Explain the situation to the manufacturer, and tell them that it is only one week out of warranty.  Let them know you have been a loyal customer and tell them that if they want your repeat business they will help you out.

Search ebay for the model laptop that has the motherboard issue.  You might find someone that has one with a busted LCD display or someone selling the mother board.

I suggest you take it to a shop.\n\nOpening things OTHER than a standard PC can be very difficult to those without proper tools and knowledge.  It will also void any warranty.

It would better to try to use the warranty.  If that is expired, then you can figure that the cost would be almost as high as a brand new one.   But check the authorized repair depots for your brand.  Check the manufacturer's website for the one nearest you. \n\nIn general, a laptop might cost $1200.   The repair may be as high as $600.  So by saving money now, you still have that old piece of junk, that might never be right anyway.   \n\nAHH, next time, don't leave it on the floor, or in HARM's way.   Maybe you would be better off with a huge Desktop.   You can get a good one for under $700 with awesome capabilities.\n\nGood luck

Remove the battery and try just ac. I've had some laptops stop working because the battery had no charge. If that doesn't work, get it serviced.

no kiddin.... but where did you get this laptop from.... ??????\nIf that's a real problem... then take all your laptop warranty papers and go to the nearest service center that belongs to the brand of your laptop.... else post again with the LAPTOP SERIAL NUMBER...(someone might be searching for it).

did you check it worked whilst in the shop and get them to sign the reciept to say that it worked.\nif no then you have no comeback.\nget you´re laptop back and start looking on e-bay for the same laptop for spares or repair(like broken screen but not motherboard faults)\nyou will be able to repair it you´re self by taking the base apart and putting it back together in reverse(a monkey can do this belive me just don´t have it pluged in or the battery inserted.\nhave fun and learn something interesting.

Chances are that some of the liquid has got through to the motherboard. I'm afraid that you'll to take to a computer specialist to get it repaired and then I suspect they won't be able to do much at a reasonable cost. It would probably be cheaper to buy a new/secondhand one. Laptops aren't good with liquids, I've had to deal with quite a few.

It might be something simple.  Depends upon how old the laptop is.  Most laptop service centers charge $60 to $70 to diagnose what is wrong.  If they can fix it and it's a reasonable price you can repair it and they usually will apply the diagnosis fee towards the repair costs.  Worth getting it check out to find out.

If it's a laptop, check to see if it's warranteed. My friend did that, and the thing was new enough that the company sent a replacement board to a local computer place to replace it for her. You'll want to leave out the "beer" part though when you talk to them. I bought the insurance for just that purpose!She didn't buy insurance, it was basic warrante came w/hers. Until then you should ne able to plug a normal PC keyboard into it and still use it!

Try cleaning it with a Clean kit which you can find in computers shops. Good luck!

I had an Averatec 5400 series model computer that I bought from WalMart.  I have had troubles with it adding spaces, freezing up and eventually not booting.  I am not sure why you cannot send it to the producer, but I sent mine in for warranty repair (one year limit.  It probably was about a thousand dollar laptop, you bought it because of the features (large RAM, DVD burner, cool silver color) and now you are having problems with what ended up being second rate parts used for assembly.  How about using a USB keyboard and disabling the other one in the system hardware settings?
