    Haha, I spilled cola on the corner of my laptop!

    As soon as it happened I pulled out its plug, and took its battery out as fast as I possibly could.

    It still runs fine, but even after cleaning all the buttons that got wet, since they are super complicated laptop keys and not normal keyboard keys, many of them are still sticky. I have to hit them a few times for them to work.

    And my built in scroller/mousepad thingies buttons arent working right either. At least I have an external mouse to use.

    Im gonna call up Future Shop(It has a 3 year warrenty with them) and see if they can give it a good cleaning, cause I dont wanna break something and not be able to replace it. Id rather have some guy working on it there break it and replace it for free.

    Too bad liquid spills arent covered by my warrenty, so itll probably cost me some moolah to get it done.

    Thank god the screen still works, otherwise Id only be able to salvage the internal stuff, and have to go buy a new laptop.

    Damn, that sucks. Hope you get it fixed well and for a decent price.

      I completely destroyed my last laptop. It was an IBM ThinkPad and I was trying to see how to install RAM into it. I went and started unscrewing screws like I knew what I was doing. The one for the convenient little panel for RAM installation was stuck so I tried opening up the whole thing. Long story short, I lost some screws and dropped it a few times, now the screen is only connected to the keyboard part by a little band, the colors don't show right, and the pointer doesn't work.

        Yeah, laptop architecture is a bit more tricky than desktop PC architecture. This little bit of advice came too late, though, it would seem.

            I have an ant in my monitor.
