    Hello everybody.

    I have a Sony vaio laptop, and last night I spilled Ice Cream on my keyboard. I had a warranty, but I found out that it does not cover liquid damage. So the guy in the fry'z electronics suggested me to open the computer myself and clean it before the ice cream will cause any damage to motherboard. There were some keys in the keyboard that were like very sticky.

    First of all, I had a hard time opening the case of the computer. But finally I manage to open it. Then I saw that there were no sign of ice cream on motherboard. So should I still be worried about ice cream causing any damage?

    Then I cleaned the keyboard with alcohol that they suggested me, and the keys are not sticky anymore.

    But there's still two more problem that I still have.

    1. The touch pad still not working.
    2. When I put everything again back as normal, my keyboard is not on place correctly. In the center of the keyboard is like a bridge, it's going from the left normally and in the center it's rises, and it's going down in the right center.

    I've attached few pics, I hope you can see the problem clearly, and will be able to advise me anything tat can fix my computer.
