Yesturday I spilt a whole glass of water on my laptop

nice....i guess you didn't use the microwave then?

I love these little experiments, water & electronic's I'm glad it worked out for you David The keys won't stick with water but beer will make them stick enjoy

yeah, if it didn't that would have been some really expensive water

Heh,

Nah i didnt choose to use the microwave lol!
I dont even like microwaves or have one , neither my mum dont like the food or our kitchens full of other things he he,

But thanks everyone for helping

David.

i've only ever spilt milk on a keyboard, lol never worked again, oops

I am really happy for you !!
its probably sucks that you laptop is round . the thing that you paid great deal of money for it!!

well look on the bright side ! (very little bright side but still bright )
know you know how to fix a laptop that a some water spilled on it !
you sew what is inside the laptop and you will be careful for the next time!!



thanks for your time !

I wouldn't be sure you're out of the woods yet.

I've known many people who had their cell phone dunked into water. After it dried out, the phone worked just fine, no trouble. Then, one to two weeks later, it gets buggy. After that, it dies.

I hope you don't experience something similar, but I'd say while it's working you should back up everything.

It seems that Ozzu members are prone to either spilling water, milk or beer on their keyboards/laptops. I have even spilled milk on my keyboard once (disgusting). I took the entire keyboard apart and washed it out good and put it back together. It was like new again

Anyway you might check out all the posts from members who have done something similiar. Seems like many have good outcomes once they try to fix it (if you ever have this problem, do at our own risk):

I imagine what probably happens is that if there is some remaining water left on the circuitry, it conducts electricty from one component to another and effectively frying it out.

T, G, B keys will not work following have been splashed with ice tea. Is there anyway I can fix this at home w/o taking it into a computer repair shop? If so please give me detailed instructions designed for those of us w/o an MIS degreee. I have a Toshiba laptop. Thanks!
