My Q is the only thing not giving me problems

[abdomega]

Okay, so I had my laptop (T60), resting on this day window at my girlfriend's apartment. It started to pour and evidently the top window that the computer was under was not completely sealed. Water got in and got on my computer while it was open and running. The screen had water beads on it and the keyboard was covered in water. I think the touchpad at that point was fried because I could barely move it. So I moved the little red thing in the keyboard to shut it down.

That seemed to work. I attempted to dry it off the best I could with a paper towel and let it sitting on a coffee table. Then it magically restarts. I try to shut it down and it's giving me the same problems with the touchpad. Then it starts making the sounds it makes when you hit more than one key at the same time. IBMs do this I don't know if other laptops do. I shut it down and it goes into a DOS screen which reads something like: Error 2010. Stucky Key 7B. Anyway so I shut it down completely and pull the battery.

It doesn't start. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed because I don't have accidental damage coverage, only a warranty. I know that I can take it apart and try to dry it out but I don't know what I'm doing and I need to get a really small screwdriver to do it. They will no less find the water damage and void the warranty and I will have to pay out of pocket.

Then I get into my car today and the clutch went out. The pedal is stuck to the floor. POS. It's always been a shitty clutch but now this. I hope it's only the master cylinder or slave cylinder or possibly the throwout bearing and not the clutch itself.

Both will be lofty repair costs which blows.

P.S. Q is fine!

I feel you man, the last couple of days have been absolute h e double L and all because of drama. Actually if you havent gotten your clutch looked at already see if its the clutch linkage. Mine went out on my old 240sx, when I went to Nissan they told me it was gonna cost me 50$. I went to "another" source and it cost me 8$. the IT guys like Rudeboy and 99hockey might have some other suggestions.
