I can't really say anything--I DID spill tea on it earlier this year!
Awaiting the replacement keyboard
She turned it on Friday night and immediately started complaining because two keys would not work. Instead of fighting with it over the weekend I hooked up an external one and let her use it that way...
I went to Toshiba directly and they wanted almost $50 for the keyboard, so instead I went to ebay and bought one instead. Brand new with a year's warranty for $15.16 including shipping. That is a whole lot better than $50!
I am just leaving it dissassembled from where I took it apart to try to clean it and bring the keys back to life. It won't hurt a thing to leave it out for a day or two.
From the little white drops I'm seeing I wonder if perhaps the kiddo splashed some milk on this little devil... I didn't see any underneath the keyboard but I saw some white spots under the two nonfunctional keys...of course she won't admit to anything *sigh*
In a few days the new keyboard will be here (they will ship tomorrow) and I will put it back together for the kid.
All in all, this toshiba is STILL a great old laptop. With all of the abuse it has taken I am still quite proud of it, even if I am laughing at the irony of the keyboard failing now.
