You may want to use the goodness of extra pure water to clean stuff , like the industry , but it's expensive . Only consider the data recovery pro if truly desperate . Possibly sell the parts online as it's hard to isolate the failure without a known good machine for all part swapping . - good luck as I fear you may need it - Bruce<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">,,...m: Edward Cherlin <<a ymailto="mailto:echerlin@gmail.com" href="/mc/compose?to=echerlin@gmail.com">echerlin@gmail.com</a>><br><div class="plainMail">Subject: [conspire] Juice in keyboard<br>To: <a ymailto="mailto:conspire@linuxmafia.com"

It functioned with a few stuck keys for several<br>days, then stopped booting into Linux. Enough of the circuitry<br>functions so that the hard drive light comes on briefly when I turn it<br>on, and I can shut down normally with the power button. I don't know<br>whether it can be fixed, or whether I will have to get the hard drive<br>taken out and mounted elsewhere. I am open to questions and<br>knowledgeable suggestions. Jokes that are more funny than painful are<br>also
acceptable.<br><br>Almost all of my files are backed up, except for one that I turn out<br>to need as soon as possible. I have another computer with Linux....<br></div></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
