/InputSources. Then, with the two in sync things should get to normal WYSIWYG and you’ll have to slightly readapt your typing.

if you have a spare keyboard lying around, a USB one, plug it in and see if it works. if it works fine then it’s probably just your replacement keyboard. if it doesn’t then it’s probably an issue with software on the device itself. that’s a fairly universal way to tell if a keyboard on laptop is bad. that said it does just sound like a bad keyboard replacement since the old one was working until alcohol got on it. you could also try the original after letting it dry for a few days as if you were using 99% isopropyl alcohol it would probably just need dried out first.
