MacBook Pro 2018 / A1989 power button (touch ID) not working
2 days ago, I had a full glass of tap water spill onto keyboard, I removed motherboard instantly and used IPA (%100) with a brush clean it thoroughly. I also splashed IPA onto the keyboard and lightly scrubbed the keys and touch board thoroughly to force IPA through the keys. I repeated this a few times. letting it dry for 8 hrs.
After re-installing, keyboard keys are not responding as before and sometimes doubling up. Should I remove keyboard and IPA clean all soldered components immediately?
I followed the online Electronics repair school. this guy is the best and learn’t a lot from him. he uses zippo petrol to clean parts. I wonder is that better to use instead of IPA. He also applies liquid flux after scrubbing with petrol and heats the board and scrubs again. I wonder should I do that.

I would hold off going to the level this YouTuber has gone here, as unlike that system you spilled water not a soda and you stated you reacted as soon as it happened.
What he is facing is the damage from the acids and sugars in the drink besides the water. Here the water has already evaporated mostly, so a film of junk has been left on the parts and time has past allowing it to corrode things. A very different repair here.
