Stuck key FE error when booting

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

It could be the keyboard sensor, I've seen that happen with laptops. Keyboard shouldn't be too much money to replace, you could easily get one off of eBay or something if it's not on warranty.

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

A few hours have passed and the machine is dry and everything is working properly ;)

I really freak out when getting hardware problems :nono:

Wet laptop -> take out the battery and unplug it and let it dry for a long time (hairdryer at range?) and hope you didn't spill something that leaves residue.
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
