OH FUCKING HELL (wax on laptop-centric)

proslo [Edit] [Delete] 01:17, 29 May '10

I've just spilled a lot - A LOT - of wax on my laptop.

I've got it off the screen and the casing and the top of the keys, but the keyboard appears fucked. I took all the keys off, carefully, washed as best as I could then dried, and then put the keys back on.

None of the keys now work, and worse, I can't actually get into my laptop any more - it took me about half an hour to type my password to log on, and then when logged on a shitload of stuff kept flashing about and appearing and disappearing down to what I assume are keys effectively being held down or not making contact or whatever.

And now I can't get onto my laptop at all, because when I turn it on it goes straight to some BIOS screen and shits its pants if I try and press anything.

So what I'm asking is, basically, is how do I find out if my laptop is still in warranty? It's only 6 months old. This thing is clearly fucked.
