Hey everybody. Last night I was sitting on the back porch with my little family (myself, my fiancee, and our 3.5 year old daughter. I have been doing an extra amount of work on the computer lately working on 2 different websites, and as such have had to bring my laptop with me everywhere I go. Sitting down doing some work, my daughter (who was bored) wanting to start throwing the ball with me. Totally cool, I love playing ball with my little girl. The ball we were playing with was one of the thin-plastic, air filled kids balls, and very lightweight. We were having a lot of fun, and she decided to start playing with the bigger, heavier kick ball. When I was turned around checking on something real quick (just-dice), she threw the ball up in the air and it landed on a half-full 32 ounce gas station soda. This knocked the pop right over and fully spilled onto my laptop. Oh shit!
So for starters I said, "Oh shit." Then, I hurriedly grabbed it and flipped it over, trying to pour out any excess liquid Asap. My fiancee told me about her hair dryer in the bedroom. I ran in there and and started using it on high heat, and blowing the keyboard area in an upside down position. I did this for a while, moving the hair dryer to all areas. I then turned a box fan on high and set the laptop in an upside down "V" position, with it open. I set it up like this in front of the fan on high. Today, it will power up and I can hear it running, but I cannot see anything. The monitor will not come on, it is just black nothingness. What can I do to help this? I also tried powering it up a couple times last night and today, and didn't turn my laptop off last night after the spill happened. Today, I learned that both of these things were bad.
Can anyone help me out with this/give me advice?
