Coffee spilled on the keyboard.

Laptop HP 4540 S, Win7 64 bit.  No error msg.  Removed battery and dried up all the liquid with absorbent paper.  Removed the bottom panel, so it can dry at night.  Any other ideas before I turn it on tomorrow?

Thank you

Ed

  • Tecra M5: print fingerprint sensor is not working properly because a drink was spilled on the keyboard

    My finger print sensor does not work correctly as a drink was spilled on the keyboard. While booting, it automatically "fails" 5 times in a row (without any attempt to slide a finger), and then by default at the entrance of password to boot the disk hard machine.

    This is not a problem and all I want to do is disable the finger print sensor, but cannot work out how to do this. I tried to uninstall the driver, who seemed done without any problem, but during the reboot, the sensor still seems active, and always goes through the same process.

    Everything else works fine and it's just a minor niggle, but I would like to delete the gene of it me beep 5 times then it does its thing.

    Can someone tell me how I turn it off completely?

    Thank you.

    Did you remove the fingerprint software? If Yes check if some unknown device is listed in Device Manager. Please post the result.

    Maybe you can try to disable this unknown device and it will not be recognized as new hardware every time when you start the laptop.

  • water spilled on the keyboard

    I have a macbook air, about 4 years, OS 10.9.5. I spilled water on the keyboard last night. I have it turned off, it turned on its side and mopped up the water that has flowed to the surface. I thought it would be a good idea to let it all dry for a few days before turning on again. Is there anything else I need to do?

    Hello.

    Some suggestions here that I would have this problem.

    1. disconnect the cables around it and disconnect the battery if possible.

    2. the weird towel and fan tour - see link below - can take up to 96 hours

    3. you can stuff the Mac in rice or Silica Gel...

    4 bring to the Apple Store for damage diagnosis.

    Those who have been the best 4 steps, that I could find.

    The towel and fan thing would probably work better, but I've never tried.

    It is good that you turned it off immediately, otherwise there will be very little chance to recover it.

    If there is no hope on the recovery, she, there at least could be a way to recover his files. You can remove it from his hard drive and take the files out of it.

    I do not know how to perform this process, but I don't know that you need some sort of hard disk drive. I also do not recommend do you it yourself, but if you really want, maybe it's the kind of thing you need. sur-noir http://www.bestbuy.com/site/thermaltake-blacx-hard-drive-enclosure-docking-stati / 9062055.p? id = 1219699418029 & skuId = 9062055 & Ref = 06 & loc = 01 & ci_src = 14110944 & ci_sku = 9062055 & extensionType = pla_multichannel:g, & s_kwcid = PTC! pla! 127785011599! g! 93427450999 & kpid = 9062055 & k_clickid = 27a17115-1578-0e68-4b46-000019524ba4 & lsft = r ef: 212, loc:1 & ksid = 27a17115-1578-0e68-4b46-000019524ba4 & ksprof_id = 8 & ksaffcode = 4114 pg1 & ksdevice = c

  • Beer spilled on the keyboard

    I just did something stupid and spilled beer on my keyboard.  I gave and it evacuated and wiped the top of the keyboard.  It's a keyboard for a desktop computer.  What should I do?

    Thank you.

    Well, I took the keyboard out there (there are about a dozen screws!) and noticed there is no liquid on the bottom of the keyboard where the circuit board (or whatever that this is called) is.  So I ran the top plastic of the keyboard under the water to get rid of beer, let dry and reassembled the keyboard.  So far it works great.  (Typos are my responsibility, not the keypad.)  Thanks for your suggestions!

    There was a sweet drink spilled on my keyboard and the keys are now sticky

    Are there ways for me to remove the top of the key, so that I can sticky sugar wipe my keys. I don't know if I can just pop off the keys on this laptop. Can anyone help?

  • Coffee spilled on the magic keyboard

    Hi guys, I recently spilled some coffee on my keyboard magic and tried my best to remove it...

    The day after that, I tried to use it to see if it worked correctly and he realized that some of the keys are not working...

    Is there a way I could solve this problem?

    Here is a photo showing the keys which do not and those who are...

    Probably toast.

    Worse still, you can probably buy more 2 (one is a backup) and little to transport the parts.  OWC (macsales.com) carries the original wireless keyboard.  The only wireless sold by Apple now keyboard is designed for single El Capitan, not only not to work (less reliable) with Yosemite and back.  It does not... easy to tell who's old and new batteries.

    OWC carries the old style, still at $69.  As well as the old style Magic Trackpad at $69.

    If you beg and plead, Apple store * could * exchange one of the used old from their shelves for a fee, but ask nicely.

  • Equium P200 1IR - how to remove the keyboard internal?

    This portable soup spilled on the keyboard and now will not start, even with a wired USB keyboard. I want to disconnect the internal keyboard, because it seems that is what causes the problem. (I have experience). But I don't see how.

    I did some research on the web and looked at http://www.irisvista.com/ (mentioned in another thread), but not found anything that seems applicable to this model.

