laptop mojo!
I managed to pour a glass of water all over mine last week, but I managed to get it to power off with no issues right away and dried it out (and let it just sit out and dry for a full week before attempting to power it back on) and it actually seems to be fine now.

definitely. I had basically come to terms with it being dead.

Mojo sent. I'm on the third or fourth keyboard for our desktop in the family room. They are beyond cheap, like ten bucks from Amazon. Daughter keeps spilling shit on them, then the keys stick. Just a PITA to keep ordering them. This time, it was the numbers on the far right. You could still use the numbers at the top but, it's slow that way and wife is getting shit ready to go see tax guy.

when i have issues with desktop keyboards, i just go to walmart and pick one up for less than $10. i wouldln't pay the shipping on one.

Well done, I had to drop my laptop on the floor to get it to do that.

i bumped it with the corner of the tv remote. i guess that was enough impact on a very small area. :(Well done, I had to drop my laptop on the floor to get it to do that.

I'm not the most technical guy. Not sure what will and won't work with our computer. My son put together a Rasberry Pi and the keyboard he got for that worked with our desktop so, I keep ordering the same one.

Pretty much any USB or wireless keyboard will work, except if you haz a mac, then you need the pretty white one. Have you thought about buying in bulk and saving a few $$?

A few more months and she will be gone. Got to keep her two extra years, not being able to afford 4 years for all three kids, first two years they all go to community college and still live at home. Then, new couch and a bunch of new other things we have been waiting to get.

I wish I'd seen this earlier.
My son cracked the upper left screen of his laptop a few months ago and it had a similar chaotic pattern of crap. I found a replacement screen from Amazon for $28 shipped and when it came in, I installed it in about 20 min with standard tools. Works perfectly.
Glad your replacement worked out

but i couldn't replace the laptop for anywhere near that. idn_smilie
