Eileens son has borrowed her laptop and decided to give it a drink of gin n tonic, so does anyone here fix laptops as it will not power up anymore the battery has now been removed to stop any further damage and its in the airing cupboard inverted to try and dry it out but its not looking good so if anyone can repair it give us a shout as she has all her photos on it and with it being a Toshiba the HDD will only fit in another Toshiba as the ide connector is different to standard laptop hdds

Thanks in advance and we will pay £100 for its repair if this helps:crying:
 
If you cant get it repaired you can send me the Hard Drive and i'll recover its content for you

Very doubtful. It will be a standard 2.5" drive in a caddy with a custom interface to the laptop.

If you buy one of these you'll be able to slot the Toshiba's drive into that, connect it to another PC and pull off all the data you need.

great to hear its working!! now get a backup disk :)

Timemachine is useful, I have one so that my GF's laptop is backed up, even if she doesnt know its doing it.

She is on her 3rd after 2 accidents.
 
Looks like the keyboard is us but it boots into windows and seems to work ok but very slow so gonna do a factory reset on it see if that helps
