    Beware of the coffee cup

    I have drop my first morning coffee on my Toshiba notebook. Really almost all the coffee has been drop on the table, only very few coffee has entered trough the keyboard. As soon as the coffee has touched the keyboard the computer has died.

    Quickly, I have dried carefully the computer but unfortunately I can't switch it on again.

    Perhaps the coffee is for the computers the same that cyanide is for humans.

    From Physical Security Of Your Notebook

    Keep food and drink away from your notebook. The notebook warranty does not cover spills inside the computer, and the SWAT Shop cannot always repair a machine that had a liquid spill. Even a tiny amount of water can cause enough corrosion to ruin a notebook.
    From Maximize your notebook

    To keep your keyboard neat, special attachments are available for your vacuum cleaner, which make it easy to get into all those nooks and crannies. You can also use a can of compressed air to blow out dust and particles. If you spill liquid onto your keyboard, place a towel over it and immediately turn it upside down so that the liquid can drain out.

    Fortunately the coffee seems to be dry now, the computer can be switched on.

    And of course the coffee was regular, with lot of caffeine.

    Now there are only side effects, the Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys are hard to push.

    Bye, I'm going to prepare a coffee.

    You have now successfully installed coffeine on your machine. Your notebook is now addicted. You must feed it each day with more and more and more coffeine.

    Next time try some of the good strong Columbian grade (the other Columbian export)... Your computer will run at double speed and be able to work through the night... (but it will need to go to the toilet every hour or so).

    Dude, be careful.. How many times have I walked down the street and a junky computer in the gutter is begging for money to support its habbit.

    Get it into rehab now before it gets worse. And it will deteriorate farily quickly especially if it runs under windows.

    You take it with sugar? My brother was driving my car, holding a cup of coffee. While waiting to make a right turn, he thought the person in front of him made the right already. Seeing a gap in traffic, we went, and prompty rear-ended the person in front of him. A 5MPH accident isn't bad at all, however most of the cup of coffee he was holding went ALL OVER my radio.

    Buttons were stuck for months!

    Viggy

    PS. He liked lots of sugar in his coffee.

    You may clean your keyboard. All notebooks are very easy dissassembeled , when I was little I have made such things with my fathers notebook

    I bet your father felt very very happy viewing his computer dissassembled and gave you a reward.
