So I really screwed up last night. I accidentally spilled a beer on my predador 17. And now it doesn't power up. I have taken the panel off, and have cleaned it up. Would it be worth me getting it repaired or just getting a replacement? I love the damn thing. I am so disappointed in myself. I don't really have that much money to get a replacement. I would have to put it on the credit card. Anyone willing to help me repair it. I think it would be a interesting project for me and who ever is involved. Please help. I am so sad.

Decent laptop, just repair it (if the repair comes with a decent price)

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Open it up as much as possible and let it dry, first things first.  

Don't try to power it on until you are sure you have it as dry as possible.

Once that's done you can start troubleshooting.  

Pull the battery out while it is drying.

What's a deep?  Another made up word by the millennials?

 

Beer coats things, even after drying.  I'd take it for a cleaning by a shop, who can use MAF cleaner or similar and guarantee it.
