So I left the vent up when it rained ...with the laptop underneath.
Now a few of the keys don't work. I'm hoping it'll dry out but it hasn't. yet. Seems to work with USB keyboard OK.
Is they keyboard stuffed or might it recover?
Roger
it might recover if you dry it out slowly. Failing that, replacement keyboards are available for most laptops and aren't too expensive (though a bit fiddly to fit).
I obviously wouldn't do it to a laptop, but having spilled coffee on a desktop keyboard I held it under the tap, rather than fiddle about pulling it to bits.
got mine rained on and it was fine after a bit,,,
but did it get behind the trim on the screen as it did on mine as a few days later i noticed this strange effect up to an inch around the screen that never went....
Let it dry out in naturally in a warm place airing cupboard or near a radiator. Might take a few hours but it should be ok. Often done desktops KB's after coffee wine spills, cleaned with a little soapy water, rinsed under the tap and dried them out ok.

Thanks for the encouraging replies.
I had expected it to have dried out by now (5 days) as it gets quite hot underneath in normal use (no fan) but no changes yet.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, otherwise it's an excuse for a new one.
