Hi Sheena, welcome to the forums!

If your laptop has been drowned in seawater, chances are, there would have been some corrosion happening on the circuits by now and while it is currently working, it will begin to fail when it spreads.

May be a good idea to start looking at another laptop Wink

I would also recover your data of your hard drive now if you have files you want to save before that part fails.
