it wouldnt open, it turns on but u dont here the sound of the machines working

first my dad told me to put it somewhere warm, on top of the fire place, after about an hour when i went to see it i saw some water drops on it, then he was like , i told you, so he used a hair dryer and started to blow dry my computer for 15 mins

but with low heat so nothing would melt

and it actually worked, we did it for 7 times before we took it to get fixed

When you have time just take all the keys out one row at a time and give it a good clean with a damp cloth, not to wet just enough to help get rid of the grease. Then from now on just give it a vacuum once in awhile and spray with a disenfectant. You’d be amazed at how many germs accumulate on the keyboard alone. More that the toilet!!

They sell canned air for this purpose… to blow the stuff out of the keyboard… and they make the keyboard vacuums. I’ve used the canned air… it works fine.
