NoDaddyNo, Laptop Question

[2Thick]

I posted a while back that I spilled a little water on my laptop (right where the hinges are) and the only affect after I dried it out was the loss of the use of the mouse button (the one in the middle of the keyboard) and the buttons that correspond to 'right click' and 'left click'

What do you think is wrong and how much to fix it?

Kegels are better for distance

I guess some of the buttons shorted out. Short of opening the case up and fiddling around with it, I doubt there's much you can do on your own. Laptops aren't very friendly inside.

I have taken apart my HP and I know that they have a parts supply site that I can order replacement parts from.

If you have a center trackpoint thing in the keyboard, that sounds like you either have an IBM, a Dell, or one of the Toshibas that has that.

I have no idea on the cost, but I know that for me to replace the keyboard on my laptop would have cost $40 and then my own labor to replace it.

If you take it somewhere locally, then they ideally they have the part in house, if they don't then they can dick you on the shipping and the time involved.

Worst case scenerio is that you have to send it back to the company to fix - that can take a long time.

The cost itself is likely going to be around $100 on the low end.

If you don't actually travel much with your laptop, or if you don't actually use your laptop on your lap and usually have it on a desk/table in front of you - then you should be able to just attach a mouse to it via the serial port or USB if you have it.
That would be a much cheaper solution.

Speaking of laptops I heard the Macs are much better than a PC. Is this true?

If it's under warranty opening it will no doubt void it entirely. Don't do it or don't tell them you did.

As for whether they are - I'm keeping my broken PC and will fix it and still use it for some things.

But I've also got a new 15" alum PowerBook on its way to test out as well.

I'm giddy like a schoolgirl.
