There was a box of kleenex right there (yeah I know where that's gonna go....) and I got to it pretty quick, but when I logged on the typing was all goofy. Have you ever tried to open up a laptop? Apparently it's impossible.

I heard once that if you drop your phone in water, you should put it in a bowl of rice. Then at night tiny little Asian people will be attracted to the rice and fix your phone.

So let's take predictions - will it work normal when it dries out, or is it cooked?

(yes, I had more beer)

(yes it was a craft beer - imperial IPA)

 

[ICEBALL585]

Hmmm... try it now.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I don't know about fixing your keyboard, but SS will be along shortly to see you strung up for spilling an Imperial IPA.

 

[stevew]

go buy another one after your nooner...

 

[canadmos]

Some laptops are actually designed to allow a little spillage onto the keyboard. I would first stick the thing in front of a fan, dry that sucker out.

If it works, you'll have a new definition for sticky keys . Majority of laptops can definitely be taken apart, but you might end up tossing it out the nearest window if you try. Google it, I bet there are instructions.

I would bet 16 cents that it turns on after it has dried out. 3 cents that the keys don't work. 25 cents that most of the keys work, but the spacebar is stuck in a never ending circle of stuck.

Hope it was a $hitty IIPA.

 

[jdcamb]

Couple M80's. Make some paperclip stands so that you don't blow up the keys. The rushing air from the explosion quickly blows the beer away. Go wake up the kids, they'll want to watch and its good for them to learn. Your welcome....

 

[stevew]

irony.

 

[HardtailHack]

Err craft beer, it will automatically make all your text ironic from now on.

My manual says to turn it upside down and shake it, try that.
My last one just had two screws under a dress panel and came off in a couple of minutes, maybe yours is similar?

 

[jstuhlman]

by now it's dry...but when you do it again, canned air (or air compressor) has helped in the past. blow that chit in out!

 

[lovebunny]

What kind of IIPA? Imperial from green flash is one of my favorite

 

[Westy]

Just spill a bloody mary on it in the morning.

He better get all the porn off first.....

 

[MMike]

I nearly did the same thing the other day....I swear the bottle was at a 30 deg angle over the keyboard when I caught it...

I am a ninja

So your Laptop is fine. And his is ruined. Imagine how he feels? Just remember you're not Westy. Only he can get away with being a total asshole here... Do you even know what a Ninja is? Have you ever seen a Ninja in Leather Pants? Hell no....

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Cooked. Drill would have been

1. Remove battery
2. Rinse with demineralized water
3. Let it dry a looong time

 

[MMike]

If it's a mac I think you can dry it out in the microwave

 

[HardtailHack]

Before you put more water on it try to find some instructions on how to rip it apart. It will only come apart in two ways but one of them won't let you put it back together again so be careful.

 

[cecil]

Take it to the dry cleaner duh!!

 

[jonKranked]

beer is magical. it turns a laptop into toast!

 

[Westy]

You can also wring them out like a towel.

fold it up and put it in your back pocket and squeeze it out...

 

[stevew]

[Colonel Angus]

Thanks for all the humor. I'll give an update in a few days.

Did it loose a lot of weight and get really paranoid

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

gross

 

[jdcamb]

Clearly it is Mmikes fault. And then he callously rubbed it in for good measure. Something needs to be done about Him/ Her/ whatever.....

[WestCoastHucker]
