The Site Mascot Harfed on My Laptop

Blue has been battling pancreatitis for the past month. Last week, he crawled onto my lap and promptly threw up all over my keyboard. I wiped it off as quickly as I could. At first, I thought I had cleaned it up fast enough—everything continued working for a while.

Unfortunately, I’ve now started to lose keys. Parts are on the way, but replacing the keyboard assembly won’t be a trivial repair. I’ll have to disassemble the entire machine, as everything anchors to the keyboard assembly.

I could’ve had someone else repair it for me, but that would cost about half the price of a new machine. I was willing to invest fifty bucks in hopes of a successful fix.

Hopefully, things work out. There’s a chance I’ll discover more damage as I take it apart.

More to come as the parts arrive—stay tuned…
