My brother spilled half a glass of water on the keyboard of my dad's computer. Water+keyboard=fucked motherboard iirc. The keyboard isn't working, but the computer is to a certain extent. Things are fucking up though, like:

-everytime you click on a link it appears in a separate tab
-the mouse wheel makes pages magnify/grow smaller instead of scrolling

So is the thing fucked and in need of a new motherboard, or is there something I can do to fix it. I've already unhooked the keyboard, and I tried using another keyboard and it didn't work either.

Where is the part where something random happens and the person it happens to acknowledges you?

Um, both of these are a result of holding the CTRL key down while doing whatever, ie clicking links or using the scroll wheel in the browser. Your control key is "stuck" lol. If you already tried another keyboard, get a USB keyboard instead.

Did you even try restarting? Or checking sticky keys?

Have you tried overclocking the keyboard controller? That should fix it.
Or maybe add liquid cooling to your USB ports.

How do I do that?
