[QUOTE="mrtnrsmssn, post: 1514559, member: 301583"] [b]Liquid+Exams=Help[/b] Hi there, a mate of mine accidentally knocked over a bottle of water, which spilled half it's contents over the keyboard of my MacBook. I immidiately turned it off, cleaned up as much as i could and shut the lid. About an hour later, having not read this thread, I turned it on again. None of the buttons on the keyboard worked, so i shut it down again. I took it home and opened it up, dried it as well as i could with a hairdryer (cold air) and closed it up again. As it is now, only two rows of buttons work, and my exam period starts right about now. The computer is about 4 years old, and i was thinking of replacing it soon anyway. So my question is now, do you reckon that these buttons are broken for good, or will the water slowly evaporate and make it all right again? I have had it turned off and in the teepee position as much as possible, but I have had it turned on for some time, not knowing that i shouldnt have. It has been 2 days now, and nothing has improved so far, besides the two rows of buttons that suddenly worked again after an hours time. [/QUOTE]
