WET LAPTOP BAD CONDITION

You can pull the hard drive and save all the information from it. However, it's more than likely, the computer itself is shot.

The switch mechanism is likely wet. Remove it, and dry it thoroughly before reconnecting and retrying.

Yes it got wet use a new switch.

Buy a new battery, if it still dosen't work then you jammed your PC, take it for a repair or to the manufactures. wetting a PC/laptop is not what you need.

Fyi, 1 drop of water on motherboard can cause the whole board not function. Either you change it or buy a new one. Change it cost a lot of money.

did you drive in the rain before and this not happen. if you used the heater,or defrost,then sounds like heater core is leaking.

Sorry Boss Nothing can be done for this for data recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open the laptop and remove everything you can and dry it with an air blower not in the sun.When you are sure it's all dried up,place the part one by one and check. Usually, Motherboard are water resistant but for hard disk it might not work.

Good Luck.

dealer only to reset the computer and the key fob

Multicolored vertical bands means that the contacts on LCD ribbon cables are still shorting because of liquid or oxide building in consequence of liquid damage.

Also keyboard is probably not working for same reason.



When you get liquid damage you need to remove immediately the battery and the ac charger, and service the laptop, to prevent more damage caused by shorts.
The service is done by a technician, disassembling the laptop and using a cold hairdryer from distance to dry internal parts.

You must ensure the laptop has no liquid inside before starting it.

In your case I can only tell what parts are working:

If you can see the vertical bands and there is no static stain on display caused by liquid penetratrion, then the LCD is working.

You have backlight, therefore the inverter is working.

To connect to external monitor you can try starting the laptop with video cable already connected, It should start on ext. video.
If you are getting video signal on external monitor, that means that the motherboard is still working.

If you also get windows splash screen (or Linux) , then the hard disk is also fine.

If you do not want to spend any money for this laptop you can wait few more days, with battery out, and try starting it, in the meanwhile oxide can cause more internal damage, that is not the right way to proceed.
The laptop should be sent for repair.
If the laptop is less than one year it will still have factory warranty. However, factory warranty does not cover liquid damage.
If you do not mention that there had been liquid damage , they will probably not realize, and cover the repair, but that won't be really fair toward manufacturer.
To do things properly contact manufacturer and explain them what happened , so that you can arrange a repair, if laptop is fair new they will make an effort to keep quote low.

Do not forget to leave feedback.

Thanks
