Spilled water on laptop and it will not work - Can I fix?

Wow... a lot of people spill fluids on their laptops..

The most I've ever done is knock over a can of Coca Cola and spill it over the front of Server 2, about 8 inches to the left of my laptop...

Hello! Hope someone is still here to help me with my issue

I was gone for the weekend at a friend's leaving my laptop at home for my little brother to play on (HUGE MISTAKE) When i got home he doesn't tell me right away until I actually ask him, "WHATS WRONG WITH MY LAPTOP?!" Then he claims to have spilled some water on the keyboard, turned it off and left it there for 2 days. In anger I slapped him silly and tied him up, now hes in my closet and will remain there for a few weeks. Anyways the laptop turns on fine, made a few funny beeps at start up and everything seems to be in working order, except for the Keyboard. 95% of the keys work fine, but the huge issue is that when I press the 5% that don't work, they have some weird shortcuts on them, like "F" would open up FIND option, W would minimize windows, and so on. I really don't want to pay to fix such a STUPID mistake by a younger brother, what options do I have here? Please help. Thank you~

Sounds to me like your Alt key is activated. Or stuck in the "on" position if you will.

so how do I go about fixing this? Any Suggestions?

Is there in any way you can look at the underside (like below the actual knob switches, not jjust the key caps itself) of your keyboard, probably some leftover water or something else that shorts the key.

Hi. Ok my Dell Inspiron got soaked in the rain...i think. Well it was by my open window (i know, stupid thing to do leaving it there) and when the rain came pouring down, a good bit of it got on the laptop. So i get home, freak out, clean it with a dry cloth, shake it, take the battery out and clean that and then turn it on, hoping its working. (From what i've read, i shouldn't have done that). Well it worked but the screen was tinted red and so all the colors where off. That was about a week ago. I let it dry but i tried it two days ago and the red tint is still there and now its not detecting any internet connection even though there are like six networks available.
I don't know what to do and am not up to opening it up so i'm thinking i might send it to Dell to get it fixed. I'd actually like to know if anyone knows how much that would cost and what exactly is wrong. I know its water damage but what in particular did the water damage?

I spilled some sparkling water on my dell laptop, and i turned the power off after a minute and let it dry for an hour then i dried with a hair dryer for 10 seconds then let it dry for 5 min then hairdryer for another 10 seconds. now when i press the power button the small light powers up but the lights at the middle (caps lock and number lock) are really dim and the screen does not power up. What should i do

I spilled water on my keyboard and it stopped working so I threw it against the wall (laptop attached) now it works fine. p.s. people it is a horrible idea to revive dead post.

How hard did you throw it into the wall?
I have the same problem, me friend spilt water in his Macbook and gave it to me in exchange for fixing his desktop.

why do people hate when old post are revived, if you have the same issue, what is the harm in using an old thread, instead of starting a new?
I am really asking.
I always read old post when looking for help, before posting a question. and since i am already at the old post figure it can't hurt to use it.
But it seems to piss off some people, why? If legit, I'll stop using old post.

BTW i really do have dead Macbook, i was going to sell it for the screen, since my guess is the the power supply is gone and the motherboard is probably gone too.
