A few weeks ago, I spilled maybe at most 10 drops of water on my HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop. After the water hit the keys, the laptop immediately shut off. I took out the battery and tried to let the water drain out. After about 24 hours, I tried to turn it back on, but nothing happened. I had it under warranty so I called, but they said accidents weren't covered. They said I had probably destroyed the motherboard, and that it would cost $700 to fix! I wasn't going to pay that much so I just left it sit for a while. Just today, I took the keyboard off and was looking around inside. Everything still looks good, so I wonder why the laptop won't power on. When the water was spilled, no smoke or strange smell came out from inside the laptop. If this helps anything, whenever I put the laptop on the charger, the blue LED at the plugin port is still on, indicating that the laptop is charging. I doubt it would be the motherboard, considering it was only such a minor spill. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do in order to help bring it back to life?
