    Biker, feel free to jump in and assist. More collective solutions is better then one personal opinion. No one answer may be correct. The end result is what matters......:biggrin_2558:

    So I spilled soda on my HP laptop keyboard about 6 months of so ago
    I do use an external keyboard because it spells crazy things when I use the original one
    I have many problems and would like to reload windows
    I have restored already with almost no help
    What are the chances that I will lose the whole computer if I reload
    I don't have the grand to buy one right now

    No problem.. Should also add I used to do Consumer Data Support for AT&T.. Got a Crackberry that's acting up? I was one of the folks that helped you get it workin' again. :)

    Ewwwww. Notebooks are tough to do repair work with.. If you have the patience, you can remove each key (CAREFULLY!) and then wipe the membrane down with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol. Don't use detergents as they can leave a residue.

    As for reloading Winderz, you shouldn't have any issues as long as the external keyboard is working fine. Is it a USB connection?

    Fortunately, no... It was amazing the number of times I'd get the "OMG YOU SPEAK ENGLISH" when answering calls. LOL

    Yes
    USB wireless
    I never had all the problems until the soda
    Now its slow, low virtual memory and so much more
    I am worried that its worse than just the keyboard
    Thanks for your help

    When's the last time you did a complete/total virus/trojan/spyware scan? What antivirus software are you using?
