 I was using canned air to clean the dust out of my notebook this morning... and without thinking I turned the can upside down to better spray the notebook sitting on it's side... and yep the wet stuff came out into the computer! It immediately began "smoking"  I shut it down immediately, pulled the battery and power cord both... and watched it continue burn off the wet. I went away from it for several minutes, giving it air. . . and then turned it back on. A few more breath-holding minutes and the message I received was that this computer could not be repaired automatically...if you recently added an element, remove it and turn the computer back on. Well...ahem... I knew what I had done. (Though I did get a lot of dust out of the computer.) I turned the computer back off. SO then I did what you all would know me to do, I prayed. God knows I'm not perfect and in my disabling way often mess up this way. I asked His hand on this, to fix what I had, once again, ruined. Then I said Thank You. I turned the computer back on, remembering times when God answered just such prayers (my washer/dryer won't work unless first asked for help, the dishwasher quit and the prayer worked...countless more things/times...) and believing He just might help me again.... and..... IT LOADED UP JUST FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was giddy with the joy that only answered prayer can give!  I still am.  May your prayers be so answered, and your joy be complete in this new year!

I'm glad it worked out for you. Many moons ago while at work, I accidentally fried my keyboard by spilling a cup of coffee all over my keyboard. The IT Dept. had to replace the keyboard.
 Prayer is good, but I learned at an early age the consequences of expecting miracles. Let me tell you my story of woe.  I tried out for the "pom-pom" squad in junior high. To my surprise, I made the cut and my father talked my mother into allowing me to be on the squad. I was thrilled to have the chance to dance and perform at school. Our gym teacher was the coach. She handed us a list of supplies to buy and told us our mothers would know how to make them if we had any trouble. Yeah, right - I knew there was no way my mother would be willing or sober enough to help me. I used my allowance to buy the materials, but I didn't know how to put it together without any instruction. I tried my very best, but the darn thing came out looking like a tree instead of a pom-pom. I remembered what people said about God's love and praying for miracles. I stayed up the ENTIRE night praying for a miracle - but the tree never turned into a pom-pom. I gave up on those prayers when I had to get up and get ready for school. I was exhausted but I did my best to make myself presentable. Every kid in the school ROARED when I walked into school holding my "trees." My coach asked why I hadn't followed her instructions to have my mother make it for me. I had to perform at every game with those pom-poms. It zapped the joy out of performing. Every time I would look out into the crowd and see people pointing fingers and laughing, all I could think was "Gee - thanks for the miracle, God."  It was a big letdown. Oh well, I eventually grew pom-poms of my own.
