If you miss the full size and action of a real PC keyboard, get one! Just plug it into your laptop, either into the keyboard port or a USB port, whichever is available. You can start using the keyboard the second it’s plugged in.
Note that adding an external keyboard often doesn’t disable the laptop’s internal keyboard. You can use both! But you’re probably not crazy enough to do that.
When you’re done using the full-size keyboard, simply unplug it.

How To Install A New Keyboard In A Laptop Screen
You can buy replacement keyboards for laptops and they just swap like for like in most cases with no configuration (when my wife spilled Baileys in hers, we just took the keyboard off, wiped the inside down, got a new one (due to sticky keys) and it worked fine just like that).
in case the keyboard need some configuration , will i be able to install it without having to type anything , while installting the new keyboard , Or i should have external keyboard while installing the new keyboard?
You won't need to configure this (and I'm not considering any mapping tools with this answer)
last question, after i drop the cofee over the keyboard , i have remove it and i clean it using pure water ? could this have harmed the keyboard ?
Only if you put the thing back in such a way you damanged the circuit or put it back soaking wet!! Microsoft visual studio community edition download.
New Keyboard For Laptop
So, new keyboard is easy but this is assuming of course, that it's the keyboard (the plastic physical thing you press) which is faulty and not the wiring/computer. If all keys are not responding on the laptop, I'd probably bet a new 'internal' keyboard will not help.

I once replaced the keyboard of my Dell Inspiron 1520 (because they delivered it with the wrong layout) and it worked out of the box. The keyboard layout will be as you configured it in your operating system before.
If you have a USB keyboard you can plug it in, in case the new keyboard does not work, but I do not think this is very likely so I would not buy one for this purpose.
I do not think that there is a difference between coffee and water, but since you probably only used some wet cloth and not poured larger amounts of water into your laptop, this should not have been a problem.
If you destroyed e.g. the keyboard controller on your mainboard, the new keyboard will not help at all and you will need an external one. The only way to find out if a new internal keyboard helps, is trying -- either with a new one or with the keyboard of another laptop of the same type.
