Please help - Fujitsu Keyboard Malfunction?

Question

My keyboard and touchpad aren't working (the backspace,'0' doesn't work and most of the letters don't work). Also, it won't let me sign into my Microsoft account, saying "You can't sign into your PC at the moment. Go to account.live to fix the problem, or try the last password you used on this PC."
I went to account.live using another computer and submitted a 'New Account Verification Form' which was refused twice. 
I really don't know what to do - I can't get into my laptop. 
I spilled a bit of water on it a while ago which might be the cause, but it wasn't that much and I can't be too sure...
Any help or advice would be much appreciated, please!!!!!!!!! Thank you in advance :)

A week ago I had a problem with my Fujitsu Lifebook 2210 not booting up. It
turned out that the 512MB add-on memory module was bad. A couple of days
ago I replaced the memory with a module that I bought from Crucial.

The memory itself was installed with no problem, but while installing the
memory -- which sits underneath the keyboard -- I pulled the keyboard's
ribbon cable out of its connection on the motherboard. It looks like it
just slips into a connection on the motherboard, but when I try to slip it
in and boot up, only a few of the keys work.

I can use the notebook computer with an external keyboard, but I would like
to have the keyboard work, because the external keyboard isn't any help in
making changes in the BIOS (if necessary).

My one-year warranty has expired, and Fujitsu says I will have to pay for
the repair -- which they say costs $220 for a keyboard replacement to $500+
for replacing the motherboard.

Does anyone have another, less costly solution? Can anyone tell me how the
keyboard ribbon cable attaches to the motherboard?
