[QUOTE="mkosman, post: 426092, member: 33463"] Hey everyone, I'm new to the site, but I've browsed through a lot of pages, and couldn't find anything covering this--so I spilled water on my laptop (not an uncommon theme, I need to be more careful, I know). It was on at the time, and after about 5 seconds it turned off. I unplugged it, and removed the battery, let it air out. The next time I tried it, it turned on and started up, then after about 10-15 minutes, shut back down. Since then, it has turned on a couple of times for shorter periods of time, but usually when I attempt to turn it on, I can hear the harddrive running, but the screen remains blank, and the sleep indicator light blinks rapidly. Through google, I saw that this might be related to the ram being too loose--do you think that perhaps the ram is simply shot? If it started up before, should that give me some hope that at least the logic board is alive? Any advice would be great [/QUOTE]
