Okay so i have a friend who spilled coke on his laptop, i took it apart and there doesnt seem to be any corrosion or anything on the motherboard. so i put it back together and tried to turn it on but no luck. i unplugged it, took the battery out and went to take it apart again starting with the hard drive and on a hunch decided to try and turn it on with just the hard drive taken out. it turned on! although it wouldnt go into windows because there was no hard drive but it still turned on. so i guess my question is: is it possible that the hard drive is at fault? will a faulty hard drive connected to a laptop not allow it to turn on? do you guys think installing a new hard drive will work?
