You should fully disassemble the laptop & thoroughly inspect its inside. Look for any traces of water on the circuit boards & on other components. On circuit boards, water damage appears in the form of whitish traces. These needs to be wiped off. This can be done using a tooth brush moistened with few drops of hand sanitizer liquid.
Check all internal connectors & make sure that no water seeped into them. Dry them if needed.
When you are done, re-assemble back the laptop.
If the water fell on the keyboard & you found out that the keyboard is no longer working, then you will have to replace the keyboard.

It would apear that you have a boot sector error. The main system apears to be working. Ctr+Alt+Del will not work because windows is not loaded.
With your rescue disc in the DVD drive, just before it boots up repeadedly press F8 until you get the secondary menu that will let you choose Safe Mode, Restore, Rescue etc. and choose Safe Mode. If it boots all is OK and when it has finished the system should have repaired itself. If it doesn't choose restore, this will try to restore the system. If that doesn't work, Rescue is the only other option.
Hope that helps.

Do you mean on the keyboard side, or the motherboard side? If it was keyboard side, there's nothing that can be done except buy a new keyboard. If it's on the motherboard side, there should be a clamp that can be released by either sliding or lifting slightly. Insert the ribbon cable back into the contact, and close the clamp.

If the wifi is protected and you typed in the wrong authentication code. You will be "connected" but you won't be able to access anything. Try disconnecting and re-connect. Verify you have the correct encryption selected for the access point. I'm sure the librarians should be able to help you connect if you continue to have problems.

if you have an external mouse, try to insert that on your laptop. Then go to the control panel and then mouse and change the settings. Check if you have the synaptics driver on your taskbar and then disabe the buttons under the "buttons" tab. Hit apply and ok. Restart the pc and unlpug your external mouse. Check if the touchpad works..

Go to www.asus.com/support and find your model to download the drivers you require. This is not a direct link but will get you in the correct neighborhood.

Not sure what you are asking but I will assume it is a powering down issue. The computer will not power down if this is the issue. Check and make sure that you are not in sleep mode when you hit the power button go into since I do not know what operating system your using I will assume again what to do here. Go to control panel and select power options and make sure that the power button is set for turn off the computer. Also make sure that everything is set to default do this so that you are sure that you are set as the factory did.

Depending on the version of Linux you are running on, it's merely a simple adjustment in the Display Settings you might have engaged accidentally on the keyboard. Good luck, I hope this helps =]

Filter keys was introduced by the windows operating system its function is to filter out quick repeated keystrokes.
To toggle filter keys on and off hold the shift button down for eight seconds until you receive a pop up asking if you wish to turn filter keys on/off. In that pop you you will also be given the option to disable the function all together.

you might have pressed the small button above/below the thouchpad which deactivates the touchpad..
try to press the button again to activate it..

if this isnt the case then try reinstalling the touchpad drivers

Try to use an external moitor. If the monitor works fine then it could be the inverter or LCD screen. But if it does not work with a external monitor it's more than likely the video chip on the motherboard.

What is going on?

1. Connect your web cam

• Attach all power cords (e.g. laptop and/or web cam).
• Plug your USB cam directly into your computer (do not use any external USB hubs). Turn your cam on
• As long as your web cam and computer hardware are working, Windows should detect it!

2. Open Device Manager

• For Vista
  => Click Control Panel. If you have Control Panel Classic View, click Device Manager
  => Click Control Panel. If you have Control Panel Home View, click System and Maintenance->Device Manager
• For XP
  => Click Control Panel->System, then Hardware tab, then Device Manager button

3. Find your web cam in Device Manager

• Understanding Device Names
  => Windows provides user-friendly device names to accomodate us humans. As far as Windows is concerned, the device name is simply a comment!
  => It's those cryptic Device Identification strings that really identify a device
  => Device Manager displays whatever device name it happens to find in the device driver
  ...==> If Windows finds NO device driver, your web cam may be named "Unknown" or "Other" device
  ...==> If Windows finds the WRONG device driver you may see your web cam with the WRONG device name
• How to find your web cam
  => While your web cam is connected, look through all of Device Manager for devices with a yellow icon (probably a yellow question mark)
  => Be certain to expand the USB category to check all devices listed under it. Also, be sure to also check if category Other Devices appears in Device Manager and look under it as well
  => Your web cam will appear as a device with a yellow icon (probably a question mark)
  => Click on thumbnail to see the full sized image
  
• How to verify the device you found is your web cam
  => Your web cam device will only appear in Device Manager when the web cam is powered on and connected
  => Disconnect your web cam. Verify the device you had found is no longer displayed in Device Manager

4. Find your web cam's Hardware Ids

• In Device Manager, select your web cam device, rt click Properties. Click Details tab
• Select Hardware Ids from the pull-down. You'll see a list of one or more Hardware Id strings

5. Search for a driver based on Hardware Id
> Update 1/26/2011: To avoid a common mistake, don't confuse the number zero with the letter "O". IDs may contain zero but NOT the letter "O"

The best driver will match the Hardware Id at the top of the list. The next best driver match will match the next Hardware Id on the list, etc

• Start by searching for the Id at the top of the Hardware Id list
• If only due to how different search engines work, recommend you cut USB\ from the search string
  => Example: If the Hardware Id is USB\VID_093A&PID_2468&REV_0001 search for VID_093A&PID_2468&REV_0001
• You can start by clicking Search at the top of your TechSpot window to search TechSpot first

there should be a recovery disk that you got with your laptop you just need to recover your computer or you may find that your computer may not have the drivers and may not work properly

Hi

Have you tried to press the FN+F2 keys to activate the wireless switch

I assume that you have Win Vista or Win 7 and a USB Cam and hopefully software for the cam do not plug in the cam place the disk that cam with the cam in your drive then install the software first follow on screen instructions then insert the cam if the software asks for you to do this wait and let it finish the process. You cam will now be installed. This is all that really is to doing it. I hope that this assisted you thanks for using FixYa! Please comment John
