My laptop works!!!

My laptop works again! It's a miracle!!!

I cannot confirm or deny the rumor that the cause of my trouble was bubbles. No comment.

But if you ever do happen to spill a strange soapy (or not soapy) substance on your computer,wipe it up immediately, turn the computer upside down, and take out the battery. 

I did not do that.

One, I didn't know I was supposed to. 
Two, the soapy substance only got on the screen (I really don't know how that happened...I must have been talking with my hands like the Italian I am lol)

So like an idiot I just assumed nothing was wrong and kept facebooking.

The next day when I opened it up the light was blinking red. I had only seen it do that when the battery died, so I figured crap, better plug it in. So I did. 

Then the only way it would turn on was if it was plugged in. I figured my battery was shot.

So I let it sit on my dresser for a day and a half.

When I came back today I took the battery out and put it back in like 5 mins later, figuring it was a losing venture because the damage had most likely been done. 

I popped it back in and pressed the power button, expecting disappointment... but no! The computer gods must have been smiling down on me, because it turned on!

And now I'm writing about it on my newly revived laptop. The end.
