Hi,
TODAY I accidentally spilled water on my keyboard.
I cleaned up the spill, REMOVED the battery and the AC ADAPTER, but my screen stopped working. Does anyone have any advice?Umm, let's be perfectly clear on a key point here. Is this a laptop or notebook computer? Sorry, it is a Dell Inspiron LaptopChances are... you're gonna need a new laptop.Place it on a clean DRY SURFACE and put a small box fan blowing on it for as many hours as you can.
Remove the battery before doing this.

Good Luck.I am not as smart as many of these folks, but my daughter spilled soda on two of our Dell laptops at two different times. (don't ask) One keyboard had impaired keystrokes, the other was a total bust. The hair dryer fan solution didn't get it back to normal.
Called Dell and for $20.00 each, they sent two new keyboard pads which were easy to install. Voila, no new laptop needed (alas, we bought another before we found this out). My friend spilled water on his laptop last year and I told him to turn it off, take out the battery and just leave it for a few hours.

The next day, he tried and he told me the keys worked but then he said they were failing one at a time until he gave it to the computer store.
