| 778966 | 2009-06-02 00:56:00 | Did you turn it upside down straight away? What is the model no. and brand of the laptop? Service+ is very good, may be a bit expensive though http://www.serviceplus.co.nz/ Blam |

| 778967 | 2009-06-02 00:58:00 | She didn't turn it upside down straight away, unfortunately. And by the time I get to her, it was more than six hours after the spillage has occurred. It's a HP laptop. Does the model matter? Cheers :) |

| 778971 | 2009-06-02 08:21:00 | Hi Jamuz Was the liquid coffee, tea or lolly water? This makes a difference as any sugar residue can create major problems. Here's an old Electronic Tech's tip, though it's sounds weird it actually works. Get a kilogram of white rice. Put your laptop, (leave laptop open) in a large plastic bag and pour rice over the keyboard. Make sure you seal the battery compartment first. Now seal the plastic bag. Leave for a few days. The rice will absorb all the moisture. Keep out of the sun. This tip works best if the liquid was just water but if not give it a go anyway. Vacuum the rice off the keyboard to remove any that's managed to get between the keys. You could do the mouse the same way but I suggest buying a new one. There are no obvious slushing sounds in the laptop and it appears to be dry overall. Unfortunately this doesn't mean squat. Any shorts caused by the liquid will be too small to see or hear. Hope this helps ... BURNZEE |
