Coffee Splatter on Screen

[2106greencat]

Okay Foxy - I know you are out there, what do I do to fix it ?

Only it wasn't coffee, it was wine, and not just the screen, the whole laptop copped it.

Any remedies ????

HELP

bump I think you have been lucky - putting more liquid onto a laptop to wash off more corrosive liquids, holds so much potential to do even more damage than good, truly.

i should have said glad wrap might be a useful preventative measure - although there are probably several eBayers out there who are living proof that it doesn't always work

though the keys are a little sssstttiiiccckkkyyy

everytime my cat walks across the keyboard I get a message asking if I want to turn on sticky keys !!!!!!!!!!!

[2106greencat]

tonaldi - good advice

cats - yep done all that

lotb - not sure too sure how to reply

OR . . . . let the cat body heat warm the laptop after squirting 

LOL . . . just re-read this part.  The squirting I was referring to was from the water bottle :8}

Oh - yeh - sure - oookkkaaayy :^O

BTW - I'm am a girl pussycat :-x

[foxette-in-sox]

Excuse me for stating the obvious-buy a new one.Tax deduction along with depreciation for future coffee splatters ON the screen :-x

(scratches head & seriously wonders,just wonders)

[2106greencat]

Well - IT IS ABOUT TIME

thank  you Foxy

lotb thank you for telling the cat how to spray water on their laptop.

silly me presumed that they would already know the bleedin' obvious.

re glad wrap - sounds like something a tory mp would wrap themselves in before accessing a computer however should the cat wish to wrap herself in glad wrap to keep the laptop clean then who am i to judge?

1. Detach yourself momentarily from the computer to select a good cheese to accompany said wine.

2. Keep cheese away from mouse (in full view of mouse is acceptable).

3. Alternate between cheese and wine for a sufficient period - 30 minutes minimum is recommended in order to be able to complete task 4 to a competent level.

4. Access the internetz (the distinction between internet and internetz is important. To verify if you are indeed on the internetz, look for telltale signs like leet or "1337" speak, and other near-unintelligible representations of language.

5. Squint at the screen until amusement is found.

6. Under NO circumstances should you ROFL. LOL'ing is acceptable, PYSL'ing is almost inevitable given the volatile combination of wine and internetz, but ROFL'ing will void all actions taken thus far. Note, however, that the primary goal of this task is to locate a COSM (cheese on screen moment).

7. Call tech support and explain the situation, at which point they will tell you to re-start your computer.

8. Problem solved. 😉
