Why would MSY look at it though? Don't know about there, but here in VIC MSY are just stockists, they aren't repairers. Sorta like going to Burson's to diagnose a part you bought at Repco - they wont do it, they'll send you to a mechanic or back to Repco.

Hmmmm, not sure that is right mate. If a shop refuses to test or even look at something for you then they shouldn't be open. I recently had a similar experience where I bought some products on line and one failed. I took it to MSY and they charged me 20 bucks to confirm it was faulty.

IMO if you turn business away you will not last. I will definitely be going back to the same store for my other computer stuff. Simple as that

This is why it pissed me off so much. Why would they turn away a paying customer. I paid $80 which didnt worry and thats $80 that msy north brisbane will never see nor will I ever ho back there and I will certainly be passing on my experience.

Sorry it's been such a muck around mate. I know it's got nothing to do with me but I feel kinda responsible as I recommended this mob to you in the first place.

Sent from my bar of soap with a piece of string

Dont stress mate. It is no fault of yours.

Ok so last night I spilt something on the laptop keyboard when I wiped it off thescreen turned sideways
Not knowing anything about it I pressed a few buttons the lappy told me to and Ive re booted I think is the term
my lap top which erased all my pictures.
Ive sort of got it up an running but want to reboot it again so I can set it up better.
Its just a basic Acer laptop AspireE14. any help would be great, Im using my older laptop
in the meantime,Most pics I think are in this Laptop and my old phone so hopefully alls not lost

You have probably pressed the rotate screen key combination while wiping the keyboard.
Press ctrl+alt+up arrow key and it should bring it back up the right way.... That is if the rest of it survived the down pour.

Hard drive generally survives dampness and spills. It's the diodes on the motherboard and ram solders where it short-circuits and especially if it was on while spill happened.
If the drive is ok, it can be easily plugged into something else, like an external HD dock and everything recovered.
