I spilled c0ffee on my Asus Laptop Keyb0ard. Now it won't even turn on. Sh0uld I try to salvage what I can from the laptop, or go out and buy another one?
 
Solution
If just the board was damaged by the spill, by all means, pull what you can and get a new computer. The laptop is probably repair-able, but I've no idea on the cost (depends on make & model, and on the extent of the damage).
