Spilled Milk Under Keys

Hello, a few weeks ago I spilled a small glass of milk on my DGX-620 keyboard. Maybe 4-5 oz. I wiped as much as I could up, and then tried to take a wet rag and clean it even more thoroughly. I also took a shop vac and tried to vacuum out as much liquid as I could, but when I checked the canister afterwards, I didn't find any liquid in the vacuum. Anyway, then I put a fan on the keyboard to try to dry it out. It's now a few weeks later and it smells like sour milk. :-( No problems with the keys not playing or anything, so I assume that the milk just puddled inside the keyboard and is just dried up. To remove the smell, I would like to remove the keyboard from the base and then turn it upside down and try to remove the bottom of the keyboard and see if I can do a more thorough cleaning underneath the keys themselves. Is this a bad idea? Any tips? Has anyone done this and do they know which screws I need to unscrew on the bottom? (There seem to be a lot of screws.)

BTW, YES, I did learn my lesson and will NEVER have beverages near the keyboard again! AAHHH!

Thanks for any suggestions/advice/information anyone might have.
