laptop help
 

I spilled a drink into my laptop. Its pretty new too, damn! Ive dried it out for at least a week now,still nothing. It doesnt boot up, lights come on, then shuts down. What can i do? I hate to take it to the geek squad and pay them $160 for them to tell me its fried. Thanks

I'm assuming that you have no manufacturer warranty?

Honestly, try to get the hard drive salvaged, as well as some other parts (battery.. uhhh... removable stuff) .. I think you're screwed :(

1. Never take anything you value to Geek Squad. They're the worst criminals in the computer repair business, and I hope they return their fiery home soon.

2. It's possible that it's a stuck key. If you're truly out of warranty, it can't hurt to look up a few tutorials online about removing the laptop keyboard and cleaning it.

Yes out of warranty.I looked at the ram, hard drive, battery, looks good. Maybe i should talk to HP.Hate the geeks too. Im screwed.

did you buy it with a mastercard or visa? you may have additional warranties...

are you competent enough to pull it apart and give it a good clean out?

Sounds like the motherboard is fried. You could take it totally apart and rinse it out under a sink (even the motherboard) but it sounds like it's fried.
