    but mouse and power button works. system works.


    Alienware 15 r2

    butttons are working now.

    Suddenly touchpad seems dead.

    May or may not have something to do with liquid wax (pledge wipe and shine) spilling on my keyboards.

    It seems like it's dying, I'd try a replacement. After the spillage, did you open it and clean all connections?
