RE: keyboard problems
On most laptops, to remove the keyboard you have to prise up the plastic strip along the top to reveal the fixing screws.Sometimes there is a screw from the bottom of the case as well, look for a screw with a K in a circle by it.
Once you have removed the screws, lift it carefully, you will need to detach the cable as well. You may be able to clean it up, it depends where the liquid went as some parts are sealed.

RE: keyboard problems
Allan D is right about location but if you feel keyboard still not coming out, remove HD and RAM cover and check if any screw need to be taken off (some makes and models do).
