I tried ATILA’s tweak and it worked… heh… damn well. I silenced my roommate’s mouse. (FarmTown addict, driving me BATSHIT with the fishclicking….) She’s slightly put off by the total lack of sensation and sound out of the thing, says it will take getting used to, but gods is the silence divine…. *grins*

About 4 days ago I spilled some wine onto my compaq presario 2135us norebook. The assault was from the right hand side so the fluid made its way into the cd rom immediately below. It was running at the time, but I shut it off and tilted it to drain what I could away, which seemed to get quite a bit out.

While the keyboard seemed to type an entra “h” here and there at first, it now seems working fine (the keyboard and most everything else).

The exception is the cd-rom. Initially, it wouldn’t even open if the button was pressed, though it did open via software ‘eject’ command. Now it opens when its exterior button is pressed, but fails to read anything on the drive. It seems to spin a while, looking, but no luck.

I asked at Best Buy, and they directed me to a cd/dvd laser cleaner which uses ‘micro brushes’ to clean the lens ($17), but I decided to wait.

Well, it still doesn’t read, but opens and spins.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Brian.

Great I was looking for this, as I’m Leaving for hollidays, this will be a perfect project before getting off.

-In reply to the gravity lovers, I understood that with this solution the chicks will eat the grain all day, wrather than just around feeding time in the morning.

Thanks mate, good instructable…

How do you get the batteries in? do you slide them in through the opening? Also, (sorry) where should I get all the electrothingy-ma-bobs?

Just FYI on this post.. I revived a MB Pro Unibody that a baby yakked all over. There was corrosion on the logic board, and I was able to get it working again after using this method. Apple store did a “diagnostic” and determined that the board was fried, and to just purchase a new one. Nothing a can of electrical contact cleaner and a toothbrush can’t fix!

Would suggest you try bottled Guinness…youll find the taste to be completely different from canned (or draught)…and tastes at its best served in a glass AND slightly warm…gorgeous

Spilled some nail polish on my laptop keyboard. Turned it upside down right away, put nail polish remover. Doesn’t look good. I’ve seen all kinds of comments about pepsi, beer, wine, but no nail polish. Help, anybody?
