oh no!

Misjudged my centre of gravity and spilled a little water over the laptop keyboard yesterday evening. I still don't have a desk set up, so was doing some work on the bed. Some touchpad and persistent keyboard malfunctions later, I shut it down. It shut down gracefully, but wouldn't power back up. The computer is now drying out.

I've ordered a hard drive enclosure for my HDD, which stayed dry. (the one I have doesn't fit the Hitachi Travelstar in the DELL) to be delivered tomorrow (i.e. ASAP).

Trying to keep my composure. So much to do, so little time, so powered out that I can't work weekends anymore.

Eeek! Tnanks for the text last night, but I really don't know what to suggest re the hard drive caddy for the new drive, I'm afraid :-(

*ponders* I'll have a poke around the interwebs and see if anything comes up.

Not to worry, I've found and ordered one already. I just hope that it will work with the Hitachi drive's connector, otherwise I'm stuffed. Oh yes, and then there's the possibility that my puter will be fine in the end.
