Coffee spilled on thinkpad. no light

Hello

Stupidly, concerned about anxiety I spilled a cup of black coffee warm the upper left corner of the keyboard of my R60e. After a few seconds, that the system went blind anywhere. I disconnected AC and battery and shook what coffee was dripping bottomm especially the side and rear fan vents and shortly after that I opened it via the instructions to change keyboard and all found inside still dry - even below the keyboard - except a few drops of coffee all about fan I still towel dabbed and dried off and closed up. I waited 15 minutes and attached battery and power on button / for half a second the green light flashed battery then nothing more. I did briefly even with ca and even effect.

I googled of remedies in the case everything is not lost and made a popular but which resulted in pressing the down ten times power button, 1 time per second, then down to more than thirty seconds and a short wait for the system supposedly I guess, not go. I put the R60e side in the case where there is a place deep inside that did get wet not dry to try this when re - set it up again and now work on a backup with Linux Maya R31. Thank God my R60e had an account Copy.com who constantly backs up your files to use to! Since the entrails were remarkably dry, would be - this coffee is infiltrated deeply a small area around the fans and something that is still recoverable short-circuit?

Can anyone make any recommendation that I can try in the meantime? Please - my pennsionn cannot afford a new machine or most anything else, this season or after.

Would be really grateful for any help!

A user of Thinkpad Galant to Thinkpads comes to me with her encouraging advice! Bless the guy!

Unlike the surprising YouTube Thinkpad dip demos, it took a LOT of sober takes with this key combination to get the system lights, including a false alarm of heart-sinking when it starts and died shortly after Windows has started to start! The left keyboard keys were a bit sticky but my coffee don't have sugar--(que j'ai lu est notoire àles claviers), just equal, but perhaps by tapping on it released a constant position of lower down. It stings my curiosity as to how and what triggers the system to 'only' need of a reset instead of the new motherboard after such a near disaster. Was it recovering from a short or a stuck switch or something else? I always find it fascinating that despite everything that spilled coffee that the jury under the keyboard still has dry except some wet and drops in the fan area where the keyboard took the main blow. ThinkPad more users should be informed about this ultimate technique of bacon-eve!

Thanks Thinkpadders!

  • Coffee spilled on my satellite A210-171

    I wasted half a cup of coffee on my satellite A210-171. The screen flickered then went black but the power light stays on. It off and left on the side near a radiator.
    Intend to leave it for a few days, but the suspense is killing me.

    Please someone reassure me that there is some sort of membrane under the keyboard or it detects somewhat fluid and it will be ok!

    According to me, the liquid into the laptop is the worst thing that can happen. If the liquid reached mainboard there is nothing you can do about it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Coffee spilled on my ergonomic keyboard 4000 MS. v1 and now nothing works.

    I have it rincer rinse with plenty of water, takes off all keys and them rinsed or dried. They all feel good. Use an air hose and blew the 'stuff '. Left in an oven dry very low temp for several hours. Now there are no signs of liquid, but nothing works. When I plug it into the USB port, it looks for and loads the driver, so that he knows the keyboard exists. I have a led of led on on the numeric keypad enter but I can't seem to turn off. Another light on the lock indicator F, but I can't be a stop. But not a single key will work.

    Thank you.

  • Yoga: S1 ThinkPad won't start, only the light flashes three times.

    So I just bought a refurbished Thinkpad Yoga and everything was great for a little while. So I decided to stop it and put it aside for a few minutes. After coming back, he now refuses to even POST. I tried each power cycle I could think of, in various combinations and traveled several forums. At the end of the day, I have no functional solution.

    Current situation:

    System responds in any way other that 'i' (in the Thinkpad logo) light flashes three times when the charger is connected, or even when you press the reset button while the charger is plugged. Another illicits nothing any kind of beep, light, or otherwise.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you and best regards.

    I have the feeling that you had opened the back cover of tinkering with components (whether a change of SSD or the modem 3g / 4g).

    the symptoms you described sounds exactly like a cut cable MB. You can try opening the hood back and on the left side, you will see a wire labeled "MB". tighten, and the computer should fit now.

