Apple :: Macbook - Spilled Of Milk-n-tea
Jan 5, 2009couple of days ago i spilled a whole cup of milk-n-tea on my laptop (spanking new macbook, 2.4Ghz, 4 gb ram) and the whole liquid went inside the macbook. It was running at the time. so i quickly turned it off, gave it a good shake for five seconds, and had to leave it and run for work. i cam back, fired it up, and its working alright! thats good, in fact i'm using it right now. but... they keyboard is no good. it feels like having some bubble gum under some of the keys. it is really annoying and i can say its unusable. if i send it to apple, will they fix it under warranty ( for free)? if i have computer accidental damage that covers this kind of accident, do i send my computer for fixing then claim the insurance? or do i report it and they handle it?

Dell :: Spilled Water On My E1705- Keyboard
Sep 14, 2007I accidentally spilled some water on my laptop this evening. i dried everything out and everything seems to be working fine..except for that my left "Ctrl" key is acting really weird. Something is making it seem like it's being constantly held down (although it physically isn't). The only way I can disable this is through the On-Screen Keyboard in Windows XP. But after hitting the particular Ctrl key, it goes back to being held down again. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or is this something that wouldn't cost too much to repair?

Nov 16, 2009I couldn't remove the keyboard so I turned it upside down and put aside. So from my search in Google I found that I must leave it like that about few days untill everything is completely dry.
I also panicked a bit and it took me about a minute to remove the charger and about few minutes to remove the battery.
My questions are:
1.The laptop turned off - does it mean that it was short circuit or it could be some defence mechanism .....
HP/Compaq :: DV6000- Spilled Only A Small Amount Of Tea On The Keyboard
Jul 23, 2009My son spilled only a small amount of tea on the keyboard. knowing what could come out of it, I turned it off right away. After cleaning and drying for a few hours, i turned it on, and managed to a couple of times. The next day I tried to turn it on again, and as it was displaying Bios info, I saw one of the flat cables under the keyboard melt slightly. I turned it of right away. This cable is one of the two coming out of the panel over the keyboard, to be exact the left one, from the on/off button to the motherboard.
Bought the cable online, and still does not work. I CAN hear the computer turn on, the lights are all as usual, and boot and even go into windows, but I cant see anything on the screen. I have seen a really really dark and dim shadow of the boot, even the windows logo, but its almost invisible.

Jan 13, 2010the glass of wine poured onto my laptop, right where the plug inserts into the laptop. I heard a crisp snapping "zzz" sound, and all went blank.
I quickly opened up the laptop, and dabbed as much wine up as possible. Unfortunately, I saw the liquid swish around the CPU / Fan and about the motherboard. After drying out the motherboard as much as possible, I plugged it back in, and hit the power button.
At first, the laptop turned on! (thank god) Then the green power light on the hinge started to blink, and the laptop hibernated, and turned on again... repeatedly. I turned the computer off... and that was its last breath of life (i hate you god).
Since then, I have not been able to turn it on. Does this spell the end? Is this a massive short in the motherboard? Is it even worth repairing? I called Sony and 'Water damage' repair costs at the minimum, $700.
Sony :: Spilled Water On My Vaio... Is It Really Dead
Apr 8, 2010night before last a cup of water spilled over my keyboard. I quickly picked laptop up, dried it upside down then left it running. About an hour later I went to type something in and realised the keyboard wasnt working. I turned it off and took the battery and power supply off.
The next day I turned it back on and it was coming on but the keyboard still not working (if you press one key then another key would be pressed and 6 and w were pressed the whole time) so then we lifted the keyboard up and dried the area underneath with a hairdryer- only saw a few drops of water. Then tried turning it bakc on and it would come on but the keyboard still not working.
Then few hours later I tried turning it on again, and now, although the green light comes on and it sounds like it's gonna start, the screen is completely black.

Except... Half the keyboard is now sticking, Im wondering if the whole keyboard will pop off in one piece, or if the indivizual keys pop off easily enough.

Dec 15, 2008Wouldn't you know it, I have been clumsy as can be today; I spilled three drinks. The first two were no real big deal, but the last one was right on the top of my 1420! Before I could do anything, it shut down and I don't know if it was in my mind or what, but I thought I could hear faint sizzling. Now I'm waiting for it to dry only so I can confirm I am hosed. Looks like I am stuck with a minimum of $200 for a new motherboard provided I haven't fried anything else. What a crappy end to a day...
I'm switching to sippy cups!
Dell :: I Spilled Isopropyl On My Motherboard
Nov 17, 2007So I was appying AS5 onto my processor and trying to clean things up and get a good application (Right now i'm overclocked to 2.8 and it says I'm 37 C) So I'm glad that it worked out.
But anyways I accidently knocked over my bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol 91% onto my motherboard and the left hand corner of it got about 3-4 tablespoons worth. and I think it might have gotten into the socket board. I was worried as I should be. But cloth dryed all of it and then put it back together and it wouldn't boot up. Just the Green Light Flash.
So I then re-opened it and let it air dry for a few mins and tried my best to clean out the entire motherboard and then I booted it up again, and it worked.
So I suppose I was very lucky, but I'm curious as to how close to disaster was I? and should I be using 100% Isopropyl?
The m1710 is now running great, and with this CPU upgrade I think I'm going to keep my M1710 for a little longer, I really like it.
Dell :: Spilled Beer On My XPS M1730
Dec 7, 2009I threw up on my XPS M1730. When I jumped up to grab a towell, I spilled almost half of a 12 oz bottle of Guinness Extra Stout into the computer. I called Dell, and they told me I would have to send it to the depot for repairs. I got the box and sent it in today. I was just wondering how long it usually takes for them to fix and return the computer to me.

