Hi,

I'm not entirely sure which as to which forum this problem belongs in. So I have an Advent laptop with Windows XP. Today, stupidly I spilt a little bit of juice onto the right side on the laptop where there are two USBS and the battery charging pin. After I did this, I turned the laptop off and dried the side just incase any water had gone in. Anyway, everything seems to be working fine but I keep getting a message which says 'USB port has malfunctioned' and I'm assuming that this was a consequence of the spillage.

Does anyone know how to fix this and is the rest of the laptop going to stay un-damaged?

Thanks :)
