Water spilled, power button continuously flickering

[Apps1203]

Hi, 

I accidentally spilled water on my laptop, it was on and plugged in. I started drying the laptop with paper towel and it automatically shut down. It is not switching on and the power button is continuously flickering. I tried to dry out the water as much as I could. I cannot remove the battery or other components as I don't have the tools to do so. Is my laptop damaged? What should I do next?

Hi @Apps1203,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

Since it's an accidental/liquid spillage on your unit, we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now. I would request you to contact our HP Support Engineers who should be able to sort this out. HP provides repair or service options as well. Hence I encourage you to contact HP support.

For that to happen, we will give you additional instructions/information via Private Message.

Please check your inbox on the forums page for the private message.
