Where in the World is Bob Saget?

It wasn't that much. I just dropped the bottle and picked it up quickly.

It should be OK then, but it might take a while to dry.

I hope so. The screen worked at first while i dried off what I could, but then it turned off. I'm planning on letting it dry out overnight and trying it in the morning.

I went to turn on my laptop and the screen was working, it was just very dim. It looked like a start up window had popped up. I couldn't read anything though. It was barely noticable. I'm letting it sit a while more to see if it can dry out a bit more.

 

[Nemo14]

Good luck - I've been watching for you.

 

[PUSH]

Thanks. It isn't like it's a brand new expensive one, but I still don't want to fork over the cash for a new one, or even a repair.

 

[Nemo14]

Do you need it for school?

 

[PUSH]

Not until the fall when I'm taking classes again.

It should be dry by then

try the rice trick

Did the water get into the keyboard of the laptop?

try the ice trick

Just be careful though...

Did the water get into the keyboard of the laptop?

Yes. And then it ran down into the laptop some more I'm assuming.

Yes. And then it ran down into the laptop some more I'm assuming.

You might want to pop the keyboard out of the laptop to make sure that any stray liquid can evaporate.

BTW...I deal with electronics on a daily basis.

So I took the keyboard off, and it's going to sit there over night. But after looking on the internet more, it's leading me to believe the LCD inverter got damaged. I read that someone had my same exact problem and that's what it was.

Oh gosh. I did that to my iTouch about a year ago but managed to dry it out after leaving it in a bag of rice for 3 days. It was a year ago and the only problem is the screen isn't as bright as it used to be. Still works! But I also didn't touch it for three days and then plugged it into my computer and the computer detected it, so I did a reset and it fixed it. Hope all goes well with your laptop!

I'm losing hope for my laptop, but all the problems that I've read about are relatively cheap fixes. Each part seems to be around $20. Tomorrow I'm gonna try and hook an external monitor up to it and see if that works. I want to get a couple songs on my iPod from iTunes before the trip yet.

Yeah...I researched it a bit also and that does seem to be your next step.

 

[Nemo14]

Sorry this happened so close to your vacation time. Hopefully it will be a quick fix at least.

I'm using my laptop today, but I hooked it up to my TV, and it works fine. The laptop screen itself is still very dim, but everything else seems to work completely fine. I'll probably just use it like this for now and deal with it after the trip. I'm not worrying about it too much!

So you didn't lose any files or anything....
