I spilled a tea on my laptop, it won't turn on sometimes.
Hello guys,
5 days ago I spilled a hot tea with honey on my laptop, in a moment laptop turned off. In a chaos I tried to turn it on again, but it didn't.... of course. I plugged off the adapter and turned it upside down. I removed the back cover and drown it in rice with the back cover down (as normal, not upside down) for a night.
The next day it wasn't booting again, I removed the logic board and all components to see the damage, I didn't saw any burned things or water, only traces of an honey, which were sticky. I was trying to boot it with power pads, with an adapter with battery off, I also tried with keyboard off, to ensure there was no short circuit, but with no luck.
After five days I tried to boot it again with keyboard and battery unplugged and it miraculously booted on, twice. First time I shut it down, then I had problems booting it on and after several attempts I made it working again. It all happened only in some special position of adapter or I couldn't say why it booted in that way, maybe some wiring position changed as I was rotating with the laptop... I connected keyboard and battery on the run and keyboard works also everything else except keyboard light looks also working. The problem is I can't boot it properly, only by chance I was able to boot it. I guess, it could be some problem with contacts, wiring related to booting up the machine.
The question is, what could be causing this strange behaviour, should I try to clean logic board with an alcohol, could that possibly help with booting? Or what else should I try to solve the problem?
PS. I didn't succeed with booting the machine with power button.
Thank you guys for your help. :)
Is this a good question?
