Was it the keyboard to a laptop or a PC? If a lap you're screwed. If a PC, they are cheap enough to replace. Or you could just live with it. Did it destroy what letter or character that was the key or keys?
Oh and I'm having a hard time to choose from all other suggestions because it's a brandnew laptop....of course it was really expensive and my bosses bought it for me just 6 weeks ago.... sounds too good but is true ;-/
thanks anyways

If it is a current model from a reputable company then they should be able to supply a new case element. (These parts are usually quite cheap.)

If the "acetone" was nail polish remover, then there may be some residue which using more nail polish remover (or better, pure acetone) and wiping it off immediately. Under this model the spot is made of stuff that was dissolved in the acetone in the nail polish remover.
Or, maybe the acetone dissolved the plastic. This model would suggest that the surface texture of the spot is rough, or otherwise changed.
Or, maybe the acetone dissolved the paint that makes up the letters on the keys. Then more acetone and a wipe up should do the job but may destroy the letter even more.

[b] open a bottle of Acetone anywhere else than in the bathroom.... [b]
Hope your bathroom suite isn't the same polymer as your laptop! 😛

I know it's not the smartest thing to open a bottle of Acetone anywhere else than in the bathroom.... anyway it happened, and now I have this ugly spot on my keyboard! Any ideas how to get rid of it?
