[QUOTE="fallenwarrior89, post: 1467529, member: 282020"] Well, I may just have a new 'liquid' to add to the list for you guys. I spilled spaghetti sauce on my keyboard. I was actually hoping, since there wasn't a lot, that it wouldn't hurt it, but it did. First my arrow keys had issues, then the enter key went berserk. After a while, the shift key wouldn't capitalize any of the letters, so I decided to try shutting down and cleaning off the keyboard. Sadly it seems it's gotten so bad that it affected my power button and now the computer won't turn on. It still charges, funny enough, but it just doesn't turn on at all. I'm pretty much taking the advice I got from this thread, so I'll just wait for a while and let it sit upside down and hope that maybe it'll turn back on after a while. If I need a new one, it's not a big deal though. I've had that computer since, I believe, '08 and firefox won't let me update on it anymore. (They pretty much said I'm just better off getting a new one.) I do hope I can get a lot of my files off of it though. I have a lot of works I've done in the past and it would be a shame to lose the original documents. [/QUOTE]
