HP Elite Book

Don't know spec or serial number.

 

The initial problem of the system:

-Cooling fan runs continuously at a high speed 

-The screen display is blank

-CAPS lock, Wireless, mute button LED Blinks.

 

And system could only shutdown after long pressing the power button for 9 seconds.

 

 

Preceding this was an event of a spilled drink into the system, and deposits on the system board.

 

Technician cleaned and serviced the board and, after connecting to a power source, system showed no power.

 

Few days after, I reconnected the system to a power source and the screen came on to a POST Error message (without pressing the power button). 

These is the POST Error message: "The system time is invalid. This may be a result of a loss in battery power. Set the correct time and date using your operating system. If this message persist you may need to replace the onboard battery. 

Real- Time Clock Power loss (005)

Enter Reboot system 

For more information, please visit www.hp.com\go\techcenter\startup"

 

Currently, none of the keyboard keys are responding and the power button isn't responding even after the 9 seconds long press.

 

Please what should I do?

  • (I'm not certain the technician might know what to do from this point)

Thank you.
