I've got a bit of a problem. Most people will get a kick out of this as I did, but I am looking for suggestions if anyone has any.

So Saturday night after having more than my fair share of drinks, I passed out. Supposedly I stood up at 1:30, and started taking a piss on my laptop (I have no recolection of this happening.. really). The laptop was open, power was plugged in, but turned off. When I woke up in the morning, (I still didn't know what happened or why there was a towel on my laptop), I tried powering it on, with no luck. The power lights come on as you can see at http://www.gngsta.com/hp.jpg.

I've tried letting it air dry yesterday, and it's sat in front of the fan most of the day today, and no luck powering on yet, but still have the lights.

If anyone has any suggestions, again, please feel free to let me know as I'm open to trying anything to get this laptop working again .. no warranty either. ;/

Thanks.

One of my friends spilled beer on his laptop. He took it apart as much as he could, washed it all out, let it dry, put it back together, and it worked.

Look on the manufacturers website and down load every document you can find that applies to your laptop.

Get the proper tools together (buy them if you have to), read and reread any assembly and disassembly instructions, pay particular attention to screw sizes, take it apart, clean and let everything completely dry.

Put it back together and hope for the best.

Keep track of the fasteners that attach each component so you don't forget what went where. This is not an easy job but you should be able to pull it off.

Think I'll have a beer...you might want to wait for awhile.

Later,

Skip
