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

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.

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