So, was watching the hockey game last night, having a rye and coke and playing OOTP on my work laptop. I reach for my drink, the glass is a little sweaty, it slips and I spill about a quarter of a high ball glass onto the keyboard.

I instanty turn it upside down, grab a cloth and my wife's hairdryer. After I am confident that everything has dripped out and I have dried everything, cold setting, I start to play my game again and everything is working. Tried all of the keys, everything works.

I get up this morning and it's like it is stuck in sleep mode, it tries to come on but wont. I have had it off for the last 30 minutes and I will attempt to turn it on when I get to work.

If it does not work any suggestions? This laptop is only 4 months old, I have been at my job for 9 months and already had a laptop die on me, through no fault of my own in the first case, but this could be my 3rd if I need a new one.
