Display issues after soda spill on laptop.

[that_kid_kelly]

I had a soda spill on my laptop a few days ago. I cleaned and dried it as best I could without taking the device fully apart after disconnecting the power and removing the battery. It seemed to work fine after it dried until today. It will power on, and the display shows the on-screen start-up fine. Once windows loads, however, the screen goes black with colored lines running down. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

My best guess is you fried a component in your laptop and you need a new one.

Good Luck!

Hi, you have to disassemble the laptop and clean the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol to remove residues from the spill.

I hadn't, but will try this as the next step. Sorry for the late reply, been a busy couple of weeks. Thanks for the tip!
