I'm making this post on a desktop computer that I haven't used at all cause my dad switched my very old desktop (which I had not used it for anything other than to use as extra space since I got the laptop). There's like absolutely nothing on this computer.
A couple hours ago or something, I spilled water on my laptop right before I was about to stop playing CS (I was trying to hit the escape button if I'm remembering correctly). I freaked out of course, and immediately wiped off any of the water on my keys. After, I went to desktop, and realized my touchpad was super-nonsensitive. I was wondering what to do for a bit then I finalyl decided to just turn off the comp. While tipping the laptop on its side, a bit of water trickled out of it, little by little. I shook it a little to get the water out of it. Then, I decided to turn it back on just to see if things were OK. When I got it loaded, when I tried typing something out, my "M" and "L" key, it would also type out a "D" and act as if the d was help unless I pressed something else. Then after like a minute of that, that stopped, but when I tried hitting the "D" key, it wouldn't work at all. I took off the "D" key off my laptop and see if there was water underneath it and stuff. The sensor thingy (or whatever it is) didn't seem like it had any water on it, and the key itself had pretty much no water on it under it. Nevertheless, I carefully wiped water all the actual key, and cleaned off some dust off the sensor thing. I turned it off, and then turned it back on again to test it out, but to no avail, as the "D" key would not work. I accessed the internet to see what to do and stuff in a case like this. Soon after, the laptop froze so I had to shut it off by holding the power button. For some stupid reason, I decided to turn it on again, load it to desktop, and just decided to shut it down (the correct way). I decided to let it just sit there for a bit or so, and I don't remember after how long (atleast 30mins if I'm remembering correctly), I decided to turn it on to see if it was functioning properly. I couldn't get it to boot, all I got was a black screen, with the laptop making soudns of attempting to start up but unable to. Right now, I have my laptop sitting on it's side, with the display open, so that its like a "V". I haven't bothered to try turning it on again.
I'm wondering if anyone can give me pointers on what to do and what not right now cause basically all my song files, homework, and other important files are in there since I use the laptop as my desktop computer. PLEASE HELP!
