   It was so long ago I don't even remember what it was, maybe a Cpmpaq, but   
   I managed to pour half a cup of coffee on a laptop keyboard. Replacement   
   wasn't difficult -- as long as you had the secret guide to the concealed   
   fasteners.   
      
   It wasn't any worse than installing a radio in my 2007 Toyota. Thankfully   
   the Yaris forum had a guide to all the snap together plastic bits and   
   pieces you had to remove to get to the actual DIN cutout.
