    Hi,

    Last night I spilt some Corona on my laptop. Now it won't switch on... :(

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Has this ever happened to you?

    I don't know what to do... :(

    Bit late now but -

    Immediately remove power and battery - don't wait to switch off or shutdown !

    then remove the moisture with tissues

    put upside down so stuff don't get onto motherboard

    don't use hairdryer or forced drying

    Model ?

    Oh not Corona! That's the worst! If it had of been budweiser you would've gotten away with it, but Corona is just so much worse!

    Remove all drives and stuff - but it's probably the motherboard :(

    What type / model / how old ?

    Both ALDI and LIDL will be doing cheap and chearful laptops soon.

    The other day I was balancing a tray with my breakfast on it and my laptop. I spilt coffe on it!!

    The laptop powered off but after a bit of vacuuming and taking out the battery and positioning it so the fluid would flow to the bottom of the gap.

    Its fine now

    You are thinking of DELL's 90 day
    The German discounters offer 3 years, and the support call for a replacement power supply was less painful than the normal Dell call centre experiance. BTW: dell are opeing new call centeres in Scotland.

    2 or 3 years. At any rate, always better.

    They're opening lines in Shannon too it seems (Using a 3rd party).
