Thanks everyone for your help.
I took it apart and cleaned it. The membrane is broken.
Before cleaning, keys D, B, N and Space didn't work. Now only B and N don't.
Here's some multimeter-less testing:

As B and N don't work, I'm guessing the membrane is broken here:

So I've dropped a little isopropal alcohol down the barrels of the faulty keys. Its a long shot. Hopefully tomorrow they work. If not bolt mod.

I've just reassembled it again and most keys work while a few dont. Could it just be the alignment of the membrane layers and the controller??

Should I take the plates apart?
It worked after the spill untill I took it apart.

I'm hesitant to take the plates apart and have to bolt mod it.

Yeah I didn't seperate the plates.
I used isopropal alcohol to clean what I could and then left the plates under a fan for a night to try and dry it.

Repairing a model M.

Heyo,
So the other day I spilt tea on my model M.
It still worked albiet poorly. Keys directly under the spill only worked sporadically.
I took it apart, cleaned and dried it as best I could, and after putting it back together, to my horror it stopped working.
The lock lights still flash during POST ...
