spilled water on it, turned it off immediately, dried it with a blow dryer, MADE IT WORSE by melting a couple of keys a little (with the dryer).

it powers on, but not one key works on the thing. Now I couldn't have possibly melted every f****** key off so i figured i would let it naturally dry and hopefully tommorow it will work.

but if it doesn't, how the heck am i gonna get him a new one? i cant get a job because I got summer school, and my bro is also trying to find a job too, and he can't find one.

I have to laptops, but both of them suck (one will not work unless plugged in, which is the one im using now, and the other is a netbook with a screen that rarely works properly) so I cant just give him one of those.

tl:dr

how can i make money fast without a job ($300 or more)

Ask your parents, the only other alternative is getting a job or nefarious methods but those aren't an alternative.

The only way would be to get a job to pay him back or he'll get a new brother. Also the drier works for cellphone and ipods never heard good things from using it on laptops

actually i have done this on an older laptop i had a year ago and it worked just fine. so the dryer thing is routine whenever this happens.

Well there is still hope, my brother doesn't care much about his laptop if I ever do that I think he would be pissed but I would live. Does he enjoy his laptop??

Oh you're so dead.

Well I take it that if you're member of a video game website you own video games?

If so you could always sell some games or consoles to repay the laptop. It's the least you could do and it can help you raise the money fast AND Legally.

You broke his stuff so he should have the right to do the same to your gaming rig or console. Sell your games on ebay or gamespot and do the same with other stuff you own until you get about $300. I know that sounds harsh but you have to face consequences.

Tere are also some stores that allow you to pay a small amount and take the laptop while you pay the rest in like 7$ a week or so. The good, you could get a laptop really fast and with low amount of money The bad, you would have to pay for like 2 and a half years if you stick to the 7$ a week deal.

...So he should break my ps2 and sell it, as well as whatever things of value i have (which is not alot of stuff that is worth ANYTHING) in hopes that we get 300 bucks? not the most efficient plan. probably the rarest thing i own (and im talking everything) is a copy of Capcom vs SNK 2

I hear putting a smartphone in dry rice has de-moistened it.

Could try opening up the laptop and fully submerging it in rice

Petsitting. You can do your homework while watching someone's cat/dog. They don't mind.

Well, that sucks. I guess you can slowly pay him back by making his life easier (like doing chores for him, etc.). By th way, tell him to quit looking at porn. It's disgusting and should be burned.

it sounds like it might be just the keyboard. If that is all that is wrong then you can replace that relatively cheaply.

Stick it in dry rice for a few days. If that doesn't work, then, well, it's done for.

Yep, but better to buy the rice than a new laptop.

Sounds like just the keyboard, I think a repair shop can fix that for less than $300.
