[MODERATOR EDIT:] Spam. However, Gaz graciously offered some helpful advice anyways, so we'll leave the original question here.
This PC had water spilled on it a couple of weeks ago and is completely dry now. Everything works except for the keyboard. Any ideas?

No experience with this model, but keyboards tend to have membranes built in to separate the keys and contacts and although it's dry on the outside it may still be too damp to work inside. A quick search for "HP G62 keyboard wet" got a lot of hits including one that says these keyboards are so super cheap to replace via eBay it's not worth fixing an old one, and another that suggests soaking the keyboard in isopropyl alchohol (I'd imagine there would be some safety concerns with that) to replace the water, then drying it out (again) and retrying..
