    So I accidentally spilled orange juice on my laptop and it seems the sound card is broken as well as the biometric finger reader. They want me to send in my laptop for repair but since I can't go the 10-15 days without a computer so I declined and apparently they can't send a technician under an accidental damage :( I called a couple of times and one of the tech reps had told me they would send out a technician this one time only, but apparently I was lied to because I called again for the keyboard and was told theres no technician involved. :mad: So they're sending parts only, mobo for sound card, palm rest for finger reader and keyboard.

    So how easy would it be to install all of this by myself?
