So did I, but I've been dealing with this possessed laptop for a month now. Paul, disconnect the keyboard and spray contact cleaner or alcohol all down between the keys. (saturate it) Pick it up and shake it around, then turn it upside down and shake out the excess. Let it dry for a hours and plug it back into the computer. That might fix it.

piece of advice, dont eat or drink near a computer or computer hardware.

**Mr. Kilt** · 22nd December 07, 08:04 PM

I wouldn't type much more with that one. Your spell checker will probably self-destruct!! LOL

**PaulX608** · 22nd December 07, 08:08 PM

Actually, it seems to be getting better now. Maybe I can avoid buying one for a little while.

**Livingston** · 22nd December 07, 08:52 PM

If you disconnect it, pull all the keys off and dry it out you might just resurrect it for a while.

Of course, if you want to keep typing Scots you'll just have to keep spilling something on it.

**PaulX608** · 22nd December 07, 09:05 PM

I took it apart right after it happened, the spill was on the number pad on the right, but went everywhere inside. Still have a few dead keys. This keyboard has a powered USB hub in it too, so I wanted to get the bulk of the liquid out as soon as I could. We'll see how it does over the next few days. I spilled a bowl of chili on my last keyboard.
