urbandruidHey, guys.
I'm SO glad it's Friday, you have no idea. Long week.
Last night I finally decided to throw in the towel and take Anna to Best Buy, to have the Geek Squad check her out. I had some trouble getting the cables unplugged- one of them was stuck on something. So I leaned over to reach behind the desk and sort it out...and knocked over a nearly full glass of Sprite. I got the back of Morden, a lot of the desk, and a bit of the power strip. Go me.
Everything's fine, though I did let the power strip dry out over night before I hooked things back in.
But for a second there, I figured I'd fried Morden, too.
So, after all that, I figured we might as well get Anna to Best Buy. Stood in line for what felt like ages there, watching somebody's bratty kid run around until I wanted to smack both the kid and their parent.
After looking over the computer, poking around at some stuff, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, Mr. Geek Squad tells me... I need to replace the keyboard.
No shit, really? Okay, so I shouldn't mock the guy- he was very nice.
So, the upshot is, if I can find the part, and bring them Anna and said part, they'll install it for me. Which is good, because I'm not about to do it. He said it'd probably cost around $39 for the labor. I suspect it might turn out to be more when they find out how much crap they actually have to do, but, whatever.
Now if I can just find the part...
