Hello guys!
So I spilled a good 2-300 ml of warm coffee over the bottom side of my laptop. Even though the liquid only spilled to the mouse pad, space bar and the first line of keys over the space bar, keys like p, enter, don't work anymore, while keys like m, v, so just over the area where the coffee made contact, work fine. Keys that are no longer working are space, enter, left control, windows key, up and down arrows, p, and n. So quite random if you ask me. (Not to forget the mouse pad, with which I can still move the mouse around but the click does not work -not on the touch pad nor the left and right click buttons..)
I think I made a big mistake by turning my laptop off immediately but turning it on again to see if it worked.. then I got a blue screen with a sad face and this text: "your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you." Error code "memory_management. I should mention I am running windows 8.1. The error collecting process got to 100% fairly quickly, then got stuck at100% for about 15th minutes, then shut down.
My questions for you guys are:
*can it be only a keyboard/TouchPad issue? Need to mention the laptop seems to be working fine -I turned it on once again after the blue screen event and I couldn't see any other issues - except the keys and touch pad not working.
*if I go with it to an authorised service, will it still void my warranty? I got a 2 year warranty that does not include accidents such as spills, but I still got over 1 year and an half of it, and I want to know if by spilling liquid on the laptop, is it automatically rendered void?
TL; DR: spilled coffee over keyboard, laptop seems to work fine but some keys + touch pad not working at all.can it be a keyboard only issue? Is my warranty rendered void just because I spilled liquid on it?
Thank you guys in advance for any ideas you may have before I go to an authorized Asus service place and sorry for the long post.
