Some weird fluid got underneath my device and it ain't turning on

I left my laptop on the kitchen counter and some weird concoction my sister was cooking got in it through the vents on the back panel. it stopped turning on. The only signs of life are when I turn it on the power light blinks indicating the battery is dead. Also I plugged it into the wall and nothing happened either. (this is a 2760p and not a 2740p)

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@very_very_smart for now, you want to treat it the same as your treat any liquid immersion. Download the maintenance manual rom here Disassemble your laptop, remove the logic board. Clean the boards, cables and connectors with a high-grade isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. Use something like this guide Repairing iPhone Liquid Damage - iFixit Repair Guide for the cleaning. Even so it was written for an Apple iPhone, the principle is still the same. Check everything carefully for corrosion etc. Post some good pictures of your motherboard with your question. That way we can see what you see. Once properly cleaned, you will need to start with the power circuitry and see if your motherboard gets power etc.
