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.

There is no way I would turn on a laptop/phone/etc after such a short time after being wet. Even if you are sure it is dry, it probably isnt. I know this wont help for now, but next time pull the battery immediately and wait a while and/or stick it in a bag of rice to extract moisture.
