All is back the way it was. An expensive cup of coffee.

Just for fun, you could try soaking the broken keyboard in clean water overnight, then letting it dry completely for several days. It may well work, as there's a good chance that your broken row just has some dried coffee gunk shorting out a couple circuits.
