MacBookPro Keyboard Backlight "Patchy Looking"

I know this seems like another "poured liquid on my Mac" type post, but everything works fine, its just some of the keyboard backlight has gone a bit dim (I can still adjust brightness fine). Any ideas on what that is? Any way of getting in there and cleaning it?

Hi. Okay, so it was like, a dribble of beer, a tiny amount, splashed onto my keyboard (around the YUIOP JKL NM<> section), so I instantly flipped it upside down and dried it.

So the keys work fine, but the backlight seems to be patchy, like, (turned up full), the TYU GH BNM keys are working fully, but the ones on either side (QWER ASDF ZXCV and IOP JKL: NM<>) look a lot duller.

Anyone know what this is? Becuz it seems to be both sides of the keyboard, almost symmetrical, that have gone duller, which makes me think that it's not just simply moisture in there.

Cheers x
