Hi guys, 

 

Yesterday I accidentally spilled milk on my desk and some of it got inside my laptop from the side where the charger cable slot is located. 

 

I managed to dry it. But now the computer won't switch on. Instead when I insert the battery I notice that the battery LED light indicator blinks orange and white at the same time. But won't switch on.

 

When the battery is removed and the computer is plugged into a charger, the power and battery LED light indicators along with the light on the power button are solid colors. The power button and LED indicators are both white while the battery indicator is a solid orange.

 

Can you advise what could be the problem or what can be done to bring the computer back to life?
