you can use this to test and see if your switch is broken
if it is you could try cleaning the pcb or replacing the faulty switch(es)
otherwise id check /r/mechmarket or amazon third party retailers for a new board

Coke is conductive.
Clean it properly.

Since you're getting "hj" the key should still be intact. Maybe some coke got inside then you'll probably have to replace that key.
Worst case you fried a diode as well.

So the issue fixed itself over night, but a few keys get stuck when pressed down. Will applying rubbing alcohol on the switches fix this?

I once cleaned a keyboard in the dishwasher..

popped it in with no soap and let it dry 2 weeks under a fan, worked good as new.

probably wouldn't recommend unless you've got a backup lol

I spilled a beer all over my keyboard and it no longer worked forever does that make me a clumsy drunk lad?

This is also how I ended up using my granddad's 1986 IBM lol
