My brother spilled beer on his laptop last night and now the shift, even though the keys feel normal, is permanently on. The arrow keys also do not work. Obviously this wouldn't be covered by the service plan he has on it or the manufacturer's warranty since it was liquid being spilled. Does anybody know how to clean the keyboard? He said he has a shitload of papers due in the next couple of weeks, so he needs to get it fixed.

QUOTE (Jessica @ Apr 18 2006, 06:14 PM) take off those keys, buy a keyboard to hook up to the laptop, and type with that. Thats the easiest way. do NOT do that with a laptop keyboard. they aren't the same as desktop keyboards. most laptop keys on any recent model laptop are liable to break (well, actually the see-saw like depression device underneath them) if you do that. It's not impossible, but it would be easier to use a warranty to ship it back for them to replace the keyboard, or ship it back and pay the $35-or-so to replace it if it's out of warranty. I suppose you could go ahead and try that way, however, if you plan on sending it back in case it doesn't work. Might want to verify your warranty info first though. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.
