I spilled nail polish remover on my laptop! Touchpad wont work!?
I accidentally spilled nail polish remover all over my laptop. Thank god it seems to be working fine. But my touchpad is the only thing not working. I can navigate using a usb plug in mouse, but when I enable the touchpad it wont respond to my finger and when left alone it jumps erratically all over the screen with no prompting. have I completely ruined it or is there anything I can do? The right click and left click buttons seem to work fine.

The nail polish remover went into the touch pad circuitry and shorted it out, fix is to replace the touch pad. You are fortunate that it did not get onto the mother board and other internal components are you would be buying a new laptop. Liquids and computers do not mix.

Ok, time to break it to you: Your touchpad is screwed. Be glad that the nail polish remover didn't get into the keyboard. Just keep using a mouse, or take it to Best Buy to see if it can be replaced.

So, your laptops is working correct its just the keyboard proper? Then simply buy a brand new keyboard, like a computer one, and plug it in. It'll be cheaper to do it that means than to exchange the computing device keyboard itself, of direction that you can however laptop keyboards themselves are cheap its just you can surely take it to a restore store the place they may charge you round $one hundred, when you can just purchase a 5-10 buck desktop keyboard.

the liquid probably went UNDER the pad and ruined it :/ we spilled water once and it ruined ours.
