Stupid me, I dumped half a cup of coffee onto my laptop this morning! (no, not on purpose)
couldn't believe my eyes as all the coffee disappeared in between the keys. Haven't pulled a doofas move like that in probably 20 years. Man I powered down and popped the battery so fast. Then completely disassembled this $1000 machine to the bare bones, lightly blew some compressed air on the parts and let it set all day while I worked on the Polara.
Threw her back together and wella, back online. Pretty impressed with this HP.
I was a little nervous as it is the last day to file tax returns up here, and I had everything done, except a double check and send.
Whew, dodged a bullet!
 
Nice save....well done. :thumbsup:
 
Back it up ASAP. It may still damage delicate components over the next few days and corrosion will be your enemy. Happened to my daughter.
 
Wow you got lucky...

the back-up sounds like a great idea too

good luck hope for the best
 
yes, definitely back it up NOW!

like has been mentioned...gremlins may still lurk in a few days
