Today, I found out that you can ruin a $500 computer with a few stray drops of 100% acetone nail polish remover on the keyboard. FML

Kind of common sense one would think.

No, you actually can't. If you mean a laptop yeah, but a computer? No, just replace the keyboard.

Except that a laptop is just as much a computer as a desktop?

Question is, why would you fix ur nails over a computer in the first place?.. you should be aware that those devices are fragile.

Well this has happened to my keyboard (I have a desktop). I didn’t know the acetone nail polish was leaking. I lost the volume down button. But i can still press it using a chopstick or scissors.

You can also strip paint with 100% acetone. What the hell type of nail polish are you using that requires that high of a concentration?

I'm guessing your computer is a laptop then since you didn't specify. But in the event it's not you should be able to just replace the keyboard. But I wouldn't even have liquids especially something like acetone that close to even a 10 dollar keyboard, nevermind an expensive laptop I just can't imagine why you would do that.

What you really fount out today is that you need to find a new, honest computer repair shop.

You can ruin a lot of things with acetone. That said, I didn't realize they still made nail polish remover containing acetone. (Then again, I've never needed any that strong and therefore never looked for it.) Now that I think about it, I'm not so sure I'd want to even use it. I distinctly remember a HS chem experiment/demo in which the teacher put a spoonful of pure acetone in a jar and then dissolved an entire large box worth of edible packing peanuts in it. Even if it smelled better, I'd still not want on my body.