  • ThinkPad SL510 does not load

    Look's like if I had a big problem:

    (0 first sorry for my English)

    1. when I plug the charger in to my lights SL510 lit. If the batteries are out - computer laptop is impossible to market;
    2. If I plug the same charger to my second (old thinkpad r60 - lights turn on and everything starts normally).
    3. I take charge of my second laptop and test on SL510 - lights is still running is not on;
    4. If I try to start without charger (on battery) laptop works very well.

    Is it possible that - when my battery I can't turn on my laptop?

    [Solved] Earlier I have resolve my problem. I try a lot of crazy things to do work - focused on google and duckduckgo. So my laptop 'understand' the charger after:

    1. I remove the battery and unplug the power source.
    2. I remove RAM;
    3. Press the power button a few times 1-2-3 seconds of time
    4. Press the power button / stop for a half minute

    (also - looks like in the management of the power of this laptop is some trigger that on the blackout, can escape broad 'space' - so all you need is to reset to 0)

  • Web page does not; probably due to some button / combination mouse click

    If we had a coffee spill on our laptop, which now causes some keys to support every now and then by themselves (quite often in fact), most often it is the Enter key that gets stuck. I believe that this 'feature' combined adequately with the mouse left/right clicks caused some glitch a Web page where the appropriate combination happened, empty load now.

    Today, it happened to my gmail account: through the mails, I noticed something happening on the screen (has been too quick to see what it was, but of course, at least the entry key was stuck) but after that, I can only load gmail with basic HTML, not in the standard display. The other affected page is www.w126-forum.de, empty plain charges. With explore, the German page loads very well.

    No other pages are affected (yet)...

    Hello

    If you have not clicked accidentally specific site dialog box settings - for example. Gmail has an option to switch to the HTML version, simplified - you could try the feature reset Firefox via help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information.

    (To return to the previous mode, you were using, close the new profile (i.e. Quit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the default user profile.) Alors_que Profile Manager is open, you can also remove the reset your profile (the one containing the random numbers) or the old profile, as appropriate). If the reset is correct, it would be a good idea to delete the old profile as otherwise it would be left intact with the previous data before deletion.

  • Satellite R850 - battery and the question of the burden

    I HAVE A TOSHIBA SATELLITE THAT I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON AND IS NOT GUARANTEED. COFFEE SPILLED ON IT WHILE I WAS DOING SOME WORK AND HE DIED.

    I LEFT DRY AND WHEN IT WAS LIT, HE WOULDN'T COME, I TOOK IT TO A STORE OF THE LOCAL COMPUTER WHERE IT WAS CLEANED AND TOLD ME TO GET A NEW BATTERY, BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS BAD, SO I HAD A BATTERY ON EBAY.

    THIS TIME, THE PROBLEM WAS that HE CHARGE FOR a MINUTE AND THEN STOP TO LOAD. I DECIDED TO TRY THE BATTERY WITH THE LAPTOP AND FOUND SUPPORT FOR 2 MINUTES SAME AND OFF. THEN I CONCLUDED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT MAYBE THE MOTHERBOARD. BUT SINCE IT IS A NEW LAPTOP I WAS ADVISED TO JOIN THE TOSHIBA ONLINE FORUM, SO THAT I WILL BE DIRECTED TO WHERE THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED PERMANENTLY.

    PLEASE COULD ALL HELP. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL...

    Thank you

    > BUT SINCE IT IS A NEW LAPTOP I WAS ADVISED TO JOIN THE TOSHIBA ONLINE FORUM, SO THAT I WILL BE DIRECTED TO WHERE THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED PERMANENTLY.

    What to say; the coffee spilled on the laptop and any fluid is not really good for an internal parts especially for the motherboard.

    I have no idea what part exactly damaged by spilled coffee, but it looks like a part of the motherboard is affected. Perhaps is the electronic power supply defective?

    I think that the laptop needs a verification and don t ask any technicians Nick fans because these guys just talk about possible problems.

    The device must be checked by a professional technician (service partner chartered Toshiba in your country) which has special tools and diagnostic software.

    Contact your Toshiba service center to solve the problem. but I do not know if the warranty covers the it. In Hp Centre of such situation is not covered. We do it just for the money.
