Cause & Fixes<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Liquid Spills-\u00a0<\/strong>When you spill a drink on your keyboard the first thing to do is immediately turn off your laptop and remove the battery. This will hopefully prevent any electrical damage or shorting of the motherboard.\u00a0<\/strong>After preventing damage to the system, you should weigh the options that are available to you before making any decisions. Consider what would happen if you lost everything on your laptop and how that would effect your life. The advise I would give is to take to a computer pro such as,\u00a0IQ Computer Services,<\/strong>\u00a0to save this data and hopefully the laptop.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Problematic Keys-\u00a0<\/strong>Whether the keys are worn, missing, or sticking \u00a0you can most of the time you can replace it with a new or used keyboard for an affordable cost. These types of repairs don\u2019t take more than a few hours in most cases.\u00a0 Some keyboards are integrated meaning they are actually part of the system and can\u2019t be easily replaced separately. In these instances replacing the keyboard would be a bit more costly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
