About 6 months ago at some silly time in the morning I managed to knock a glass of orange juice over the keyboard.....it made some very ill noises....and turned off   6 months ago it was nice and warm out....so i left it battery disconnected sitting in sun while orange juice dribbled out of it.
Day later put battery back in and it fired back into life   No probs except sometimes keys stick a bit.

Last night i went and did it again  .....except a glass of red wine this time  
It made some very un healthy noises and turned off again, i thought poops ive gone and done it this time  
Left it sitting on a radiator for several hours with the batt unplugged.....tried it again...no luck....didnt even show charging light when i plugged in charger.....so thought buggar ive killed it this time....left it last night.....this morning i thought id try it again.....plugged batt in and guess what it sprung back into life again  8-)

Hard to say. try submersing it in a bath of hot, soapy water for an hour or so, and then drop it from the top floor of a block of flats. If its rubbish, that should find it out.

As many know, I rate Dell laptops. Alas, I have to have an HP laptop now for work, and once again, last week I had to get out dustpan and brush to sweep it up....

I have a Dell desktop and a Dell laptop, always found them an excellent company to deal with.

It could probably do with immersing in a tank of tricloroethene.....to give it an inner cleanse  .....but its been a few years since ive worked with that chemical and its probably banned now  :-/

I did that to a Dell (trying to use a laptop in the bath). Dried it out, and it worked for a while. Eventually blew up though.

I was using my bosses Dell laptop the other day and a single droplet of water fell on it from the condensation of my glass of water. Killed it for the whole day. Fortunately she was in a meeting and it was working by the time she got out!

Sounds like your laptop has taken a fair bit of punishment it maybe worth seeing if some of the pc shops do a laptop keypad cover.

A mate of mine has this on his and it works a treat.
