[QUOTE="Alana, post: 3487122, member: 39734"] Well, your mistake was using a paper towel to clean off the parts XD There's waaaay to many delicate parts in there to be assaulting it with coarse napkintry... not to mention, it is quite possible static is your culprit, as the handling of computer components doesn't put enough salt or oil/perspiration on the board to cause that particular reaction. You should have used one of those cans of compressed air, held at a safe distance. Prognosis: I hope you weren't too attached to your pc, because your system is FUBARed. What area do you live in? If you're a Michigander, I can get you a great deal on a barebones system that will work jsut fine for school, and is fully upgradeable if you need to do anything else for it. Or, maybe it could be shipped? EDIT: Forgot to add, if the keyboard functions on another computer, it isn't the keyboard.
