laptop help needed ASAP

was taking lunch a few minute ago and spilled some koolaid on keypad. Worked great for about 5 min and then screen went black. Blew out w/ hair dryer and it will turn on/off still but screen still black. Any tips?

Remove the battery, attach bamboo with zip ties, fill the battery compartment with rocks and chunk it overboard on your next trip out. Be sure to send me coordinates.

PS, be sure to detach the network cable before you chuck it over otherwise everyone will be catching your fish.

On second thought.....You screen may be toast, but it may be possible since it's powering up to output to a monitor and assuming it's still operating, you might could see to back up and retrieve your files etc.

Good luck. Dang computers are rurnin' this world one hard drive failure at a time.

Cut the power pull the battery. Pull the keyboard off and check under not sure if you are comfortable with this step. Now pack it in dry rice for at least 12 hours.
When done with this and you know completely dry turn back on. If monitor still black but you have power connect external monitor and diagnose from there.

Personally, I thought my bamboo idea was a good 'un and I'm miffed that you didn't appreciate the effort.
