Laptops & Notebooks - September 2007

This is not my laptop...but the person's kid spilled soda or something on it, and the keyboard doesn't work. I took it off and sprayed it with warm water, then blew it out with compressed air. Still didn't work.

I disabled the onboard keyboard, and plugged in a USB keyboard. That didn't work either.

Might the problem be something else besides the keyboard?

EVERYTHING else works. Touch pad, connecting to the internet, video, everything. Except the keyboard.

Any ideas?

I bought a Toshiba laptop last week from Best Buy. I am experiencing a strange problem with the internet screens minimizing constantly. I took it in to BB and they reinstalled the internet 7.0, thinking it was the internet. Well, I am still experiencing this problem and it is terrible. The screens are minimizing constantly. Maybe I am not using the mouse correctly? It doesn't seem to matter if I am clicking on the scroll bar or even a link in the middle of the page. The whole page closes, and is on the bottom. What is going on here???? I can't get any work done, it is so bad. PLEASE any suggestions?????????????????

My husband dropped a remote on it and the screen is all messed up. Don't say we have to buy a new one, or does a place fix this sort of thing? The computer itself is fine just the monitor......

I didn't have the start up disk. At that point I should have just took it in to a shop or found the right boot disk,,,anyway I I installed another copy of WinXP that i had for another computer. Now I can't find my wireless modem or any of my drivers. Can't even watch a DVD. Will the boot disk help at this point?

I installed the memory correctly I think, When I tired to boot the computer , I got only a black screen. I do not know what I did wrong. I could not even turn it off unless I unplugged the unit. What is wrong with the computer. The book said it had the capacity of 4 GB in this computer, an I attempted to take this computer to its maximum ram memory. What could have happened to my computer at least this computer is still under warranty, should I send it bac to Toshiba to further help me out with the problem with my computer.
