i accidentally spilled water (just a tiny bit) on the top of my pc but a few drips hit the connecotors (not really sure what theyre called in english) and now i cant hear anything from my headphones. Barely any water went to the connectors but i cant hear anything...what should i do? open up the pc and try to inspect the connectors from there?

Turn it off now. Leave it for 48 hours to dry out and then try again, with any luck you will get lucky and it will work fine.

If it's just pure water just shut it down and take out the battery (basically don't electricity get anywhere near) and let it dry out.

If it's not just water, you might need to open it up to clean the residue. 

 

But unless there are a membrane keyboard and residue involved (in which case you should wash it out asap), just let it dry.

That's not water...turn the system of and clean it with a micro fibre cloth (don't use a towel or kitchen paper etc) then let it dry out for 48 hours. Good luck.
