a little over a week ago coffee got spilled into the keyboard of my M15X yay me.. right afterwards the screen flickered it shut off at the same time i pulled the plug and shuffled to get the battery out as quick as possible. but of course it was too late it had already shut off on its own. fyi was not my coffee but i was the one to knock it over. TO THE POINT. I toar apart the laptop later that day all components layed out dried them and let them sit for about a week before re assembling the laptop and when i press power button nothing at all not a flicker sound nothing.
when i took it apart (aside from the keyboard) i could see exactly where the liquid enough ironically enough thanks to the cream..

in this general area. was not alot. but still got on the board and under the paper ,which i removed to dry. only component it touched directly was the "broadcom WLAN" chip any help would be appreciated as to what got damage/was effected. if its just the motherboard great i can replace that.
thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and help me out - please tell me if your response is what you THINK or what you KNOW i want to be sure before spending money, thanks guys
