Stop using the CD drawer as a cup holder.

Don't try to fix it. If its under that type of warranty ship it off because if you do get it working again, it could crap out sometime down the road when your warrnanty has expired.

Keyboards are cheap. Get a new one.

I can pretty much guarantee you that you won't get a single helpful suggestion. A lot of sarcasm and funny pictures, but not one meaningful solution to your problem. Wish I could help...

Suggestions? Yeah. Go to a Best Buy or a Staples or a Circuit City or an Office Depot and buy a new one. It should cost around $14.99. A lot cheaper than having some PC repair jockey clean your old one and charge you 50 bucks.

It's a laptop. Can you replace just the keyboard of a laptop? I didn't think so...

Your laptop keyboard is hosed. Buy a standard keyboard (you can get them for about $10) and plug it in to the keyboard port.

Remove all sensitive information from the machine before it is shipped. Also backup what you can. Many times the service will result in wiping the information.

Soak it in alcohol. I have a friend who rescued a cell phone that was dropped in water using this method.

Check the back of it to see if a PS/2 port is there. It'll look like an S-video connector.

You are right. I don't think you can and overlooked the fact that it was a laptop. I am about as sharp as a stump these days.
