I spilled coffee on my laptop

Friday, August 21st, 2009

That’s right! I spilled coffee, well actually tea, on one of my most treasured items, my Apple Macbook Pro!

My desktop PC was crashing all the time and I think first the fan, then video card, then power supply and finally the mother board is gone!

I had purchased a Macbook Pro two years ago. Never gave me any trouble! Looked amazing! Beautiful! Simple beautiful design! Aluminum body, keyboard lighting up during night, I absolutely loved it. Never had any issues with any viruses or spy ware. Did not install any anti-virus or anti-spy ware software and did not need to. Even though apple’s operating system is not totally immune but it’s been quite robust.

In the same amount of time I had reinstalled windows xp on my PC several times, not to mention all the extra software just to keep it running virus and spyware free.

Anyhow, after cancelling the cable if I ever needed to watch anything I would just connect my laptop to my tv and watch it on youtube. It’s been perfect. I am watching only what I want to watch and nothing else.

Day before yesterday I was watching tv while having a nice cup of tea on the couch in front of it. I got up, my foot got entangled in the slippers and all of my tea got spilled on top of my laptop! I was just shocked. I quickly wiped it off. I think I had tears in my eyes. :(

But it’s still working! The keys on the keyboard are a little harder to press, especially the space bar. And instead of all the keys lighting up at night, only about 5-6 are lighting up!

I am going to find out if there is something that can be done. Because besides this laptop I don’t have a computer at home and more than that, I love my macbook pro!