    Hey,.

    You should know that these disassembly guides not available in Internet so it s just good luck if you find guides or photos how to disassemble a laptop. These manuals are available for the service providers allowed according to me

    Anyway, normally it s not difficult to swap the keyboard. As far as I know, so you must remove the door-keyboard. You can do this with a thin tool
    After that, you should a few screws that attach the keyboard you have to remove and that s all

    On the Web site that you posted, you can find more instructions for Satellite P200. Perhaps this model P200 is similar to your check it!

    But to be honest, I doubt that your laptop would start after removing the keyboard, but you can try it. In the worst cases, you need professional help. An authorized service provider can check all hardware components. :)

  • [Solved] X121E not start after I spilled coffee on the keyboard :/

    Hello

    My X121e can not start after I spilled coffee on the keyboard, even when it is dry now (I opened and used a hairdryer).

    When I press the power button, the Red led turns on for a second and then it turns off.

    The fan remains off...

    How can I confirm hardware failure? Is there a reset button on this laptop? It is written in the user manual, but I couldn't find it...

    Thank you!

    Everything is OK now: it has restarted!

  • Portege M300: orange light flashes after spill coffee on the keyboard

    My friend got a M300 and hes recently was smart enough to reverse half a cup of coffee on his laptop keyboard. The first thing is that the laptop power not on at all even when plugged so it might be possible to defects. The weird thing is that the orange light for the socket ((deuxieme left) continues to blink slowly to me - any ideas on what this could mean?

    I havn't tried to clean the keyboard yet due to lack of a small enough screwdriver to unscrew, but because the laptop does not in any case, I think that the problem may be bigger than that. Is that what I can do with him or is it just a case of having to buy a new computer laptop coffee becaue is not covered by the warranty lol

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks J

    Hello

    I agree with Miro.
    The must be something wrong with the hardware. Code bilking isn't always the same. The orange light flashes different for different dysfunctions.
    The Toshiba service partner can read this code and then can give you a good answer on the blackout.

  • Keyboard does not just after all top coffee spill

    I have a Toshiba with Windows Home Premium Sp 1 64bt. I recently spilled some coffee on the left side of the keyboard. I cleaned it up quickly, but some of the keys stopped working: the 1QWETA & keys S I have a locality says that they could easily fix it. The guy on the phone said less than $30, then another guy yelled minimum $50. In any case, I decided to buy keyboard logitech plugin. Everything went very well connect the keyboard. I was able to type my password without problem. Then I opened word and I had to hold each button a second or two before the letter. It's the same program I've tried, including online. Logitech has replaced the keyboard after trying with telephone & online. The story is the same with the replacement. Does anyone have ideas for a fix for this? Either get the keyboard to work or a fixed address on the original keyboard? Thank you!

    Thanks, but this response does not apply to my question.

    I'm afraid it does. Your coffee damaged keyboard interferes with the external keyboard. To stop the intervention you need to unplug or replace it. There's no other way.

  • spilled water on the keyboard, the keys do not work Ideapad Z500

    Hello

    A few hours ago I accidentally spilled water on the keyboard of my Lenovo Z500 Touch. The PC was only going to batteries, not connected with the adapter. I cleaned the water immediately. I turned it off, only it works a few times to see if everything was ok. Now (about 6 hours of the accident) most of the keys on the keyboard do not work. I turned the pc upside, hope it's just the water left in the keys, and now I'm waiting for the water to dry.

    any other advice?

    Thank you

    tonight I'm going to disassemble the keyboard and dry it with a hair dryer, gently and slowly warming not too. I have read that it does not disturb the guarantee as tha keyboard is a modifiable element.

    Any advice?

  • Satellite A305 - how to clean the keyboard after juice spills

    Hey guys,.

    I had a the sSatellite series A305 an i could not find discussions on this exactly.
    Basically whats up's had one incident minor orange juice on the left side of the keyboard thankfully not a lot of juice to all minor.
    I managed to clean most on the surface. And had to work it's good enough to get out of the speaker box.

    However, some of the keys are a bit of stick now, i wondered if there are techniques to withdraw safely on that I must do before I try to block these keys. Hmm pressing on enter appear... in any case...

    I had one of these laptops before a few months ago, but one of the keys is broken somehow, after that, I got a little worried because I had to basically return it and get another laptop from work. If im sure it was a defective key with the last one I was not playing with keys, but I'm not sure how sustainable this is. Also this will probably also help to learn how to clean the keyboard, theres a bit of a dust and grump under the space bar which has been botherin me an i have no idea how to remove one get clean the dirt below.

    I'll check this post when I wake up in the morning. If you know the techniques of hair removal good explain please, I'm not very good with directions so patient with me.

    Hello

    To be honest, you will never be able to clean the keyboard. Break down the water is maybe not so bad, but the juice is sticky and can not be cleaned properly.
    I'm afraid that you need a new keyboard. :(
