[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 626833, member: 32771"] Hi, didn't go very well. I ended up paying 150 EUR (about 240 USD) for repair. In fact, the keyboard was replaced. Now, everything's as good as new (well, technically it *is* new). So, that taught me a lesson. Unfortunately, I'm back to drinking right in front of the laptop after just a few weeks of successful abstinence. I can't really imagine working a whole day on it and not drinking (or, standing up and walking away every time I want a drink). The next time something similar happens (not that I plan it), this is what I'm going to do: I'll immediately shut down the notebook, unplug it from the power, remove the battery and rinse the keyboard part carefully with clean water (using a wash bottle for dosing). Obviously, I can't advise anyone else doing this (so [I]try at your own risk[/I]) but I believe the keyboard part is really rather waterproof. After that, I'll let it dry and replug the power.
