Yes, I had this great icepack which was supposed to be sealed on all sides, but it really wasn't and the the water crept through the sides and dripped onto my keyboard (don't ask, it was a weird set up......lol) and now my touchpad is on crack and won't move around right.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Nope!


But, I've done things like that before XD Although, I've never broken anything. On one keyboard (the keyboard I love! It's clear, and see through, and has a blue light in it.) I spilled nail polish remover. So some of the letters are coming off ><

Use a hairdryer, maybe? There might still be water inside the keys.

Water and a keyboard aren't good pals. Same with a Keyboard vs. Cat hair and sticky foods. Even a little bit of sticky food hurts the poor thing!! *Pets Keyboard* There, there... I'm here for you...

Try a hairdryer, but if that doesn't work, you might want to look into a new keyboard. When a liquids gets to where electrical prosessing happens, it can really hurt the object. Unfortunately, it sounds like something like this has happened, so you might want to go keyboard shopping sometime soon.

Well it was actually on my laptop, so i can't really get a new keyboard but the day after I posted about it, the touchpad started working correctly so it's all good! Thanks!
