So my wife spilled an entire cup of coffee on my Acer 7740 6656 laptop about 2 months ago. When it happened it stopped working and later that day i tried to get it to turn on but nothing. Since it is a backup machine for us we put it aside and let it dry out. That was about 2-3 months ago. I just tried it again and it still will not turn on. I don't even get a light or anything on it so i am suspecting that something in the main power circuit has been blown, like a rectifier or perhaps a fuse if there is one.
What I am wondering is if anyone out there has had a similar problem and what they may have done to fix it. Keep in mind i am not a complete novice at fixing/building electronics I have successfully replaced laptop screens/keyboards and other internal components and have built several electronic devices successfully (guitar stomp boxes) so i have the ability to actually remove/replace soldered in components if necessary.
