[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1565032, member: 56379"] What may have happened is...when the computer was turned upside down & shook...the liquid was spread all over the place...and got into every "nook & cranny". Thus greatly increasing the chances of liquid making contact with something energized when the computer was turned back on. It takes very very little liquid to cause an electrical short in a laptop computer...where the distance between 2 transistors, capacitors, resisters, etc...can be fractions of a millimeter. Also...continuing to use the computer for 20 hours wasn't a very good idea. Bottom line. For the best chances of a complete recovery. This computer should have been: - IMMEDIATELY turned off - opened up - battery disconnected - all visible liquid removed - left to dry for days & days - battery reconnected - then with fingers & toes crossed...turn it on * Nick [/QUOTE]
