I spilled some wine on my Thinkpad T21 and then let it dry, took it apart to make sure it was dry then put it back together. I can get it to start and run and work properly for a couple minutes but then it keeps shutting itself off. PLEASE help. This is my fathers computer and I really cant afford to replace the entire thing right now.
You're going to have to open the machine up, which isn't something I recommend for a novice. It's possible the fan has become sticky and isn't turning properly, so the thermostat is shutting the system down. It's also possible there is a short somewhere. Does the keyboard work properly? Is it sticky? Was it red or white wine? (it could make a difference, but it doesn't) Good luck
