Laptop Powering Issue

846 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  JMPC
i spilled (what i thought was) a minor amount of water on my MSI notebook keyboard, shut it off instantly and plugged the powersupply out. now everytime i try and turn it on, it doesnt react at all when i press the power button once. upon pressing it twice, the orange battery light turns and stays on, but neither the screen nor other hardware show any signs of responding. i took it apart, let it dry, took out the memory cards/harddisk, cuddled with it, gave it inspiring speeches and retried powering it up but always with the same result.
i know its most likely junk and i should try to save the data, but the warranty ran out long ago and i dabbled around with it way too much anyway.

any advice would be appreciated

You can always put the drive into an external enclosure and get the data off of it using a working PC.

Whenever a laptop is exposed to any liquid it's best to unplug it, remove the battery and let it try for at least 48 hours before attempting to turn it on.
