I accidentally spilled water on the keyboard yesterday.
It’s not even a big amount. It’s literally just a drop of water.
I tried drying it off with a paper towel and I thought it was over and was okay.
After coming back from the kitchen, I see my laptop spasming pressing all kinds of keys in my word document.
The shutdown prompt kept coming up, the keyboard was unresponsive, and I can’t even shut it down through normal means.
I forced my laptop off and left it to dry for nine hours hoping that it would work again.
To my surprise it did work again, however the keyboard wasn’t working.
Fuck… Well, at least I can get a cheap replacement for it! I positively thought.
So, I did my usual work and called it a day. I turned it off once more knowing it wasn’t really a big issue.
The following morning, I woke up, got my laptop, and ready start to my day.
I tapped my finger on the ON button expecting a big ass DELL logo appear in my face.
To my dismay, it didn’t display any. I pressed it again and again with each press despair and anger filled my face.
It won’t fucking turn on. What the fuck is shit? It worked yesterday ain’t it?
Nah… Don’t worry, I said. This is perfectly fine. It worked yesterday, I don’t see it failing today either. I’ll just check the insides to see what’s up.
I opened my laptop and nothing was out of place. Everything is dry and everything was fine.
Nice.
I unplugged each component and was very hopeful that it would work again.
I assembled it again and hoped for the best as I once again press the ON button.
I was praying to whatever force in the universe to make it work again. I’ll never make that mistake again ever!
I waited for a while, but there’s no response.
I pressed it again. Still… no response.
FUCKING FUCK FUCK!!
I was so god damn mad at myself at my stupidity.
I made it a personal conviction long before the spill happen to never let any form of liquid get in any of my devices.
Yet here I was! A fucking dumbass. Who violated all his rules. That’s what I deserve for my stupidity.
I distracted myself for a while, feeling defeated. I lay down on the floor with a yoga mat to separate myself from the wooden floor.
I spent the afternoon reading a book, then did some exercises to get the anger of me.
I mean what can I do? It’s broken. I have some work that I want to do but that’s not possible anymore.
The best I can do is make the shit out of my situation. So, I begged my sister for me to use her laptop for a moment then completed my duties for today.
I’ve come to terms that I won’t be able to use my laptop for a while or never at all.
But, I’m still hopeful that it would work again after I get it done in a repair shop.
Don’t be like. Don’t be stupid.