HP/Compaq :: Spilled Iced Tea In 8510p
Jun 9, 2009around a month ago i spilled some iced tea in my laptop. first i thought it was gone, but then i dried it out and it mostly works. i turned it on within the 24 hour period, but it mostly works.
it boots up and i can install the OS. problem is that whenever i move the touchpad it's like the left mouse button is always clicked and it's a constant select on everything i scroll over. i tried replacing the touchpad and using only a USB mouse but it doesn't work.
new touchpad does the same thing and USB mouse won't work in the OS. it will work during installing the OS, but once in the OS it stops working.
Dell :: Spilled Soda On My Laptop, Any Hope?
Apr 21, 2009I knocked some soda onto my computer while doing homework, it was on the top right hand corner of the keyboard. Its an e1505 from a litte over 2&1/2 years ago (warranty is out).
I let it dry under a fan for an hour, then left it another hour. It worked fine, but 1 speaker didn't work.
I turned it off, but I tried to turn it back on to print something about an hour later and it wouldn't turn on. It said "no bootable device". It would run a dell diagnostic though

View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: Spilled Soft Drink Onto My 9400
Mar 31, 2008Late last year, I spilled a substantial amount of soft drink onto my 9400.
It was under completecare, so the Dell tech came round and replaced the motherboard, keyboard and touchpad...he just cleaned everything else with isopropyl or something.
That was about a week before my warranty ran out....but the laptop was working fine, so I had no problem.
Now, a few months later, I am getting a lot of blue screens and errors all related to my video card.
I decided to open her up, clean the heatsink and fans and replace the AS5 on the CPU & GPU.
When I took the heatsink off the GPU (7900GS) I noticed a LOT of corrosion on several of the components on the GPU...obviously from the soft drink.
Now I know my warranty is out, but should my GPU have been replaced at the time, considering it was under complete care?
Should I be able to get it replaced by Dell now? I have emailed them, expaining the situation, to see what they can do, if anything.
Apple :: Spilled Coke On Unibody MBP - Self-clean
May 10, 2010So a friend of mine spilled coke on the left side of my unibody mbp with built-in battery. It still works now after 4 days but the q,w,a,shift, capslock, tab,`,1,2,3,4,esc, and all f-keys are very sticky. The battery indicator button also doesn't work. Should I fork over the $1300 to get my entire laptop fixed by apple for $1300 (and have my applecare warranty back in effect) or try to clean it myself with distilled water and a toothbrush? This computer is 11 months old.

Oct 31, 2009It was placed vertically in a bag and my grandma spilled water from a flower vase on my laptop. Good thing it wasn't turned on but The ports were wet and I wiped them with tissue.
I placed the laptop upside down in front of a fan to hopefully let all the water inside evaporate. I also dismantled the battery.
Sony :: How Is The SR Keyboard
Nov 20, 2009I think I'm going to be buying the Sony SR 590. One thing about it that slightly upsets me is that it has no separate keyboard keys for Home, End, Page Up/Down. I'm a student and do a lot of writing, and I always use the Home/End buttons, as they're very convenient. I see that on the SR, I would have to use theim with the function key and the arrows. I've never done that before but I guess I'll get used to it. I was wondering if anybody can tell me if this is going to be uncomfortable or if its all in my head.

Sony :: Where Can I Buy A Vaio JS Keyboard?
Jan 30, 2009I'm using a Vaio Z, which is docked when at my desk into a 24" monitor and separate keyboard and mouse.
Which is great, but I miss the Z's keyboard, which is just fantastic.
Then I saw the Vaio JS in a store, and it has a wonderful scrabble style keyboard, similar to the Z.
Just a simple USB keybaord, but very nice indeed, even has an S1 button.

Sony :: Keyboard Protector For VPC-Z
May 4, 2010where I can find a "TPU" keyboard protector for the Sony Vaio VPC-Z (EU model?). The only one I can find is on eBay but it's only for US models (different enter button) so won't fit... I know this keyboard is really going to become shiny quick because it really holds onto oil badly. It's a lovely keyboard to use, but it really picks up oil a lot more than my older Z21.
