Some weeks ago, I spilled coffee with cream over the keyboard of my primary W7 laptop. The main board and keyboard electronics were ruined. We have just this weekend discovered that the hard drive was not damaged and the data is being recovered. One day, I may have a working office computer also.
This occurred just after a hardware crash on my office W7 desktop computer. Up that well known creek without a paddle. At least my mobile phone could do email and text messages for me.
I now have a new W10 laptop with fingerprint and eyeball security for sign on. My Android mobile has those security features also. Learning W10 AND Gmail at the same time was not pleasant and my normal grumpy personality went rapidly from bad to worse.
Then all my forums forgot who I was and demanded new passwords - except Leverguns that is. Leverguns sent me a new password and W10 would not accept it, beginning a futile effort to have a password mailed to me, and not to my computer. Finally, out of desperation, I learned how to convince W10 that where was no stored password for me and tonight, I successfully am back on Leverguns.
Now, if I can only remember all those clever responses to all those posts that I read days ago!
I mmmm Back!!!

Re: I mmmm Back!!!
Glad you're back. You know, they make a thin flexi cover for that keyboard but I don't like the feel it gives the key action and besides, they don't make one to fit this slightly smaller Dell laptop. If you really want to destroy one try coke. You know the Coca Cola kind. That stuff will take the silver off the contacts immediately.

Re: I mmmm Back!!!
MM,
Apparently the main board was just under where most of the coffee went and my attempts to clean it out failed. Fortunately, the internal disk drive was not affected and my son has it loaded into and external device and it can be read with Windows 10. When he is finished with it, he will provide me access to the DropBox folder where he has loaded it and I can begin retrieving anything of value. We shall see.

Laptops.... Everyone's mileage will vary, but generally whatever kills the keyboard will fry the 'puter, too....
