    Sad #$%&*! I spilled coffee on my laptop!

    Now the six, "m", and comma keys don't work and the only way I can make them is copying and pasting from Word. I don't think I sent in the warranty (it was a gift 1 1/2 yrs ago). Do I learn not to use the number six or letter m or commas in the future or is there a way to fix this?

    This sucks!

    How long ago did you spill the coffee? Like, is it dry yet?

    I don't know what to say...except that sucks!

    I've got a desktop and I ruined three keyboards from spilling drinks on them. That's just a keyboard though, so easy to replace. I always tried to fix them but I couldn't.

    Now I have a keyboard condom (iskin) on it.

    there is an on-screen keyboard.

    if you're operating XP, go to the control panel, accessibility options, and then there is an option for an on-screen keyboard.



    try taking it to a computer/notebook shop, they might be able to fix it.

    Smartcookie: If you can get me the laptop make and model, I can search through my graveyard and or distros for a replacement, get it to the magical Casual Observer so he can install it perhaps. It'll be my gift if I can find a suitable replacement.

    Until you get it fixed, you could just plug a regular keyboard into the USB drive... I think they have keyboards that roll up now, right?

    Oh man, that sucks. My hubby spilled beer on his and had the same thing happen. He just plugged a seperate keyboard into the laptop and all is good.

    Take it to a repair shop and they will take it apart and clean it, but you have to do it soon, otherwise the drink can eay threw the wires nd really f you over.

    Woah! That's neat! I never realized I had that too! Now I know what to do if I destroy my keyboard. LOL

    I dumped a latte into my laptop (took a swing at the cat on the desk and missed), and had to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse.
