Fried Computer

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-10 14:37 ID:4/Pw3r0p

Well, I fucked up and spilled some soda on my laptop. It was half a glass from a can. After spilling it, the keyboard started beeping like hell as I was cleaning it up, so I shut it down (the laptop, not the keyboard) and finished drying it off. Now it won't boot. When I hold down the power button, nothing happens. No flashing lights, no nothing.

My question to you, /comp/, is if theres any chance that my laptop may get better with time. Im wondering if, after the soda that i didn't get (the stuff that seeped into the actual computer) dries off, if there is any chance it'll boot up fine and let me resume my daily online rituals. I know the built-in keyboard is buggered, but I have a few spare external ones I can hook up.

Well, Ive dissasembled everything and cleaned everything thoroughly. In all honesty, the actual circuits and stuff like that only had small, SMALL traces of soda in them, as the keyboard took most of the splash.

What Im wondering is, if the power button is connected to the same system as the keyboard, thats now shorted out, how do I start the actual computer?
