The laptop restarts continuously after soda spill. The power light turns on, stays on for a few seconds and then laptop restarts. No image appears on the screen.

Possible cause:

Motherboard damage.

Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution:

Most likely spilled soda damaged the motherboard. It’s necessary to disassemble the laptop in order to find other parts damaged by the spill.

In most cases motherboards damaged by liquid cannot be repaired and have to be replaced.

The laptop is completely dead after liquid was spilled on it. There are no LED lights when you plug the power adapter. Nothing happens when you press on the power button. You let it dry for a few days but the laptop is still dead.

Possible cause:

The motherboard was damaged.

Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution:

Most likely the laptop doesn’t start because the liquid went down to the motherboard and damaged it. It’s very likely that some other internal parts were damaged too. It’s necessary to disassemble the laptop and take a closer look at the motherboard and other parts.

Liquid was spilled on the laptop keyboard and now some keys do not work properly. Keys either do not type at all or type wrong letters.

Possible cause:

1. Keyboard is damaged.
2. Motherboard is damaged.

Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution:

If the laptop keyboad stopped working properly after liquid spill, you’ll have to replace the whole keybord with a new one. The keyboard is a sealed unit and cannot be disassembled and repaired.

If a new keyboard doesn’t fix the problem and some keys still do not work properly, most likely the motherboard was damaged by liquid. If that’s the case, you’ll have to replace the motherboard.
